The DVD of Mel Gibson's biblical epic "The Passion of the Christ" went on sale Tuesday and sold 2.4 million copies by midday.
"We think a lot of the consumers will be going in after work to pick it up," said Steve Feldstein, spokesman for Fox Home Entertainment, which is distributing the DVD. Total one-day sales figures for the movie were expected Wednesday.
"The Passion," starring Jim Caviezel as Jesus, earned more than $370 million at the North American box office, making it the second-most popular movie of the year behind "Shrek 2."
