Half Million Tickets Already Sold For “Son of God”

Hebrews 4:12 NCV God’s word is alive and working and is sharper than a double-edged sword. It cuts all the way into us, where the soul and the spirit are joined, to the center of our joints and bones. And it judges the thoughts and feelings in our hearts.

Hollywood insiders have said that the upcoming “Son of God” movie has sold more than 500,000 tickets in advance of Friday’s opening in theaters.

In some cities entire multiplexes have been bought out to show nothing else but “Son of God.”

The Hollywood Reporter reports that because the movie is based on the extremely successful mini-series “The Bible” that the film has the major advantage of not being a religious film with any controversy surrounding it.  The lack of controversy is expected to be a major boost to ticket sales.

Some Hollywood observers believe it’s possible the film could surpass 2004’s “The Passion of the Christ” which earned more than $612 million worldwide.  However, because of the lack of controversy surrounding the film, it might have a smaller opening weekend than the Mel Gibson film.

Producer Mark Burnett told The Hollywood Reporter that the film is meant to be seen in communities and groups.

  1. I forgot: In seeing the movie the 2nd time, I literally jumped when Jesus was being lashed (so, just like reading the Bible, you experience different things each time). Both times, I heard people crying in the movie…they recognize his innocence, thy recognize his love for the people. We all clapped for Jesus at the end of the movie. P.S. I’m so glad Jesus didn’t look sickly…but stronger :). The Bible was depicted very good on screen.
    Go see it many times……all the way passing EASTER!
