Da Vinci opens with $224 million

"The Da Vinci Code" proved to be a major blockbuster grossing $77 million over the weekend making it the 13th biggest USA opening of all time. Bigger than the opening of “The Passion of the Christ.�

It's the biggest opening of 2006, $9 million ahead of "Ice Age: the Meltdown."

"Da Vinci" did even better overseas, where it had the biggest foreign opening of all time.

Worldwide box office was $224 million, the fourth biggest ever. However as Daily Variety notes, “All three pics that opened larger - Star Wars: Episode III, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, and War of the Worlds - bowed on a Wednesday or Thursday, giving them a head start.�

People are hungry for this kind of spiritual movie.

David,

You are correct. Movie goers are interested in films with deep and meaningful spiritual themes. People will see this film for answers to spiritual questions:
What does this film believe about Jesus?
What do my friends believe about Jesus?
What do I believe about Jesus?

In the midst of questions some will find eternal and real answers regarding truth. That Truth will change their lives forever.
