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.
