So, who's going to see The Passion on Wednesday?


Just wondering how many of you guys are going on opening night?

I know I'm going...my church sold out of the 100 tickets they bought a week ago. I read that Harkins had already sold 6,000 advanced tickets as of yesterday.

People are talking a $75 million opening is possible, considering it's a 5-day weekend for them.

For the HSX people out there, I bought this a few months back at $32...and it's been on fire the last two weeks...jumping from about $70 to $113 today, which relates to just a $35 million opening approximately. It's gone up $10 just today, and I expect it will probably go up another $15-20 before Wednesday...maybe more. It's now predicted at almost 3000 screens.

Amazing the hype surrounding this movie...I personally cannot wait to see it...

Mike

We're going to see it, but probably not Wednesday night. More likely on the weekend or the weekend after.

BTW: I totally missed this stock on HSX. Ugh. Still H$104M + isn't too bad.

I'll wait a few weeks. I hate crowded theaters.

Bought my tickets a week ago and me and the wife are going Wednesday night. I've got high expectations for this movie.

Mike - I'm curious to know how many Christians vs. non-Christians are going to see the movie.

I'm not a big fan of books to film unless it involves wizards named Gandalf, sharpshooting elves, and huge battles. I read the bible enough that I don't feel the need to spend money on the visualization.

Then again if it had a dog with shifty eyes........

I will catch it at some point. There is a lot of buzz around this film, and I don't really like crowded theatres much.

Now, I did hear that this film has some rather grusome (bloddy & graphic) scenes. Is this true?

Uh, yeah. A man being beaten and flogged and tortured and then nailed to a cross and tortured some more is not a pretty sight. It is rated R, for violence.

Roger Ebert says if this wasn't a movie about Jesus Christ, or maybe even by Mel Gibson, it probably would have gotten a NC-17 rating.

Ok, so it's just about on par with the violence seen in Pro-Wrestling then?
