Fireproof Wins at the Box Office!

Fireproof was the No. 4 overall movie in America this past weekend! On a per-screen average, it was the second-leading per-screen film this weekend. USA Today said: “The surprise of the weekend, though, was the Christian-themed Fireproof. Made for $500,000 and released on 839 screens, the Kirk Cameron drama did $6.5 million and took fourth place.  Most analysts did not expect the film to crack the top 10, yet it enjoyed the second-largest debut this year for a film opening on fewer than 1,000 screens; the biggest was Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour, which debuted to $31 million on 683 screens.”

If you have not seen the movie, go see it and support it this weekend!

Fireproof

Many of you know that I have been a huge fan of the movie Facing the Giants.  Besides loving a movie filled with sports analogies, I truly appreciate the fact that it is a film that is redeeming.  It uplifts and edifies while tapping into every human emotion.  For those of you who have seen the movie, you gotta love the death crawl scene!  In fact, we do that around our house with our five boys on a regular basis.  Not really, but I wish we did.

Alex and Stephen Kendrick have finished a fantastic follow-up to this movie entitled Fireproof, which will be released to theaters on September 26th.  The movie is focused on a firefighter whose job centers around rescuing and protecting people, yet he is failing at being able to rescue his own marriage.  In this struggle, he discovers the solution for true strength to build a solid foundation for the most important human relationship in his life.  Support the efforts of the Kendrick brothers by going to see this movie on opening weekend - September 26th.  To learn more about this movie:
