NextImg:Frasier star Kelsey Grammer and Jesus Revolution quadruple box office expectations


Jesus Revolution continues to impress at the box office in its second weekend of showings on the big screen, quadrupling original earning expectations.

The film — which features Frasier star Kelsey Grammer in the role of Southern California pastor Chuck Smith, who invites hippies into his church, beginning the real-life Christian movement in the late 1960s and early 1970s — has grossed $30.5 million domestically.

“For a movie projected to make only $7 million on its debut weekend, Lionsgate and Kingdom Story Company’s Jesus Revolution continues to outperform expectations,” entertainment review site Collider noted.

In its opening weekend, Jesus Revolution shocked the box office by taking the No. 3 spot and grossing $15.5 million.

Based on its success, the Kingdom Story Company announced it had added 100 theaters to the film’s showing schedule this past weekend, bringing the total number of screens to 2,575.


“The audience reaction has blown us all away, and we’re thrilled to be bringing JESUS REVOLUTION to more cities!” the Kingdom Story Company posted.

Moviegoers have defied film critics’ reviews of the newly released film, with Cinemalogue calling the storyline “narrow” and Rotten Tomatoes giving it a score of 54% despite an audience score of 99%.

CinemaScore also noted Jesus Revolution grabbed a rare A+ grade from filmgoers after seeing the movie. Top Gun: Maverick and The Woman King were the only two films to grab such a score in 2022.

Jesus Revolution sits in the box office’s No. 5 spot behind Creed III, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Cocaine Bear, and the latest Demon Slayer film.
