Producer Kevin Downes prayed that "prayer gatherings would actually erupt in theaters across the country."

[IFAPray.org] Lord, only You could have planned "Jesus Revolution's" opening within hours of the final [public] service to be held at Asbury University! May the flames of revival spark in theaters all across America! (Screengrab image)

"Jesus Revolution" [opened] in select markets on Wednesday, February 22, and [opens] coast-to-coast on Friday, February 24. In the film team's prayer call on Friday producer Kevin Downes said:

People ask me a lot how long is it going to last in theaters? And we don't know the answer to that because...all the movies compete with one another that weekend, and then the actual locations have the decision about what movies they want to hold over for the next weekend as well as the new movies that come out for the next weekend. And so that's why we push everybody: "Go opening weekend." Because we want the movie to last as long as possible so that it's competing at a high level with all those other movies that we may not agree with. And it puts Jesus in the spotlight...as long as possible.

Join others crying out to the Lord day and night

Downes prayed that "prayer gatherings would actually erupt in theaters across the country."

On Friday, February 24, Jonathan Roumie (Jesus in The Chosen and Lonnie Frisbee in Jesus Revolution) and Andy Erwin (producer of Jesus Revolution) will be on the team's prayer call at 1:00 p.m. Eastern, and you're welcome to join: www.JesusRevolution.movie/prayer-team.
