“The Passion of The Christ” remained the top draw at the North American box office this past weekend, grossing about $51.4 million.
After only 12 days in theaters, ticket sales for Mel Gibson’s film have reached $212 million (including $3 million in private group sales before it was released Feb. 25), said Bob Berney, president of Newmarket Films. He expects sales at the box office to reach at least $300 million in North America.
The film opened March 5 in Portugal and Poland.
