BWAHAHAHA! THE FUNDIES LOSE AGAIN!

FundieHive was quite upset over The Da Vinci Code and some were literally praying that it would do poorly at the box office. Too damn bad for them:

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Moviegoers gave their blessing to the "The Da Vinci Code" over the weekend, spending an estimated $77 million to see the Tom Hanks religious thriller.

While the film didn't set a domestic box office record, it was the largest weekend opening of the year so far and became the second largest worldwide release after "Star Wars: Episode III." It garnered some $224 million worldwide, according to Sony Pictures.

The film also was the best domestic opening for both Hanks and director Ron Howard.

According to ERC, the all-time FundieHive movie, The Passion of the Christ, did only marginally better in its opening weekend: $84 million. In addition, all 4 Harry Potter movies beat Passion.

I wonder how Drudge and War Whore Ingraham will spin this?
