LDS Themed Movie Receipts

I haven’t reported the numbers for currently released LDS themed movies in awhile, so here we go.

Best Two Years, The Halestorm Entertainment $992,170 in 192 days

Saints and Soldiers Excel Entertainment $489,316 in 24 days

Napoleon Dynamite Fox Searchlight $22,380,194 in 80 days. Yeah, you’re not reading that wrong. Twenty two MILLION dollars in 80 days!! The budget was only $400,000. There are a couple new millionaires on the BYU campus.

Pride and Prejudice Excel Entertainment $372,752 in 206 days.

Work and the Story, The Off-Hollywood $16,137 in 248 days.

Home Teachers, The $202,268 in 94 days

    I wouldn’t call Napolean Dynamite an LDS-themed movie though.
