I don’t know what Mel Gibson’s budget for The Passion was, but he used no real “stars” and it made IIRC about a billion dollars in the end. IMDB shows an estimated budget of $30 million for The Passion of the Christ.
Incidentally, it had it's network television debut recently when TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network) showed it uncut and commercial free. Regardless of what one thinks of TBN, they do air some fine pictures such as Facing the Giants, a very uplifting film.
