'Passion' DVDs Flood Saudi Arabian Markets
High quality DVDs of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ are "selling like hotcakes" in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, the English-language Arab News reported today (Monday). The publication said that bootleg copies of the movie are being sold outside of supermarkets and out of the trunks of cars for about $8.00 apiece. One vendor said that he and his colleagues had underestimated the demand for the movie, largely because ordinarily subtitled movies don't sell well. (The film's dialogue is spoken in Aramaic ad Latin.) He indicated that the source for the bootlegs was the Far East via other members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), including Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.
