‘Passion’ DVD sales huge

The second coming of Mel Gibson’s biblical epic “The Passion of the Christ” on DVD sold 4.1 million copies in its first day in stores Tuesday.

“Finding Nemo” holds the record for single-day DVD sales with about 8 million. But in terms of one-day sales, Fox Home Entertainment is describing “The Passion” as the best-selling R-rated film of all time and best-selling non-English language film of all time.

“The Passion,” starring Jim Caviezel as Jesus, earned more than $370 million at the North American box office, making it the year’s second-most popular movie behind “Shrek 2,” which earned $436.7 million.
