Talk about 'propaganda'.... I'm sure that 99% of those walking out of the movie would completely disagree with you. You hate Christianity and anything connected to it....like good ethics, morals, family values. So we wouldn't in a million years expect you (of all people) to give this great movie a "thumbs up" but thanks for trying to "fool us" once again. Huge box office numbers, BTW. so once again you're full of shit!!!!!!!!!
Y'all recall all the leftstream media hype about Mel Gibson and his movie Passion of the Christ before it was released? Gibson is an anti-Semite, his movie was anti-Semitic propaganda, the movie would flop at the box office. They gave the movie a week at the most before it would crash and become a financial disaster. The Passion would be a negative five star movie.
Then, on February 25, 2004 (Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent), the movie opened on 4700 screens in the US. On its first day, The Passion of the Christ earned $83 million, it paid for itself 3 times over. By the end of the weekend, the Passion had earned $125 million. The Passion was fourth overall in domestic opening weekend earnings for 2004 as well as the biggest weekend debut for a February release. The film sold an estimated 60 million tickets in the US in its initial theatrical run, it went on to earn $370 million overall in the United States, and remained the highest grossing R-rated film in the U.S. & Canada. The movie's worldwide earnings were $612 million. The film was the highest grossing non-English-language film of all time until 2017, when it was surpassed by Wolf Warrior 2.
Funnily enough, The Passion of the Christ was also a relative success in certain countries with large Muslim populations, it made the top twenty in Egypt.
The movie's box office success on its first night out completely flummoxed media mouthpieces. One media moron with his jaw down around his navel wondered where all those people came from. And, they started talking about the knuckle dragging Neanderthals living in "fly over country".
All of the media's attempts to denigrate the movie, its producer/director, and the actors, all the negative reporting, polling and propaganda blew up in their faces.
The leftist media has a talent for getting it wrong. Like back in 08, Obama would be the Savior of the nation. Or in 2016, "Donald Trump will never be president of the United States".
