Jesus might be known for calming storms, but he made waves at the box office last weekend.
Fans flocked to theaters to see The Chosen Season 3: Episodes 1 & 2, a special preview screening of the wildly popular TV series on Jesus’ life. Season three debuted on over 2,000 screens globally and grossed $8.75 million in sales on opening weekend, according to a press release.
“We have the ability to try new things, such as putting a TV show in theaters, because our fans are so passionate and supportive. Hopefully this causes others to check out Seasons One and Two,” said series creator Dallas Jenkins in a press release.
