The Christian movie Jesus Revolution will be shown in 100 additional theaters after a successful box office run in its first week of release.

“We’ve added 100 new theaters for this weekend!! The audience reaction has blown us all away, and we’re thrilled to be bringing JESUS REVOLUTION to more cities!” the Kingdom Story Company announced on its Facebook page.

Jesus Revolution, which tells the true story of the hippie Jesus movement in the late 1960s, grossed $16 million after being released into 2,475 theaters in its opening weekend, according to Box Office Mojo. It will now be available in 2,575 theaters.

As Breitbart News previously reported, the film trounced initial box office expectations:

Jesus Revolution easily beat Hollywood’s expectations for its opening weekend, exceeding box office estimates by more than twofold.

 

The Christian-themed comedy-drama, starring Kelsey Grammer, grossed $15.9 million at the weekend box office, finishing at No. 3. Analysts had expected the Lionsgate release to earn between $6 million and $7 million on its first weekend.

 

Jesus Revolution has benefited from enthusiastic word-of-mouth, with moviegoers giving it an A+ Cinemascore rating. The movie even managed to win over some mainstream movie critics, who praised the movie’s warmth and unexpected sense of humor.
