I'm sure you'll allow me to think the same. One can't prove opinions until the facts are in. We'll see in fairly short order who is right and who isn't. By the way, they have 4,000 prints of the movie, IF that corresponds to theatre count, which I'm not sure of at all, it would mean that The Passion would have the greatest rollout of all time even over X-Men United and LOTR Return of the King. I think that there will be a lot of people like me who will see the movie more than once in order to stick it to Hollywood, painful as it will be to see again.

Roll out is currently at 2800 theaters with 4500 copies of the movie being sent out. Many theaters are showing it on multiple screens.

original roll out was 2700 copies to 2000 theaters, but was upped last week due to demand, and could be upward of 3000 theaters by Wednesday.

I agree with you. The film industry has been my hobby since like age 7 or 8 (along with WWF wrestling, so what does that tell you about me?)

The 4000 prints is the first I have heard. The Numbers movie website reports 2800 screens, as big a February rollout as I am aware. Still, its a long film, means fewer shows per day in the very important first days and weekend.

I think this will be a hard film to watch multiple times. That being said, I am predicting it will do very well, and I don't doubt it's very well made and powerful.
