This is in contrast with most early estimates, which predicted an opening of less than $5mm.
A Sony Pictures released movie via its faith-based TriStar/AFFIRM Films label in partnership with Provident Films, WAR ROOM’s opening is the highest for a faith-based film this year and the highest opening for any faith-based film since last year’s HEAVEN IS FOR REAL (Sony/TriStar).
