A nation divided.
BOX OFFICE:
NOAH. Worldwide take: $246,872,000 (Budget: $125 Million )
GOD’s NOT DEAD. Box office: $41 Million ( Budget: $2 Million )
Hmmmm...... Surprising. “God’s Not Dead” is traditional Christian; “Noah” is more New Age.
GND had a budget of $4M, including promotion and post-production marketing and distribution, accding to Breitbart.
With the largest weekends done, and a steady rate of decline established, you can make fairly accurate estimations of the total box office for each movie’s run.
Noah will make $104 million, but cost $125 million. LOSS: $21 million or about 18%.
God’s Not Dead will make $65 million, but cost $2 million. PROFIT: $43 million, or 2100%.
God’s Not Dead’s box office haul is nowhere near Noah’s box office haul.
I keep seeing on these box office threads people conflating ticket sales with profits.
As a rule of thumb, Movie studio’s receive slightly less than half of all domestic ticket sales. Less than that for over seas sales.
Noah is a big flop.
God’s Not Dead is one of the best movies I have ever seen. MUST SEE!
I have seen both movies. GND is a better, more moving picture. I believe GND is the best picture of the year so far. And I have seen all the leading action / adventure flicks. Can’t speak to the children’s movies.
