Filmmakers Say God Was Their Co-Producer

"Facing the Giants" is doing well at the box-office, despite the critics and the skeptics that say a shoestring-budget (try $100,000!) movie can't make it. It has, and is, as seen in this Washington Post article. Registration may be required.

To quote:

Now, "Facing the Giants," the low-budget feature film about faith and high school football they made with church donations and Bible-inspired moxie, is playing at more than 400 theaters around the country -- a gigantic release for any independent movie, let alone one created by near-novices.
The movie has made $2.7 million in 10 days, and ticket sales were good enough last weekend to place it 13th in the box office rankings, one notch below "Flyboys," a war movie with a $60 million budget and starring James Franco.
The "Giants" box office tally doesn't even include some of the nation's largest metropolitan markets, which distributors skipped over in recognition of the cultural divide in this country.

Congrats to them. It might come near me in the theatre, but I might have to wait until it comes out on DVD. So far, I am also liking "Friday Night Lights" on NBC/Global Tuesday nights, and I am not a big football fan.

Speaking of Christian-themed movies, "One Night with the King" opened in select theatres tonight. I hope that it also does well at the box-office.
