'Fireproof' Shows Christian Movies Sell

You can almost picture the Hollywood studio execs scratching their heads. A film that was made for $500,000, relied more on word of mouth than television and print ads, and is headlined by an actor best known for a 1980s television show, opens at No. 4 in the country and rakes in $6.8 million in ticket sales. "Where did this come from? We didn't see this on the radar," actor Kirk Cameron imagined the execs saying. "What is 'Fireproof?'" After this week, few will be left wondering. The Christian-themed film, which stars Cameron as a firefighter whose marriage is on the rocks, is the latest aimed at the 80-million strong evangelical audience.

Respond: Have you seen 'Fireproof?'

Kirk Cameron also stared in a movie called Left Behind; a movie based on a series of Christian books by the same name. They did the same thing with that movie but, I do not remember it making too much at the box office. I really don't have much interest in seeing the movie because of the story line and the fact that it is low budget; I just can't get into most films like that.

No. I'm pretty sure Dr. Phil talked about it on his show and had Cameron on. It was relevant to the subject...maybe that helped. That's really the only way I heard of it. Otherwise I'd be just as lost as everyone else on what the movie is.
