Noah, Son of God Part of Recent Hollywood Faith Based Film Trend But Will It Last After the strong staying power of this weekends Gods Not Deadand the stronger than expected opening of Paramount Pictures Noah following on the heels of the surprise opening of Foxs Son of Godearlier this year, is there any doubt anymore Hollywood that if you build it, they will come Thats three for three but wait, actually theres more. Back in 2. 00. 8, the Kirk Cameron starring Fireprooffrom filmmaker and associate pastor of the Sherwood Church, Alex Kendrick, took a lot of people by surprise. On a 5. 00,0. 00 budget raised by the church, the faith based picture ended up grossing 3. Blockbuster Movies Sonic The Hedgehog ' title='2010 Blockbuster Movies Sonic The Hedgehog ' />M when it was released by Samuel Goldwyn. They did it again in 2. M budget, Tri. Star released Courageous that opened to 9. M and went onto make 3. M. Before that, in 2. Mel Gibson directed The Passion of the Christopened to 8. Blockbuster Movies Sonic The Hedgehog ' title='2010 Blockbuster Movies Sonic The Hedgehog ' />M domestically and went on to gross 6. M worldwide. I think that is a smart assumption, said Megan Colligan, president of domestic marketing and distribution for Paramount. Noah is a movie that gets people thinking about big spiritual matters, but also is very entertaining. What Darren Aronofsky, Noahs filmmaker accomplished isnt easy to replicate, but its definitely a genre that artists and studios will be thinking about. The next heavenly story up will be from Sony with. Heaven Is For Real, based on the 2. Todd Burpo and Lynn Vincent. The book debuted at No. New York Times best sellers list and then rose to No. Sony purchased rights to the book in 2. Randall Wallace Braveheart directing from a script by Chris Parker. The movie stars the beloved Greg Kinnear As Good as It Gets, Rake. Unaided awareness for the film is pretty low at the moment two weeks out, but anything could happen. Anecdotally, the film being talked about with my FB friends in the Midwest, South and West outside of Hollywood was wait for it Son of God initially and now Heaven Is For Real. With the right marketing campaign, Sony could pull off the fourth faith based film to open decently. Can they do it Affirm Films, which is a sub label of Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions and typically gears its features toward evangelical Christians, has the family comedy Moms Night Out starring Patricia Heaton, Sean Astin and Trace Adkins opening on May 9, Mothers Day Weekend. Affirm minted some moolah with the 1. Soul Surfer in April 2. On October 3, Stoney Lake Entertainment will release the Nicolas Cage action film Left Behind about a commercial airline pilot steering his plane in the aftermath of the rapture. Then in December, theres Exodus, which is more along the lines of the big budget Noah. The Biblical tale in Exodus is that of Moses as played by Christian Bale who leads the Israelites out of Egypt to a safe haven. Will it be epic Its a Ridley Scott movie. It bows from Fox on Dec. So will there be more of these Biblicalfaith based films, and can they be sustainable past their first opening weekends and, more importantly, churn a profit for the filmmakers and distributors Its a good question and I dont know the answer to that, said Foxs distribution honcho Chris Aronson. As far as sustainability and profitability, its hard to say because of the differences in the budgets. There are plenty of examples of faith based films that have been smartly marketing and targeted to a faith based audiences that have been successful. It proves that there is an appetite for it, but I think that credibility is an issue as well. He notes that filmmakers and distribs must be involved in catering toward faith based audiences. You cant pull the wool over the faith based audiences eyes because they will see it and reject it. And I think Son of God producers Mark Burnett and Roma Downey had ultimate credibility because they went directly to the opinion makers in the faith based community and showed that they had the goods. Usually, the way these pictures perform is that they open strong and then fall off. That was the case for Son of God which dropped about 6. The Bible series footage which appeared on History, has grossed 5. M as of this weekend. Freestyle Releasing added theaters for Gods Not Dead but that is not the only reason it chalked up the third highest per screen its second weekend out. With around 7,7. Noah 1. Budapest Hotel 9,0. Its per screen average is also above the second weekend of Lionsgates franchise in the making Divergent 6,7. It only fell 1 in its second weekend out. Zodiac: The Race Begins... Movie Theatre. And lest we forget, we also have Easter around the corner. So will it play through Easter or was this second weekend a fluke Was it helped by the power of the Duck as Duck Dynasty stars Willie and Korie Robertson who made an appearance and helped to promote the film Son of God took everyone by surprise when it debuted from Fox with a 2. M opening weekend. Leading up to that, no one knew what the film was going to do as these kind of faith based movies are hard to track. The audiences for these films do not fall into the category of the frequent moviegoer. When Son of God opened the first night, it stunned with a 1. M Thursday. How did they do it Smart, guerilla marketing. They, like Paramount did as well for Noah, met with church groups and promoted the film heavily through them. They connected with a Colorado based company called Compassion International, which bought up group sale tickets and gave them away to churches in 4. U. S. cities, helping to fuel 4. M in pre sales. Relativity got involved and repped the film in Berlin. Producers Mark Burnett and wife Roma Downey promoted the movie like crazy. They gave many interviews to faith based media. They cut a Spanish language version of Son of God, tapping actor Eduardo Verstegui Bella who dubbed it for their 2. Hispanic populations. After consulting with Korean church leaders, they did the same in the Korean marketplace for a subtitled version and then received a two week run from three theaters in Southern California. They went gonzo in all the right ways. The lesson to studio heads and marketers is whether its Noah, Gods Not Dead, Son Of God, Fireproof or Courageous there is an audience for Biblical films as Foxs own history shows. Perhaps, it takes a thoughtful approach and time to pull it off. Son of God played well across the country but these two had and took the time to meet with church leaders and listen to them and then incorporate marketing and distribution strategies to open the film to the particular audience. For decades, large corporations such as Mc. Donalds, Burger King, Pepsi. Co, Coca Cola, Proctor Gamble, etc. They, like the auto manufacturers, realized that they could reach specific consumers with the right marketing campaigns, carefully crafted that speaks directly to that consumer group. Delta Airlines, years ago when it started with its first Hispanic campaign, put out ads that accidentally used the wrong wording for sit comfortably and instead invited their fliers to sit naked. Oops.   Microsoft also made a similar blunder when going into Japan by not listening to the local language experts. But what Hollywood is learning from these type of films is that with the right budget and the right marketing, they can be extremely profitable. Tapping into the faith based audience means speaking directly to these infrequent moviegoers of those for Courageous in a way that is credible on a budget that is reasonable. They have proven to be bankable. So, say, a major star anchors one of these instead of a Kevin Sorbo or Kirk Cameron and makes a financially responsible deal for all parties involved, it could prove a new audience for that star and also a nice sum for all profit participants.
