7 Faith-based Films To See In 2017

... to get the budgets, star power, and wide releases necessary to compete on the national level. Faith-based films have finally been able to get the budgets, star power, and wide releases necessary to compete on the national level. Numerous studios have created faith-based divisions specifically to produce such entertainment, such as Sony’s Affirm Films, which released “War Room,” “Miracles from Heaven,” and “Risen” to strong business last year. With that in mind, here’s a list of the seven more notable faith-based films scheduled for release this year. 1.) “The Resurrection of Gavin Stone” (Jan. 20).

The Return Of Xander Cage' Will Boost January Box Office

... Sense.” The film (starring  James Mc Avoy as a kidnapper with 24 personalities) comes after two horror films in the last two weeks (“Underworld: Blood Wars” and “Bye Bye Man”), so its strong advance word could provide a needed boost. The third film in the “x Xx” franchise comes more than a decade after the second, “State of the Union” (2005) and with a new studio (Paramount, after Sony originally). It’s also a return for Vin Diesel (he skipped the second). However, Diesel doesn’t guarantee success. While he leads the massively popular “Fast and Furious” franchise, his other films have not opened to more than $20 million going back to 2005. The original “x Xx” in 2002 opened to the equivalent of $65 million in today’s ticket prices, so there’s a chance interest could be reignited. “Hidden Figures”. Both “Split” and “Return of Xander Cage” are projected to open within a few million of $20 million (higher or lower). “Hidden Figures” should drop some from the terrific $21 million last weekend ($27 ...
