With “Soul Surfer” they didn’t change it that much, and look how popular it was.
Bad example. Soul Surfer made 43 million in it’s entire run. “The Vow” made 59 million in 5 days so far (as of Wednesday). My wife and I saw the movie and it is good. Go see it. It is a nice story.
It didn’t cost that much to make Soul Surfer, and most Christians I know didn’t see it in theatres - they didn’t even know about it! - but quite a few of them bought the DVD.
I never heard of it until it hit Redbox, and a Christian friend on Facebook told how she bought it for her kids.
