Christian-themed films continue to do well at the box-office.
"Heaven
Is For Real" is the latest hit, earning $21.5 million over the Easter
weekend. The film opened in the middle of last week and has a total domestic gross
of $28.5 million in its first five days. With a production
budget of $12 million, "Heaven Is For Real" has already recouped its money.
"God's
Not Dead" continued to score with audiences, earning $4.8 million over
the Easter weekend, bringing its five-week total to $48.3 million.
That's a remarkable showing for a film that cost just $2 million to make
and has had little publicity. But audiences are finding it.
Another
remarkable box-office story is "Son of God," the re-edited version of
the History Channel's "The Bible" mini-series. "Son of God" has earned
$59.4 million over the past eight weeks.
And then
there's "Noah" which cost $125 million to make but has grossed just
$93.2 million in four weeks. So much for anti-Christian Hollywood
bragging that this film was directed by an atheist and it avoided
mentioning the word "God" at any point.
