The success of faith-based films in recent years has led to a resurgence of Christian movies being made in Hollywood.
In 2018, the film “I Can Only Imagine” brought in $17.1 million domestically during its opening weekend, and over $83 million total, superseding expectations. And the movie “Paul, Apostle of Christ” was among the top 10 films at the box office during its opening weekend.
2019 is expected to be another blockbuster year for Christian films. Here’s a list of five faith-based movies coming in the new year.
