Here’s how much it needs to cross the $400 million milestone at the domestic box office
According to the cited domestic lifetime of The Passion of the Christ, the epic Biblical biopic needs around $30 million to surpass the $400 million milestone at the North American box office. It would be an amazing feat for the movie after a long 22 years. However, the film landscape has changed since the pandemic, and people might not be as eager to watch the Biblical epic on the big screen. It is in theaters for just a week, so it might not reach the $400 million milestone domestically.
