I’d be more worried about it being WWE produced than if it’s a Christian movie. Most of their movies are pretty bad. I do find the reformed biker played by Shawn Michaels to be an interesting idea, though, fits pretty well in with his own life.
In fact it’s** better** if you don’t believe in angels, since this one misrepresents them as dead people too. ![]()
So, weekend estimates have it at 18th place with $1,356,900, with an average of $1,590 per screen. Guessing an average of $8 per ticket and 8 screening per day for 3 days, that is an average of around 8 attendees for each screening.
In fairness, it was apparently made on a budget of $2M.
Still terrible numbers. Let’s say it has similar performance to the next movie up on the list (Hillsong–Let Hope Rise) which had almost the same opening weekend (on a handful fewer screens.) Hillsong ended up with around 2.34 million total. The theater takes somewhere in the realm of half of that, so it would still end up as a money loser in the theater (though with that minuscule a budget, easy to make up for on home media sales.)
On Rotten Tomatoes https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_resurrection_of_gavin_stone it got a 42% “splat” score, and 94% of the audience liked it…but as one reviewer said
.
I’d say the avg. price is higher and the number of screenings is far lower. But still in the mid-teens. This an typical average for that range in the rankings.
The surprising thing is how low it is. And likely to rank lower once the official numbers are in. (There’s a lot of films that don’t get estimates on Sunday but pop into the list somewhere at 10 or lower. These push others further down once the weekend actuals come in.)
