It seems like no one knew Jesus died in such a bloody way until the movie was released

I don't think it has as much to do with not knowing, more in the form of reminding us.

Why do so many people want to see this movie anyway? They can’t read the Bible or go to Church?

I agree with this, in today's society people are too lazy to sit down and read the Bible. People don't have the attention spans to sit through services at church. Many people in todays society would rather sit down for an hour and a half to two hours and have someone else tell them what to think, do or say.
I personally do not attend church, since I began reading the Bible and disgussing it with my grandfather I question the need for the church, personally. I can praise God and be a religious person without a church affiliation, and I can do all the good charity things that the churches do, by myself. I can give to others and help those that I can if I put my mind and heart into it.
I find that more often then not everyone wants to hear about the horrors of something or someone rather then the rest of their life. Drama sells, and how much more drama can come from the bloody, gory mutilation of one of the most holy figures in religion? Would the churches pay to have their members see a movie in the same manor about some guy no one had heard about? No, in fact they would do their best to discourage everyone.
If at some point I'd lost you, I'm sorry, I have this bad problem with not being able to focus when talking about a broad or open topic.
