I just saw the movie today at IMAX Keong Emas, Jakarta, Indonesia. It’s a magnificent movie, well directed, well delivered, and well pictured! I’ve recommended all my friends to see this while it’s still avail. It brings back all beautiful memories during hajj. Haram and Mecca are different today, compared on on what we see in this movie. Many buildings are gone and we’ll see the new Mekkah in two or three years from now.

this movie was amazing i just saw it today and i was in awe. I cant express in words how amazing this movie was and made me realize how convienent it is for us to go to Hajj compared to what our elders had to go through.

Osman,

The company that’s distributing the movie has projected for the revenue to be many millions of dollars. They’ve actually made two versions of the film. One with Music and one w/o Music to cater to the Muslims throughout the world.

The major target of this production really is Muslims. The release is indeed limited, but the distribution plan is setup to be quite strategic and focused.

Although its rare for film to make a profit in the theatrical circuit, I’m pretty confident that these guy’s will do just fine in that area due to their focused approach.

cool…is this going to be a DVD release? because I doubt it will get any significant IMAX exposure. I really want to see it.
