January 2006 at the box-office…Other worldviews haven’t displayed power over Hollywood like Christianity has.
In January of 2006, the third faith-based lightning-in-a-bottle movie within a span of a few years spent its 4th, 5th, and 6th weekends grossing at least $10 million at the box-office. In the previous month (December of 2005), the first Chronicles Of Narnia movie had its first three weekends grossing well beyond the $10 million mark. The earlier faith-based movies Signs and The Passion Of The Christ had spent 5 weekends and 7 weekends grossing at least $10 million. The three movies had four of those 18 combined weekends grossing at least $50 million.
In short, those three faith-based movies that point to Christianity surpassed the success of other notable movie trilogies of that time era with those 18 weekends, thanks to excellent word-of-mouth. The other notable movie series included the popular Oscar-winning Lord Of The Rings trilogy (15 weekends), the Star Wars prequels (15 weekends), and even the first FOUR Harry Potter films (17 weekends).
Hinduism, Buddhism, the Muslim religion, the atheist worldview, the agnostic worldview, nor any other worldview...none of those worldviews can make such a claim.
However, the media chose not to cover the story that month, (nor did they ever). Instead, they buried this most relevant information and chose to go to bat for a movie that was offensive to the Christian religion and to other religions as well. A movie that was a Best Picture favorite going into Oscar night and would become the lowest ticket-selling Best Picture favorite in 18 years since 1987, as it struck out when it was finally released in a wide number of theaters nation-wide. It never grossed $10 million in any one weekend. Its domestic total gross was a mere fraction of that first The Chronicles Of Narnia movie.
