‘The Chosen’ Breaks Records at The Box Office
The first two episodes of ‘The Chosen’ season five were released in theaters over the weekend in a strategy that continues to pay off big for Dallas Jenkins and Amazon MGM theaters, earning $11,755,197 over the three-day weekend and another $1,239,119 on Monday, bringing in a total of $12,994,316 over the last four days.
Appearing in 2,478 theaters, this was enough to earn third place at the box office, behind Jason Statham’s A Working Man, an action movie that debuted at $15.2 million, as well as the wretched Snow white, which earned $14.2M in it’s second weekend.
Like previous seasons of “The Chosen,” all eight episodes of the new season will be released exclusively in theaters in a three-part ploy before being released on streaming platforms, with the next episodes appearing in theaters on Friday, April 4, and then again on April 11.

With season five showing the events of Holy Week, Jenkins hinted that audience members would likely see a fictitious backstory of Judas Iscariot, who would betray Jesus and then hang himself (a recent story line featured Jesus choosing not to heal the Apostle Thomas’s fiancee after a Roman official straight up murders her in front of them)

I will never forgive the Mormons for making this show. They have earned banishment from society and seizure of all their assets for this. So let it be written; so let it be done.
