'The King of Kings' proves there's 'clearly an audience' for faith-based movies: expert
Fox News
The faith-based film "The King of Kings" has broken the record for biggest opening ever for a biblical animated movie, beating out 1998's “The Prince of Egypt" just in pre-sales.
The movie is based on a Charles Dickens book called "The Life of Our Lord," which Dickens actually read to his children, as the character Dickens does in the movie. "When your audience wants something, you have to find a way to give it to them. There's clearly an audience and a market for this."
"I know there is an enormous yearning in the audience for this kind of content that is both faith-inflected — doesn't mean that it has to be evangelical, or it has be, you know, beating you over the head with a religious message — but just that it acknowledges that faith is an element in human life and history," Arroyo, who noted he has produced faith-based content in the past, added.
