"Everything we do—it's not about us; it's about the people in the seats and the experience they're having with the film." -Jon Erwin

In fact, the movie scored an A+ CinemaScore rating, a rare feat in Hollywood and an indication audiences truly love the film. A CinemaScore rating, ranging from A+ to F, measures fans' reactions to major feature film releases on opening night.

Getting an A+ is hard to accomplish, but, beyond that measure, "Jesus Revolution" broke another boundary: it made Erwin the first filmmaker in cinematic history to achieve four A+ CinemaScores.

It's an accomplishment even famed director Steven Spielberg has never attained. Erwin told CBN's Faithwire he's deeply honored by the achievement.

"It's amazing," he said. "I'm grateful."

Erwin said his primary passion is serving the audience with a powerful message through film, which is why he finds attaining so many A+ scores on an audience-based measure so exciting.

"Everything we do—it's not about us; it's about the people in the seats and the experience they're having with the film," Erwin said. "And I think, so many artists, a lot of times are like, 'The audience should be there for me ... for my creative genius.'"

He added, "I don't think that's true at all. I think we should be there for the audience." Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
