‘The King of Kings’ Makes $19M at The Box Office, Breaks 27-Year Record

Angel Studio’s animated faith-based flick ‘The Kings of Kings’ made bank at the box office this weekend, earning $19.05$ and setting a record for the highest-grossing debut of an animated faith-based film.

Written and directed by Seong-ho Jang and featuring the voices of Kenneth Branagh, Uma Thurman, Mark Hamill, Pierce Brosnan,  Forest Whitaker, Ben Kingsley, and Oscar Isaac, the film “follows Charles Dickens, a young author who narrates the biography of Jesus Christ. Together, he and (sin son) Walter Dickens embark on an adventure as the master storyteller engages his youngest son’s vivid imagination.”

The King of Kings has also managed to nab a rare A+ Cinema score and 97% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes (vs 63% fresh with critics).  Angel Studios Global Head of Theatrical Distribution & Brand Development, Brandon Purdie, said in a statement:

The Angel Guild picks winners. Angel’s revolutionary idea is simple: know your audience – and listen to them. The CinemaScore for The King of Kings says it all. The film is one of only 128 films to achieve an A+ CinemaScore, and only the 5th animated film to hold that title that isn’t a Pixar/Disney production. Families want quality films to see together in theaters. This weekend simply reflects what audiences are craving.”

The second largest opening for any faith-based animated film of all time is now 1998’s The Prince of Egypt, which grossed $14.5M at the box office on it’s opening weekend, which is $26M adjusted in 2025.

‘The Chosen’ also chugged along at the box office, with Parts 2 and 3 remaining in the Top 10 and earning a combined $6.7M, bringing the combined box office totals of the entire season 5 to $35.9M and ensuring season 6 will almost certainly follow a similar strategy and debut in theaters next year before heading to streaming.

  1. No man, government, religion, philosophy, etc. will stop what is occurring around the world. And that goes for our churches which have based their organizations (denominations) after mans organizations, not Gods Pattern for His Church and Families.

    Man’s churches are failing as we enter the end of days of which we have been forewarned. Man’s Churches have assumed to themselves priesthoods and authority (as they supposed) thereby dividing believers one against another. They also assumed responsibilities which God ordained and appointed for Men and Women (The Family) not men’s churches. That is why Christian Families are failing like secular families.

    What is God’s Church? It’s Jesus Christ and Born Again Believers having the indwelling of the Holy Spirit our True Guide, our True Teacher, our True Comforter along with God’s Word and the Testimony of His Creation. They are the living
    breathing Church Of God, adopted Sons and Daughters of God destined to be with Him throughout eternity.

    Money has no value here, no trips to Alaska, no books to purchase, no – none of that.

    P.S. Want to know who is the Prince of this world, and his followers? First read the ten Commandments (Thou shalt not) as given in your Bible. Then read them again starting first with the 10th command saying ”Thou Shalt” and you shall know who the god of this world is and those who follow him. Think about it.
