Miracles From Heaven Remains in Top 5, Risen Falls Out of Top 10 Easter Weekend

Miracles from Heaven fell 36% its second week despite it being Easter weekend, but remained in the Top 5 at the box office with $9.5 million.  The big story of the weekend was Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Risen narrowly missed the top 10 with $900K to place 11th.  The Young Messiah was #17 with $274K.

The Young Messiah Opens in Top 10; Risen Remains in Top 10

"The Young Messiah" opened in seventh place at the box office with an estimated $3.4 million from 1,761 theaters. The opening was likely disappointing to the studio, but the timing of this one certainly didn't seem to help it.

"Risen" did well a few weeks ago and the studio is on the verge of having another hit on their hands next week with "Miracles from Heaven," but "Young Messiah" wasn't able to attract a large portion of the faith audience. For those that did make it to the theaters this weekend to see it, they liked what they saw as it scored an "A-" CinemaScore. The film played to an audience that was 56% female vs. 44% male and 86% of overall attendees were 25 years or older.

Risen in Top 5 at the Box Office for Second Consecutive Week

Risen remained in the top 5 for a second weekend despite dropping 40.7%, bringing in an estimated $7 million for a total of $22.7 million in two weeks.

Risen is For Real

Risen opens in third place with $11.8 million along with a solid "A-" CinemaScore. The film should continue to do well through March and into early April as it scored one of the biggest faith-based openings of all-time, placing seventh behind the likes of The Passion of the Christ, Son of God and Heaven is for Real as well as the three films in the Narnia trilogy. The audience was 53% female with 70 percent 25 years of age and over.
