Josh questions Radisson, asking why he hates God. After Radisson gives his response, confirming he hates God for his mother's death that left him alone despite his prayers, Josh asks Radisson how he can hate someone that doesn't exist. In the end, every member of Josh's class, including Martin, stand up and say sing the title tune, "God's Not Dead", causing Radisson to leave the room in defeat.

So in conclusion believing something doesn't exist is the same as denying it?

He's a really good actor, then, possibly on the level of the guy in the Twisted Sister videos.

Not only is he co-starring in it, Corbin Burnsen is writing, directing, _and_ producing! Just like Orson Welles!

eh, I prefer to look at it as great fodder for one of his podcasts down the road. people joke about Samuel L Jackson, but Tobolowsky really is the actor that won't say "no"

you're kind of comparing apples and oranges there - the bottom three were all limited releases that played in far fewer theaters
― da croupier, Friday, 29 August 2014 19:04 (nine years ago) link
the wind rises played on 500 screens nationwide, magic in the moonlight under 1,000, snowpiercer at under 400
noah, son of god and heaven is for real all played at over 3,000 screens
― da croupier, Friday, 29 August 2014 19:07 (nine years ago) link
also if you compare global gross
Noah - $359mThe Wind Rises - $118mHeaven Is For Real - $100mSnowpiercer - $86mSon of God - $67m
and Magic In The Moonlight hasn't even opened in most woody-favoring countries

I'm comparing movies I thought were bigger with movies I thought were smaller (apart from Noah I mean).

so basically, yes, movies about biblical characters with wide openings did far better than foreign-oriented and upper east side-oriented movies in limited release
i bet snowpiercer could have done better if the weinsteins put any promotional weight behind it, but they hedged their bets

I didn't realize how many screens God's Not Dead had played on. I thought it maybe did some bible belt screens and then went to VOD.

don't get me wrong cheap jesus movies are potentially even more profitable than cheap "ack! i just filmed a monster on my camera!" found footage movies

― polyphonic, Friday, 29 August 2014 19:15 (nine years ago) link
i'm just saying it's no surprise. the fact that they did better than art movies (and for better or worse, distributors releases snowpiercer and wind rises like art movies)...well, the fix was in before we even had a say
― da croupier, Friday, 29 August 2014 19:16 (nine years ago) link
Snowpiercer is an action movie with Captain America in the lead. Everyone I know saw it, some more than once. I thought it was much bigger.
― polyphonic, Friday, 29 August 2014 19:18 (nine years ago) link
well now you know you have hip cool friends that saw a movie based on internet buzz while the distributors decided it wasn't worth pushing the film outside of urban markets
