Low-Budget Religious Movie 'Heaven Is For Real' Crushed It At The Box Office
Sony Pictures
Based on the best-selling book of the same name by Todd Burpo and Lynn Vincent, the film follows the son of a pastor who claims to have been to heaven and back during surgery.
The Tri-Star movie, which cost an estimated $12 million, came in third at the box office this weekend, narrowly losing out to "Captain America 2" ($26.6 million) and "Rio 2" ($22.5 million). The religious picture undoubtedly had a nice bump debuting over Easter weekend.
It's the latest in a series of bible-based movies to perform exceedingly well at theaters since the end of February.
The next large-scale faith-based movie will be Ridley Scott's "Exodus" this Christmas featuring Christian Bale as Moses.
