Fireproof and The Love Dare Continue to Bring Hope to Marriages
The Love Dare Book-Turned-Movement Sweeps Married America
(Nashville, TN)—In the fifth week of its theatrical run, FIREPROOF, made by a church in GA, and marketed and distributed by Provident Films and Samuel Goldwyn Films/Sony Affirm Films, is still #11 at the box office though 22 films have opened [nation]wide, since its debut. FIREPROOF retains 80 percent of its original screens after five weeks; remarkable by Hollywood standards.
Meanwhile, The Love Dare (which is featured in the movie), published by B&H Publishing Group, enters its third week atop the NYT Bestseller's List for paperback advice books. Keeping up with high demand, 1 million books will be in print within the week.
The Love Dare is simply that—daring to love—making a conscious choice to love based on 1 Cor. 13.
An excerpt from the introduction states:
Receive this as a warning.
This forty day journey cannot
be taken lightly.
It is a challenging and often
difficult process, but an incredibly
fulfilling one. To take this dare
requires a resolute mind and a
steadfast determination.
It is not meant to be sampled or briefly
tested, and those who quit early will
forfeit the greatest benefits. If you
will commit to a day at a time for forty
days, the results could change your
life and your marriage.
Consider it a dare, from others
who have done it before you.
"FIREPROOF and The Love Dare's hand-in-hand success confirm a desire for a great story that also delivers a meaningful message," said Kris Fuhr, VP of marketing for Provident Films. "People leave the theater filled with hope—for all the relationships in their lives. Given the current cultural climate, this message of hope is clearly a resounding hit with audiences."
