Hey, that averages out to about 3k to 4k per theatre, which is as good as most really hot major releases do.

[b]New Film on St. Thérèse the Latest Christian Film to Hit Theatres

PORTLAND, October 7, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - With the advent of Mel Gibson's 'The Passion of the Christ', the film industry and theatre outlets have woken up to the untapped massive market for Christian films. The latest Christian foray into the secular movie market is THÉRÈSE, an inspirational story on the life of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, which opened in a modest 32 theaters throughout the U.S. on October 1st.

Just prior to the DVD release of Gibson's blockbuster, 20th Century Fox contacted LifeSiteNews.com to arrange for promotion for The Passion and to also explain its new outreach to the Christian market. A representative for the media giant explained that targeted marketing of films to Christian markets following the model of The Passion was underway with the re-release of the Michael Landon Jr. film "Love Comes Softly." (reviewed by LifeSiteNews.com here [url="http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2004/sep/040"]http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2004/sep/040[/url]

At the box office, THÉRÈSE did not disappoint. Despite the arrival of major studio-driven films, such as "Shark Tale" to theaters on the same weekend, THÉRÈSE grossed well over $350,000, ranking #4 in the per location average on opening weekend. In addition, THÉRÈSE was ranked #19 at the box office opening weekend in comparison to 190 other films playing around the country. These statistics place THÉRÈSE in a prominent position in comparison to other studio and star-driven films.

The resurgence of spiritual films arriving in mainstream theaters continues to pique the interest of industry analysts, as they watch a new audience awaken within the film-going community. THÉRÈSE is currently planned for expansion to 900 screens in the coming weeks.

Directed by Leonardo Defilippis, THÉRÈSE has the distinction of being the first film ever officially endorsed by the Vatican prior to its theatrical release.

[color=purple][b]NOTE:[/b][/color] This movie was only released in about 30-40 theatres, so the current sum ($350,000 as of Oct. 3rd) is a good sum. Read the post above mine for details.

[Phikoz]

considering that they made this movie all with donations,
id say that $350,000 is pretty darn good.

[color=red][b]THERESE UPDATE:

THERESE AWAKENS NEW AUDIENCES WITH HER “LITTLE WAY” [/color][/b]

[color=blue][b] “I am simply content to find myself always imperfect, and in this I find my joy. Good deeds count as nothing, if done without love.”[/color] [/b]
- Saint Therese of Lisieux, 1873-1897

Congratulations! Now you can say your prayers have been answered. Despite the arrival of major studio-driven films, such as “Shark Tale” and “Ladder 49” on the same weekend, THERESE ranked #21 nationwide in terms of total audience attendance. Due to popular demand, THERESE has been extended one more week in all the theaters. If you have not seen the film by now, please make time to watch THERESE, contemplate its message and be blessed.

Based on audience interest, the second wave of the movie’s release begins October 15.

[b]While “The Passion of the Christ” was surrounded by controversy for its graphic brutality to portray the message of Jesus, THERESE is experiencing controversy related to its innocence and simplicity. This comes as no surprise to THERESE followers, as Saint Therese herself was and continues to be misunderstood or dismissed because of her lack of successful accomplishment. At first glance, the life and message of Saint Therese seems to lack great depth or merit by society’s measure. However, ironically, it is the very nothings of her life that make her message so poignant for everyone.

Desiring to incorporate the very simplicity of Saint Therese, director Leonardo Defilippis chose to portray this motion picture with an honest simplicity contrary to the popular filmmaking techniques and glamour we often find in today’s movies. In doing so, THERESE challenges viewers to surrender to the spirituality of the film itself and enter into the mystery of this interior story, wherein they will enter into the mystery of Saint Therese herself.

THERESE has been reviewed in secular and Catholic publications all over the country. Now you have the option to submit your own reviews at the THERESE web site discussion board as well as other web sites.

The plan for adding more areas of release is entirely dependent on interest from the potential movie-going audience and encouragement from church leaders who would like the Theresian message to be shared with people like you.

[color=red]We have received complaints on group sales requests, interior theater lights being on during the show, and improper framing which resulted in the top of the picture being cut off. Any grievances concerning the exhibition of the film must be directed to the theater manager.[/color] [/b]
