Ping!
There is a big market for this kind of movie, and they didn’t use the odd “limited distribution” plan that other such films have used.
Excellent movie that ALL should see. Bring a Kleenex as well as your saved and unsaved friends. This movie is well produced.
Surprised my derriere....almost all Christian-based movies and TV shows have made a LOT of money, and they know it.
People are just tired of the same old crap that comes out of Hollywood. Even the “family” movies that Hollywood makes are filled with PC garbage.
I have to say that some of these Christian films are poorly acted and scripted. That hurts them. But if they could step up their game just a little, there would be a lot more that make a lot of money and compete in the big leagues.
Yeah came in second behind Straight out of Compton
Isn’t it true that one of the biggest grossing movies of all time was The Passion of the Christ??? There is a huge untapped market for films which would appeal to people of faith and/or the “silent majority” who don’t want to see movies full of sexual innuendo/immorality or liberal values.
There is a huge untapped market for movies which tell a compelling story, as opposed to those with a superficial plot but hours of dazzling computer graphic special effects.
I agree.
“There is a big market for this kind of movie.”
Just like there is a big market for this message in all areas of secular life, particularly politics.
My only concern is that is Hollywood ever decided to be honest with itself about this and start making more Christian-oriented movies, they would do the same thing that the left has done to mainline denominations-infiltrate leftist “Christian” propaganda, such as sodomite “Christians”, into the films.
If box office results were what really mattered to hollywood, the vast majority of films would be G or PG rated.
Even as a Jew I really like their movies. The one about the high school football team was awesome. Particularly the scenes where the star player carries a teammate on his back all the way down the field and when the coach is secretly gifted the truck.
At some point I hope that Hollywood comes to realize that customers want good solid wholesome family thought provoking entertainment and not the mindless amusement they have been able to pawn off on us.
It seems to me that there may be some providential timing here, in a movie like War Room coming out literally on the heels of the Ashley Madison scandal.
Behind a few news stories, I think there may be a real crisis in America quietly unfolding. My gut feeling is that literally millions of households right now are hurting as spouses, parents, children, etc. are discovering terribly uncomfortable truths from the Ashley Madison database dump.
I hadn’t heard of War Room and haven’t seen it, but from the descriptions it sounds like it might be incredibly on-target in reaching out to hurting people dealing with the fallout from Ashley Madison. Let’s pray this is so.
“Save the Cat”
Our local Baptist church subsidized ticket prices at the theater.
I ;live near a reproduction of Shakespeare's Blackfriar's play house. My wife and I usher there on a regular basis. They have plays from the Bard, Middleton, Marlow, etc.... The place is packed, They even bring in School Matinees. The sets are minimalistic, but the acting is amazing.
Peole want to see quality and are willing to pay for it.
