Here are the numbers I have been waiting for. Nice to see Rich red faced. A year ago they were sniggering at Mel for losing 25 Million. Now watch the sneers that "he is making a profit off Jesus."

Hope He Didn't Bet on the Oscars

"It's hard to imagine the movie being anything other than a flop in America, given that it has no major Hollywood stars and that its dialogue is in Aramaic and Latin (possibly without benefit of subtitles)." -- Times editor turned columnist Frank Rich, attacking Mel Gibson's movie about the last hours of Christ, August 3.

"The Passion of the Christ," Mel Gibson's new film about the Crucifixion, continued its strong box-office run over the weekend. It took in an estimated $76.2 million over Friday, Saturday and Sunday, for a total of $117.5 million since it opened Wednesday. That is the second-highest five-day total ever for a Wednesday opening, behind only 'The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King,' which made $124.1 million in its first five days in December. 'Passion' had the highest opening-day ticket sales of any February film in Hollywood history." -- Evelyn Nussenbaum, March 1 New York Times.
