I just watched Courageous over the weekend. Very good movie made by a conservative Baptist Church group about fatherhood. This same group made the movies Facing the Giants, and Fireproof. Fireproof stayed around at the theaters for several weeks, and grossed several million dollars. I think the movie was made for only $500,000 or less.
Currently Courageous is the highest grossing small indie film in DVD sales. Before that ranking, Fireproof was the all-time highest grossing small indie film production.
Speaks volumes, doesn’t it.
