"Da Vinci Code" Earns $224 Million Worldwide On Opening Weekend...


With a strong showing in global markets, "The Da Vinci Code" posted the second highest grossing opening weekend of any film, according to Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Despite the lukewarm reviews and the outcry over its revisionist religious story line, the film took in $224 million at the box office worldwide in its opening weekend, said Jeff Blake, vice chairman of Sony Pictures. That would place the movie behind only "Star Wars: Episode 3 -- Revenge of the Sith," which made $253 million in its first days.
