The King of Kings Breaks Faith-Based Box Office Record

Angel Studios' latest animated film, The King of Kings, featuring the voices of Oscar Isaac and Pierce Brosnan, achieved a record-breaking opening weekend for a faith-based animated film, grossing $19 million across 3,200 North American theaters. The film surpasses the previous record held by The Prince of Egypt, which had a $14.5 million opening in 1998. Based on Charles Dickens' 'The Life of Our Lord,' the film has been praised for its storytelling and quality, earning an A+ CinemaScore and a 97% audience approval on Rotten Tomatoes. The film's success is attributed to Angel Studios' strategy of engaging their audience and leveraging strong word-of-mouth through their Angel Guild. The studio's Kids Go Free campaign also contributed to its popularity, allowing families to bring children to theaters at reduced cost. This success follows Angel Studios' previous hit, Sound of Freedom, which grossed $250 million globally.
