Thumbs up The War Room- current movie

We who are retired can take advantage of the afternoon matinee at the theater.

Went to see The War Room!

Absolutely great movie. Powerful! If at all possible______go see this movie!

I'm not the biggest fan of "the Christian movie"

This is well done. Good message. Presence of God. { I know...in a movie ...how can this be }

Bring kleenex ! You will be blessed .

Re: The War Room- current movie

Consider this: Straight Outta Compton was #1 at the box office this past weekend. It made over $13 million. The War Room came in at #2, making a little over $11 million.

Here's the incredible part: SOC was shown at 3,142 while TWR was shown at 1,135 (over 2,000 less). The average from each location was $4k for SOC, while the average for TWR was just over $10K!

Had more theaters been willing to show TWR, I'm sure it would have been a record-breaking weekend for a faith-based movie.

Unfortunately, the nearest theaters is about 30 to 45 minutes away from where we live.

Out of the many theaters in our metro area only 3 had The War Room.

The last I checked, a couple weeks ago, in the whole PHX metro, only two theaters were showing it. None in the east valley, where we live.

*EDIT
Just looked online and there were 3 theaters added near where I live! Definitely want to see this soon.

Will probably wait until it comes out on DVD, but thanks for letting us know that it was good!
