More than one theatrical release is portraying Jesus on the silver screen this Easter season.
In fact, with “The King of Kings” and the three-part release of “The Chosen: Last Supper,” there are currently four separate Christian releases depicting the life of Jesus in theaters. That’s over nine hours of the screen time dedicated to Jesus in most theaters across the nation.
The box office results are showing that moviegoers are pleased.
Angel’s animated film “The King of Kings” released Palm Sunday weekend and grossed over $19.4 million in four days. The film is inspired by Charles Dickens’ beloved classic “The Life of Our Lord” and depicts Dickens telling his young son, Walter, the greatest story ever told—the story of Jesus.
“The King of Kings” is voiced by a star-studded cast that includes Pierce Brosnan (“GoldenEye,” “Tomorrow Never Dies”), Mark Hamill (“Star Wars,” “The Wild Robot”), Uma Thurman (“Pulp Fiction”), Oscar Isaac (“Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens”), Ben Kingsley (“Schindler’s List”), Forest Whitaker (“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”), Kenneth Branagh (“Dunkirk”), and others.
The other three films comes from “The Chosen.” All eight episodes of Season 5 are getting a theatrical release, and the season is broken up into three parts. Season 5 tells the biblical account of Jesus’ last supper with his disciples and other events that occur during Holy Week.
Part 3 of “The Chosen: Last Supper” was also released over Palm Sunday weekend. In its first four days in theaters, Part 3 has grossed more than $6 million.
