‘Noah’ Now Closely Tied With ‘God’s Not Dead’

noah-lead

Noah, the fanatical environmentalist anti-religious move, has crashed to 6th place, where it’s closely tied with God’s Not Dead, a Christian film.

Noah had a budget of $125 million and is struggling to make that back. God’s Not Dead has a budget of $2 million and has made it back many times over.

Noah is playing in over 3,282 theaters, while G0d’s Not Dead is playing in 1,860 theaters. While the final box office figures for the weekend aren’t in yet, current estimates place Noah in 6th place with $7 million for the weekend and God’s Not Dead in 7th place with $5.47 million for the weekend.

Per theater estimates are too preliminary to list, but it’s clear that God’s Not Dead is doing much better per theater than Noah.

    It appears that Noah is bringing in $2,133 per theater while the Christian movie is bringing in $2,941 per theater this weekend. Definitely, the Christian movie is financially outperforming Noah if these numbers hold.

    This is the direct cost to Hollywood of their ideologically driven movies. If they had stayed true to the story, they would have much twice as much money. They most likely will not make their costs back, particularly when you add the millions in marketing costs on top of the production budget.

    Hollywood egos are losers all around.

      They would have made a fortune if they had just told the true story, but Hiollywood is now at cross purposes. They want to make money, but they want political power even more, so they are including any ideological payoff when analyzing a movie’s performance. If Hollywood starts to fail too much, Obama will bail them out. Film is too powerful as a propaganda tool to let Hollywood fail just because their films stink.

        The article is about Noah NOT Obama. He didn’t make the movie!

      When I remember Master and Commander and A Beautiful Mind (I was acquainted with Dr. John Nash, as I worked on my Doctorate), I also remember the power of Russell Crowe’s acting. Noah could have been a super-blockbuster, had it stayed true to the Biblical story.

      Instead of Crowe’s movie, I watched Son of God, and found it to be quite compelling. With less brutality than the Passion of the Christ, my assessment of the film was that it was designed to increase faith in a faithless time. It performed wonderfully, in this.

        Russell Crowe is a talented actor who has had some difficulty fitting in with the Hollywood crowd. He is too independent for them.

        I haven’t seen “Son of God” but it sounds like a good movie. Faith is good – we all should have it.

    Confirmation or affirmation from the movie industry are not required for faith in the Risen Christ. Popular culture interpretations of any religious faith are only that, expressions of popular culture. I’ve never been disappointed by trusting the Biblical accounts in regards to matters referring to my relationship to Christ.
