Hollywood has been making Christian-themed movies since the silent film era, but the number of faith-based releases and their share of the box office recently has multiplied like loaves and fishes.
Cinematic history is dotted with biblical tales that have done well at the box office. The best-performing of them, according to BoxOfficeMojo.com’s chart of the top 200 most successful movies based on total domestic box office grosses adjusted for ticket price inflation, is Cecille B. DeMille’s 1956 epic “The Ten Commandments.”
