Sony Pictures Entertainment reportedly purchased film rights for $6 million, and The Da Vinci Code "effect" raised sales of at least 90 related books on religion, history and art. In late 2004, author Dan Brown's web site claimed more than 17 million copies of the novel were in print worldwide. It debuted atop the New York Times best-seller list, sparked a November 2003 prime-time ABC special entitled "Jesus, Mary and Da Vinci," and celebrated its first anniversary as "the best-selling adult novel of all time within a one year period" with 6.8 million copies in print. The Da Vinci Code, a "theological thriller" which purports to uncover hidden truths about Christ embedded in Leonardo Da Vinci's paintings, has been a publishing phenomenon since its release in March 2003.
