The box-office total announced Monday by distributor Newmarket Films pushed "The Passion" past "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" ($124 The film played strongly among all age and ethnic groups and in every region of the country, especially in some Bible belt and heartland cities such as Dallas, Houston and Oklahoma City, said Rob Schwartz, head of distribution for Newmarket Recent ones such as "The Omega Code" or "Left Behind" essentially preach to the choir, and their Christian trappings hold little interest for mainstream audiences But such religion-rooted films had the same goal as any other studio movie â€â€? to present a spectacle that would sell tickets, wowing audiences without provoking them It probably was a blessing in disguise for Gibson that Hollywood would not touch the film He sold his vision from the ground up by selectively screening the movie for like-minded church leaders, who spread the buzz to congregations nationwide " The film succeeded through Gibson's brilliant marketing strategy The religious epic once was a solid subgenre in old Hollywood, with "The Ten Commandments and "Ben-Hur" the most successful of the lot " Because "The Passion" was a personal quest by Gibson, Hollywood observers doubt big studios will jump on the bandwagon with their own religious sagas "I think Mel could easily decide to do more of these, and he would be guaranteed a certain return "I hate to underestimate Hollywood's ability to imitate, but I kind of think that these executives realize that there is a unique alignment of the stars with this picture," said Kim Masters, an entertainment correspondent for National Public Radio Stephen Bauman, a Methodist minister and board member of the Partnership of Faith, an interfaith group of Christians, Jews and Muslims in Manhattan "You've got to have the madness to step outside the system, and he did," said Peter Bardazzi, director of new media development at New York University, who saw "The Passion" on opening day "This is one man's vision, his interpretation of what he reads in the Gospels and how they impact his own life," said the Rev Gibson's "The Passion," however, embodies the most basic definition of the independent film Though its $25 million budget (paid entirely by Gibson) is far larger than most indies, "The Passion" is a personal vision offered up without the slightest concession to mainstream tastes or box-office commerce 2 million over five days, Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" is positioned to get even bigger as the Roman Catholic season of Lent leads up to Easter on April 11 1 million) for biggest debut ever by a film opening on a Wednesday â€â€? Ash Wednesday, in this case The total was almost $8 million more than Newmarket first estimated, because far more people turned out Sunday to see Gibson's grisly crucifixion recreation than originally predicted "The Passion" ultimately could take in between $300 million and $350 million in the United States and Canada alone, Schwartz said The movie, which stars Jim Caviezel as Christ, has deeply divided religious communities 'Passion' Poised to Continue Climbing Mar 1, 5:10 PM EST After opening with an astonishing $125 Gibson hired the independent outfit to put "The Passion" in theaters after Hollywood studios shied away " When some Jewish and Christian groups complained that the movie could foster anti-Semitism, Gibson largely stepped back and let the debate rage "I think we'll see strong bookings leading up to Easter, and I would anticipate Easter would be a huge weekend," said Bruce Davey, Gibson's partner at his film company, Icon Productions Church groups have bought out entire theaters for screenings, while some Jewish and Christian leaders say "The Passion" could revive the notion that Jews were collectively responsible for Christ's death But not necessarily on this level The movie also opened in Australia and New Zealand on Ash Wednesday and is gradually debuting worldwide "I won't say it's a work of art myself, this movie, but he caused more controversy outside the system than anyone has in the last 20 years "He's entitled to his vision, but we shouldn't receive this vision as the same thing as the Gospel Conventional studio marketing never could have provided the free ride of publicity "The Passion" received from all the headlines and media commentary Through March and April, "The Passion" will open in such countries as Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Mexico and most of South America Religious-themed movies usually play to modest audiences This year's 16-day festival, which opens June 12, has a smaller budget â€â€? $3 One of the most popular festival attractions, a free performance by New York's Metropolitan Opera, is back with a presentation of Puccini's "Turandot" June 18 on the New Haven Green Aid to the festival had been threatened by state budget problems, but fund-raisers have helped close the gap, festival director Mary Miller said recently The performances are with Wilton's Music Hall of Great Britain Arts & Ideas Festival to Occur in June Apr 28, 7:45 AM EST The eighth annual International Festival of Arts & Ideas plans to return in June with performances from artists around the globe org Last year, the event ran 18 days and featured 1,300 artists from 26 nations The opera travels to Great Britain and Germany after its appearance at the festival, June 12-15 "We have been extraordinarily fortunate in our fund raising State aid, which had been about $1 million, is expected to be cut about $350,000, Miller said artidea Broomhill Opera of South Africa returns with "The Beggar's Opera," an 18th-century farce, and "The Mysteries," a retelling of biblical stories 2 million instead of $3 And we've seen some surprising increases," Miller said The work was commissioned by the festival, along with the English National Opera and Musik der Jahrhunderte in Germany The festival also includes dance offerings, poetry readings and discussions â€â€?â€â€?â€â€?
