Movie “Jesus Revolution” Makes the Top Three at the Box Office This Past Weekend
The Gateway Pundit ^ | February 27, 2023 | Joe Hoft

The Jesus Revolution shocked movie elites in landing in the top three movie money makers this past weekend.

This movie, which includes former Frasier star, Kelsey Grammer, way outperformed expectations on opening weekend.

The Washington Examiner writes:

The premiere of Jesus Revolution took the box office’s No. 3 spot this past weekend.

Moviegoers defied film critics’ reviews of the newly released film, which is based on the real-life experience of hippies being invited into church by Southern California pastor Chuck Smith, who was played by Frasier star Kelsey Grammer. The film depicts the Christian movement in the late 1960s and early 1970s that spread across the country as thousands joined the faith.

Below is the movie’s trailer:

Why are you dissin’, man? It was a relatively obscure movie with little marketing.

We went and saw it. I also recommend it, and I am not a huge movie goer.

Definitely worth seeing. Quite a trip down memory lane for some of us older ones. Very true to life in the clothing and set designs and little details about technology.

What I found interesting is the timing of this in regard to the happenings at Asbury. I’m sure the planned release date was decided on well in advance of the events at Asbury.

I can’t wait to see this movie and share it with others. It’s no coincidence the release with the Asbury revival. God is moving, a mighty move. It reminds me His return for us can be at any moment, and we need to be ready to see him face-to-face! Everyone get ready!

Myself and Mrs. Hoagy62 saw it last night. We both enjoyed it quite a bit.
Very thought provoking, and very well
