Look for this movie to get fewer and fewer folks coming anyways.
Better yet, witness directly to those of the public who have never read the Bible or been to Church with the witness of our everyday lives. Sadly boycotts end up backfiring.
The poor movie only made 44 million in 3 days. I think that all the publicity was genius for the movie. People love controversy as proof that people flocked to see the movie. Conservatives are their own worst enemy. Nothing like giving the movie a life that otherwise would have made no more than 10 million this past weekend.
Take confort! The movie “Heaven Is For Real” is coming out next month, based on the best-selling book.
Will it make 44 million in 3 days like the hit movie “Noah”?
Oh please, it had nothing to do with the Conservative reaction...More to do probably with people who saw the Trailers a few months earlier who thought, “That would be a great movie.”

You are absolutely wrong! You could not be more wrong. Controversy sells. This movie would have done about as well as “Need for Speed”. Conservatives could not have sold this movie more if they had tried. Hollywood owes conservatives big time.
Well you got the best-selling book behind it, it cannot hurt.
According to Breitbart, audiences give Noah a “C.” According to the industry trades, a film needs at least a “B” from audiences to sustain its box office from one weekend to the next, and most need an “A” to generate the buzz and return business to keep selling tickets.
In other words, this was Noah’s “big weekend.” Watch for a big falloff over the next couple of weeks. Paramount better hope it sells a ton of DVDs to have any chance of breaking even on “Noah.” Meanwhile “God is Not Dead” had virtually no falloff from its opening weekend. It is doing extremely well, despite being on a limited number of screens and very little in the way of advertising and marketing.
Plus it was considered the “hit movie” for this past weekend by those who did not want to watch “March Madness”.
I do. The only boycotts that have backfired that I’m aware of were the LGBT crowds...
> Wow! This is interesting, the “Noah” movie is placed at #1! Boy I am surprised.
No real competition I’d guess...
Well that is true. lol. I honestly think it is ridiculous to complain about a movie that Hollywood makes. They have tried over and over again to make conservative movies but conservatives do not go. God’s Not Real has only made 23 million and it has been out for 3 weeks....American Carol was a disaster for most level headed people except FREEPERS who thought it should have been nominated for an Oscar...shutter. Conservative are never happy...I am one of the few.
Had read on one of the threads that one of the posters said friends said it is “not worth the money spent” or “waste of money” or something like that.
Remember that the only stats are now the “estimates” that are generated by the movie studios for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The “actuals” come out on Monday afternoon, and are not controlled by the movie studios, but are generated by “tickets bought” in the theater.
So this afternoon, check out boxofficemojo.com. If the estimates are very inflated over the actuals, it means that Noah is a big time stinker.
The next big number is production and advertising cost and how it compared to box office gross.
Right now, the official production budget for Noah is $125m. The advertising budget won’t be known until it has ended its theater run. Likewise the DVD and Blu-Ray sales.
Just stating the facts, boycotts fail when tried.
“...shutter.”
As in:
It’s a realy bad movie so shutter down?
The BOOK I am speaking of IS THE BOOK, THE BIBLE!
I wouldn’t say that. They only fail when you don’t get people to partipate in them...: )
