The box office underwent a religious conversion this weekend as Christian crowds flocked to ?War Room,? lifting the low-budget salute to prayer above the Zac Efron drama ?We?re You?re Friends? and the Owen Wilson thriller ?No Escape.?
Filmed for a mere $3 million and distributed by Sony?s Affirm division, ?War Room? more than tripled its production budget in a single weekend, picking up $11 million from 1,135 locations.
