I couldn't believe it but it is doing better than Premium Rush and Hope Springs. Movies like this do very well. The people who go see them are very motivated. They want to promote the movie and its ideas. Just look at when the Christian tv channels produce a Christian movie. Churches take group outings to go see those things. The good news is is that these were people who already felt this way. It's not like they are really winning a lot of independents over with this movie.
