Letters to God fell 42% to receipts of $800K in its second week of release. This was enough to land in 17th place, but likely not enough to keep it in theaters.
“In the movie world, in Hollywood world, that’s not a very good showing,” said David Nixon after the film's release last weekend. "And unfortunately, the theater owners are threatening to take the movie out of theaters because not enough people came this weekend."
Last week, the movie director encouraged the film’s supporters to get their friends, family, and even church to see the movie this weekend or even purchase tickets in advance for following weekends.
“That would make all the difference,” Nixon said. “We need to change this trend right now and get more people to come see the movie this weekend. And then hopefully the theater owners will keep it in theaters so that more people can see it."
