God’s Not Dead Beats Noah

Posted By Daniel Greenfield On April 20, 2014 @ 9:59 am In The Point | 17 Comments

The success of Heaven is for Real and God’s Not Dead shows that if Hollywood wants to appeal to religious audiences, it should make religious movies, instead of hijacking a religious story for a fanatical environmentalist version of Clash of the Titans complete with an attempted abortion.

The numbers are still preliminary, but Noah appears to have completely fallen out of the top 10. God’s Not Dead appears to have taken its place.

Noah will not make $100 million domestically. Its budget is $125 million, not counting another $50 – 75 million for promotion. Internationally though it took in over $160 million which is one reason why Hollywood keeps making so many bad movies these days. They play well abroad.

American audiences may have rejected Noah, but Brazilian, Mexican, Russian and South Korean audiences flocked to see it.
