Mel Gibson Recieves Thank You From Theatre Owners

Mel Gibson has recieved an award for his film The Passion of the Christ, which was voted as Favorite Film of the Year, by the readers of USA Today.  This honor was given to the star at a recent convention of theatre owners.

The successful movie took in more than $350 million at the box offices, and showing the movie was originally considered to be a risky decision, according to Mel Gibson.  He went on to discuss all the controversy that surrounded the film last year.  The director also praised Newsmarket Films, the independent company that distributed the film, which otherwise, may not have made it to the screen.
