Paul, Apostle of Christ Box Office Prediction

Blogger’s Note (03/19): The reported 1400 theater count has caused me to downsize my Apostle prediction from $10.3 million to just $5.5 million.

Rising in theaters a week before the Easter holiday frame is Paul, Apostle of Christ. The Biblical drama casts Jim Faulkner as Saint Paul and Jim Caviezel as Saint Luke. The supporting cast includes Olivier Martinez and Joanne Whalley. Andrew Wyatt directs.

Faith based pictures are often tricky to project, but its pre Easter release date should only help. It also doesn’t hurt that Caviezel starred in the highest grossing (by far) genre entry, 2004’s The Passion of the Christ.

There is some competition for the same audience as the more contemporary Christian themed I Can Only Imagine will be in its sophomore weekend. A decent comp for Apostle could be 2016’s Risen, which earned $11.8 million for its beginning. I’ll put it a bit under that.

Paul, Apostle of Christ opening weekend prediction: $5.5 million
