Successful Debut of Faith-Based Film "War Room" Stuns Hollywood, Despite Secular Critics

Leah Marieann Klett : Sep 1, 2015  The Gospel Herald

"God totally gets the credit for what's happening. We're seeing a nation becoming increasingly racially divided, but we're seeing the Church rally around prayer and becoming more and more united. Thousands of people have been praying for this movie. With all of our inadequacy, God keeps taking what is said to be impossible and makes it undeniable. We are so grateful." –Stephen Kendrick, Producer

(Hollywood, CA)—The faith-based drama War Room, by filmmakers Alex and Stephen Kendrick, earned a staggering $11 million in its box-office debut over the weekend despite playing in only 1,135 theaters.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the prayer-themed film marks the highest debut for the siblings and is their fifth collaboration after Courageous, Fireproof, Facing the Giants, and Flywheel.

This past weekend, War Room placed No. 2 behind Straight Outta Compton, which earned $13.2 million, but after playing in 3,142 locations.

Said Stephen Kendrick: "We pray God will use this film as a means to rally the Church back to prayer, because we know that when prayer happens, He will be true to His Word and His character, and every ministry of every church will be blessed, and we will become salt and light to the world."

War Room hit theaters on Aug. 28.
