‘Dawn of the Dead’ knocks ‘Passion’ off top spot
LOS ANGELES - Audiences feasted on zombies as the fright flick “Dawn of the Dead” ruled the box office, debuting with $27.3 million and bumping “The Passion of the Christ” from the top spot.

Mel Gibson’s “The Passion” took in $19.2 million, slipping to second place after three straight weekends on top, according to studio estimates Sunday.

“The Passion” raised its domestic total to $295.3 million since opening Feb. 25. The movie passed “The Sixth Sense,” which earned $293.5 million, to take over 18th place on the all-time domestic chart.

Opening in third place with $11.4 million was the serial-killer thriller “Taking Lives,” starring Angelina Jolie and Ethan Hawke in a tale of an FBI profiler tracking a murderer who assumes victims’ identities.

3. Didn't read
But Passion overtook Matrix: Reloaded as the highest grossing domestic run R-rated movie, and should break $300M this week.

Just an update.

5. Ironic, isn't it?
Many Passion viewers are trapped in their own matrix.

6. I think it's funny...
...that that dude in the blue shirt in the front, his face is all decomposed, but his belly isn't. It's probably really brief and not really noticable in the movie!
