Courageous Takes #5 With Only Half the Theaters

The "Courageous" movie I have been promoting last week came in at #5, according to www.BoxOfficeMojo.com, even though it had half of the theaters as that of the top 4 grossing films!  As you can see below, Courageous was shown in 1,161 theaters, compared to 3,515 that "Dolphin Tale" (Another positive film to see, by the way) was shown.  AND, this was the 5th best opening weekend for a Christian film behind only "The Passion of the Christ" and the three "Narnia" movies.
