After 'Passion,' no need for Gibson to work again

By Martin A. Grove
"Passion" power: Before Newmarket Films' mega-blockbuster launch of Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ," insiders were speculating that the controversial film might hurt Gibson's acting career.

Although some wondered if he'd ever work again, as it turns out the real question is whether Gibson will ever need to work again given "Passion's" divine profits. Not only has "Passion" managed to turn around what was a decidedly lackluster year at the boxoffice, it's also impacted on Hollywood in ways that are likely to alter how the film industry does business for years to come.


With about $214 million in hand through last weekend, there's no question "Passion," which Gibson made through his and Bruce Davey's Icon Productions, will gross north of $300 million in domestic theaters. In fact, for several reasons it seems quite likely to reach $350-400 million. To begin with, "Passion" should continue to benefit from favorable word of mouth, which has helped drive it at the boxoffice since it opened. The more people who see the film, the more people there will be out there who will be talking about it. There also is a strong curiosity factor that typically kicks in when people who originally had no interest in a movie -- whatever movie it might be -- suddenly realize that everyone else has seen it and is talking about it. No one wants to feel left out of conversations, whether they're at school or work or on the golf course, so at some point people get curious enough to find out for themselves what it's all about. Continuing media coverage of how well "Passion" is performing at the boxoffice can also be expected to boost interest in seeing it. Moreover, the calendar should also work in favor of "Passion" because with Palm Sunday on Apr. 4, Good Friday on Apr. 9 and Easter Sunday on Apr. 11 the picture will suddenly become more timely than ever to its

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Filmmaker Mel Gibson fed the hungry multitudes at the North American box office as his gritty biblical epic "The Passion of the Christ" smashed past the $200 million sales mark after just two weeks.

According to estimates issued on Sunday, the movie has sold $212 million worth of tickets since its Feb. 25 release (including $3 million in private group sales the prior two days), placing it in the same blockbuster league as recent Oscar-winner "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King."

The total includes estimated sales of $51.4 million for the current Friday-to-Sunday period, a dip of just 39 percent from, the previous weekend. Most big films usually lose about half their business in the second weekend.

While controversy about its violent portrayal of the last 12 hours of Christ's life may have boosted initial awareness, "incredible word-of-mouth" and repeat business were driving its momentum, said Bob Berney, president of the film's North American distributor, Newmarket Films.

Now that the strike is over, it's the real time to boycott the returning Union hags.
