Big question, why did this movie land up in the number 1 spot? The news report even shocked me.
Because it 'appeals' to the fantasy the liberals want to believe.
Because the studio did everything they could in hiding the true intent of the movie, plus advertising that it was faithful to the Bible — and as a result SNOOKERED all those people before they could be warned that it is actually garbage.
This is a quote from one of the articles up above ...
The producers tried to keep these details secret from the faith-based public in order to not have a backlash from negative reviews that would affect the all important opening weekend box office. I learned about some of these details last year from a French graphic novel (which I was shown in Germany) upon which the film’s script was based.
As far as I know this was not translated or released to the English-speaking market, presumably to prevent these fictional elements from getting out to the faith-based American audience. Now, the secret is out and it is hoped that informed audiences will, like Noah in the film, judge this parody of the biblical account, unworthy of cinematic salvation.
