My big boss was living in Omaha when "The Last Temptation" was released on video and he remembers people picketing his local Blockbuster store.
In Canada, we also had "Jesus of Montreal" which did well.
"The Ten Commandments" might have been successful in its day.
I'm guessing there aren't too many films nowadays that centre on a major religion. Is there an audience for them? I'd guess yes. If it's well done, you're going to attract audiences.
I'm sure there weren't a lot of people interested in Scottish history but Gibson made it interesting for them . . .
