Considering the levels of attendance levels of Friday matinée showings

Were you at the theater Friday? My wife and I plan to go on Saturday. Wonder how crowded it might be.

The international showing just started in europe. I think most of them said they opened 4/04/04. An interesting note is that Titanic grossed $600 million in the domestic market but production and marketing costs were $240 million. That's a net of $360 million. Right now The Passion of The Christ is at a net of $307 million and Easter weekend hasn't been recorded.
