Indian music hits American discos


Passion Of The Christ DVD sales top 4 Million in single day
DVD sales of Mel Gibson's controversial biblical epic, "The Passion of the Christ" topped 4 million in a single day, according to Fox Home Entertainment, the film's distributor. Church groups are buying up this DVD like its the new Bible. The only extras on disc is a interview with Mel Gibson. So I would not be surprised if another issue of 'The Passion' comes out loaded with bonus features, making everyone who bought the first release to go out and buy it again. The record for one-day DVD sales belongs to the computer-animated feature "Finding Nemo," at 8 million. The Passion of the Christ trails the record breaker with 4.1 million units sold in a single day, however, it remains significant, considering Passion's R rating, and sub-titles. Worldwide, "The Passion" starring Jim Caviezel as Jesus, brought in $610 million at box offices, with $370 million in North America alone. Mel Gibson wrote, directed and financed the controversial film.
