Faith-based films performed well at the box office for a second straight weekend, with "I Can Only Imagine" capturing the third spot once again.
"Paul, Apostle of Christ" landed in the eighth spot in its debut weekend, earning $5 million for Sony's Affirm Films. "I Can Only Imagine" held strong in its second weekend in theaters, scoring a solid $13.8 million. That brings its total earnings to $38 million an impressive performance for a film that only cost $7 million to create.

I saw “I Can Only Imagine” this weekend and it is truly a magnificent, inspirational film. Many of you may need a hankie at the end.
I may go see this later in the week...haven’t been to a movie in a long time.
I’ve seen them both. They’re both excellent.
Wife saw it out of town, and said it brought her to tears. Guess she'll have to see it again....
I saw ICOI Saturday with my wife. The theater was packed, lots of elderly folks were there, probably glad to finally see a movie with old fashioned values. A couple were in wheelchairs and people sitting next to them gave up their seats so that the caregivers could sit. The theater was in Silicon Valley, but I felt like I was back in Iowa.
At the end? I cried from the moment his mother deserted him.
To top it off, the two most played songs in the country right now are:
“God’s Plan” by Drake
“Pray for Me” by Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar
Both hip hop no less. There ya go.
Just a warning, “Love Simon” doesn’t have anything to do with Simon the Zealot...
Saw both movies this weekend. Excellent!
There is definitely a strong niche market for Christian films.
Bring a hanky for sure.
Thanks for the warning:) Also all the top movies mention Christ, but 2 of them don’t say his name in vain.
A Wrinkle in Time is not doing well at the box office.
There’s not a big audience, apparently, who want to hear Oprah spew new age pablum.
Went last night for "The Fourth Cross". There were times I felt like I was in the rabble-rousing crowd when the crowd was demanding Barabbas's release.
Great talent. VERY reasonably priced. 2 minutes from CaroWinds.
I was able to hold off until the end, LOL!
I watch at home only.
This weekend: The third “God’s Not Dead” film.
I saw it Central Pennsylvania. Plenty of empty seats - but then, its been a long time since I was a packed theater for any movie I would be caught dead watching.
