“Run the Race,” a faith-based film which has former NFL quarterback and outspoken Christian Tim Tebow attached as executive producer, scored an impressive box office debut on an otherwise quiet Oscar weekend.

Released by Roadside Attractions on 853 screens, “Run the Race” grossed $2.27 million for a per-screen average of $2,664 and the No. 10 spot on the box office charts.

For comparison, the last faith-based film that opened with a similar screen count was Pure Flix’s “Indivisible,” which opened to $1.5 million from 830 screens last October with a PSA of $1,811.

Directed and co-written by Chris Dowling, “Run the Race” follows two orphaned teen brothers trying to find a better life after their mother’s death and father’s abandonment. When one of the brothers sees his hopes for a football scholarship dashed after a terrible injury, the other trains on the track team to finish their dream.

I saw something for this, an ad? a trailer? It looked like a good movie.

Just got home from seeing it. Starts out kind of slow, but has a good ending.

Involves two brothers, but not at all about them.
