Jesus Sells

Jesus Christ, box office superstar:

Directed by Seong-Ho Jang, the film features a starry cast – Kenneth Branagh as Charles Dickens, Uma Thurman as Catherine Dickens, Pierce Brosnan as Pontius Pilate, Forest Whitaker as Peter, Ben Kingsley as High Priest Caiaphas and Oscar Isaac as Jesus Christ. Plus, Angel Studios’ “Kids Go Free” campaign could bring in more revenue. Families can receive up to one free children’s ticket with the purchase of a qualifying adult ticket by using the code KIDSGOFREE. This weekend also marks the release of the latest installment from “The Chosen.” The first two features, based on episodes of the show’s fifth season, have performed well at the national box office. “The Chosen: Last Supper Part 1” debuted in third place over the March 28 weekend with $11.8 million on just 2,200+ screens. The following weekend, “Part 2” earned nearly $7 million for another third-place finish. “Part 1” has generated $18.8 million in just two weeks of release.
