This could be big.

 

35/180

Making a major feature based on a religious story is a big gamble. Can this rise above the Rankin-Bass Christmas specials?

[AniNate]

Voices include Steven Yeun, Christopher Plummer, and stunt cast supporting roles

And also this movie is now titled The Star and is coming out in November

[AniNate]

Oh, crap. Just noticed Mark Mancina and Thomas Newman are doing the score for this. Now I have to be interested.

[langer]

Like all faith based movies, I will avoid this. 

[cannastop]

Didn't realize this got retitled.

[YM!]

Apparently this is budgeted at $18M.

One of these days, there's gonna be a faith-based film coming out in theaters that's too good to ignore. My advice to you is to keep your eyes peeled just in case so you don't miss out.

They must not think it's going to make a lot of money if they are doing at $18m

Still smart saving. If future SPA movies have they're budget under $60M they'll be fine.

I've seen Religulous.  It was faith centered. 

[YM!]

Still it can do CU numbers and be a massive success. Also thanks to @newbie BO buff, BOP's early projection for this is thinking $25M/$110M

[DAR]

This sounds similar to an old Disney short called the Small One

I want to recommend some good faith-based films to you! Chariots of Fire, The Sound of Music, The Prince of Egypt, all the Narnia films, End of the Spear, Passion of the Christ, War Room (definitely War Room if you want an entertaining way to see what Christianity truly stands for (that's forgiveness and mercy by the way)), etc etc etc. There's some good ones out there man!

 

With that, I'm officially predicting that this film surpasses $100 Million domestic.

I'm guessing a trailer with EMOJI MOVIE?
