Pure Flix Announces Upcoming Release of ‘God’s Not Dead’ Part 5

Following the heels of the last four films, Pure Flix and Pinnacle Peak Pictures have announced they are releasing a sequel to the storied series, with drop date somewhere in 2023. The plotline follows:

“(After) a favored incumbent suddenly suspends his candidacy for Congress, an embittered but brilliant campaign strategist is lured out of retirement and convinces Reverend Dave Hill to run for office. The race pits them both against formidable opponents from their past, each with plans to inexorably remove religion’s influence on public policy. Set against a backdrop of unprecedented political, civil and spiritual unrest, Dave struggles to answer an increasingly relevant question of our time: Is God dead in American politics?”

According to the Friendly Atheist the films are earning less and less with each sequel, and this one is likely to follow suit.

The first God’s Not Dead truly was a phenomenon, making more than $64 million during its run in theaters in 2014. The sequel, which came out in 2016, made over $24 million. That likely covered all the production costs and then some, but it wasn’t a blockbuster by any means.

God’s Not Dead: A Light in Darkness, the third film in the series, made about $7.4 million. Not even close to the other two.

God’s Not Dead: We the People, the fourth film in the series, was only released in a handful of theaters for a limited run and made just over $1,100,000. But it was used as a promotional tool to get Christians to subscribe to Pure Flix’s paid streaming service.

Another way of analyzing the success of a film is looking at how it did in its opening weekend.

God’s Not Dead made $9,217,013 in 780 theaters its first weekend… which was just astonishing.

God’s Not Dead 2 made $7,623,662 in 2,419 theaters.

God’s Not Dead: A Light in Darkness made $2,689,677 in 1,693 theaters.

God’s Not Dead: We the People made $1,170,367 in about 565 theaters.

  1. The irrationality of atheist arguments never ceases to amaze. Appeals to argumentum ad populum, and other fallacies, conflicting statements pertaining to the amount of power and influence of Christians, etc. The article has no purpose but to revel in their desire for authoritarian Atheocracy.

    1. And Atheocracy is not even a defined word. There’s no definition for the atheist nationalism they desire, and essentially already have. But there are words that come close to where it leads, such as Maoist, Soviet, and Nazi.

  2. By doing really simple and honest job online, I am already making an extra $43K good or more every month from home. I really made $35K in domestic income last month, which is not inheritable.

  3. The first 3 were the same storyline repackaged, with the 3rd having gone woke. The 4th appeared to be some sort of attempt to make up for the previous woke one… better than the 3rd, but still an old theme dragging on. There’s a reason why viewership dwindled.

    Perhaps this new one should have had Biden sending Christians to the gulag and Republicans to re-education camps to make it more interesting and even more plausible. Better yet, have the leftist’s plans to destroy western civilization directly tied to the judgement of God against those nations for spreading pride celebrations around the world, along with corruption, debauchery and misrepresenting God and Christ to the world.

    The actors portraying Christians should also be calling other Christians to repent of their alignment with the world instead of their typical battling the unsaved world. Definitely avoid capitulating to the demands of the the world like the 3rd one did, and especially avoid the self-centered focus of the pastor in the 3rd one. The pastor in the 3rd one should have been permanently disqualified from being a pastor, just like he should be in real life. He definitely failed the biblical qualifications in that 3rd episode. He was a pathetic example of a shepherd.
