Major movie studios are looking to capitalize on the success of mainstream films with elements of faith- such as The Blind Side. The Book of Eli (the book referred to in the title is a Bible) starring Denzel Washington opens Friday along with the pseudo-spiritual after-life film The Lovely Bones, while Legion, about a war that breaks out after God loses his faith in mankind, opens on the 22nd.
Last year, Nicolas Cage's film Knowing, about t the Apocalypse earned twice as much as predicted ($80 million). Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail, a faith-based comedy, took in even more ($91 million). And The Blind Side, the story of a Christian family that adopts a young athlete was the 8th biggest film of the year ($220 million).
