A low-budget film on the crucial role of fathers debuted as the number one new movie during its opening weekend in theaters across the U.S.
“There is an opportunity for fathers to step up in our culture and take more of a spiritual role and to affirm and love their kids and to prepare them for what should be a Godly legacy among families,” Alex Kendrick, actor and director for “Courageous,” told CNA on Oct. 6
“We see too many men accepting a 'good enough' mentality when their role is crucial to helping each child realize that God loves them.”
“Courageous,” has now ranked as the number four movie in the country, despite opening against six other movies with almost three times as many screens. The film opened on Sept. 30 to over 1,100 theaters across the U.S.
