Trailer for ‘Breakthrough’ Breaks Records with 40 Million Views in One Week

Published

The trailer for the forthcoming faith-based film “Breakthrough” broke records with a staggering 40 million views in one week, highlighting God’s power, producer DeVon Franklin has said.

Starring Chrissy Metz of This is Us, “Breakthrough” tells the real-life story of Joyce and John Smith. When John, Joyce’s adopted son, falls through the ice into the freezing waters of a Missouri lake, it seems that all hope is lost. As John lay without any signs of life in excess of an hour, his mother began to fervently pray for any miracle. Miraculously, John’s heart starts to beat again, astounding everyone present and defying every scientific prediction. Mere days after the accident, John walked away from the hospital, fully healed.

Franklin, a bestselling author, pastor, and President/CEO of Franklin Entertainment, told The Gospel Herald that within days of its release, the trailer for “Breakthrough” garnered a staggering 40 million views, making it the most successful trailer launch of a faith-based film ever.

“It’s unprecedented,” Franklin said. “It’s just a testament to God’s power and proof that people are hungry for hope and inspiration. Beyond a great story, this film is a great entertainment experience that everyone will enjoy.”

He signed on to produce “Breakthrough” after hearing the Smith’s story while promoting his previous film, “Miracles from Heaven.” He was drawn to the story because it’s a “love letter to the power of prayer and the power of community.”

“Before the accident, John always struggled with his identity,” he shared. “It really reaffirmed for him that he is loved by God, he does have a place in this world, and that God does have a plan for his life.”

The theme of identity is woven throughout the film, Franklin said, and is evident not just in John’s life, but Joyce’s, too.

“Joyce is incredibly headstrong and a force of nature, but she also has to come to a moment where she has to really go deep inside herself to figure out who she really is,” he explained. “There’s a moment in the film which I won’t ruin where she goes before God with questions related to her identity. It’s truly one of the most powerful moments in the film.”

The film also drives home the importance of choosing faith over fear, Franklin said, adding: “This true story is striking a really strong chord with people because they want hope and inspiration, and they also want to be reminded that God is still in the miracle-working business.”

And while the Smith family’s story is rooted in faith, it resonates with both Christian and secular audiences. Franklin told GH that at an advanced screening for the film, one viewer who doesn’t profess any particular faith “cried all the way through the film.”

“They said it was the most moving film they’d ever seen, even though they weren’t a Christian,” Franklin shared. “The reason it resonates with everyone is simply that it’s a great story. At the end of the day, we’re all human, and we are all God’s children.”

“This movie really humanizes the struggle of what happens when life hits us unexpectedly, and how do we make it through,” he continued. “It’s in our toughest moments that we realize that we need others in order to make it through.”

“He was blown away by the story,” he shared. “We have an all-star team on this film, between Curry and Rev. Sam Rodriguez, who is also my friend.”

“Breakthrough” also stars Marcel Ruiz, Mike Colter , and Topher Grace. The film is slated to hit movie screens April 12, 2019.

Rock Star Pauses Show to Call Out Culture’s Lies, Tell Audience ‘Jesus Christ Loves You’

Published

on

Brad Arnold, the lead singer of the rock band 3 Doors Down, caught attention this month for powerful comments he made about Jesus and faith during a concert at Hersheypark Stadium in Pennsylvania.

Before belting out the band’s song “Away From the Sun” at the show on Aug. 23, Arnold told the audience he started feeling compelled two years ago to share an important message with fans during his performances.

He then asked for just a few moments to tell the thousands gathered that God loves them, according to PennLive.com. It was a truly moving monologue.

“I feel like I can identify with this song more than most of our songs,” he said, calling “Away From the Sun” his favorite of the band’s ballads. “This world surrounds by a message we’ll never be good enough, we’ll never be strong enough, we’ll never be beautiful enough, we’ll never be rich enough.”

Arnold wasn’t done there, calling out a “lie” he believes is perpetuated on social media and in other facets of life: that we’ll never be truly loved and that we’ll never “win.”

“My friends, I just want to take a second to tell you — that’s an absolute lie,” he said. “You are loved. You are enough, and you will win. Not only can you win, but you will win. You’ll always be enough for one reason, and that’s because Jesus Christ loves you.”

Despite the daily failures and struggles each person faces, Arnold said each individual is still deeply loved by God. He then proclaimed, “Repeat after me: I am the one that Jesus loves.”

These proclamations were met with cheers and claps, with the audience repeating his words.

Other online videos and posts show Arnold is no stranger to sharing his faith on stage, with the singer offering similar statements during other 3 Doors Down shows.

“Many prayers for all the kids headed back school,” he wrote in a recent Instagram post, sharing an image with text from Deuteronomy 31:6. The verse reads, “The Lord your God goes with you.”

‘The Chosen’ Christmas Movie Breaks More Records for the Series Even Before Its Release

Published

on

The world’s number one crowd funding series ‘The Chosen’ began sales for its Christmas special on the birth of Jesus.

It’s the first of the series franchise to go to the big screen. It will play nationwide via Fathom Events.

Tickets were first offered during a livestream Tuesday night from series Creator, Writer and Director, Dallas Jenkins. Following the live stream, tickets are still available at Fathom Events’ website.

Demand was so great producers and event planners had to expand their reach.

Christmas With The Chosen: The Messengers broke Fathom Events’ record with $1.5 million in sales in the first 12 hours,” said Ray Nutt, CEO of Fathom Events.

“Originally slated to premiere in 1079 theaters, we’ve already added 450+ locations and thousands of screens to satisfy demand, and anticipate these numbers will continue to grow,” he continued.

Nutt says he expects the movie to be the biggest hit of the season.

“‘Christmas With The Chosen: The Messengers will be the Christmas event of 2021, and we are elated to bring it to the big screen so it may be seen by audiences nationwide,” said Fathom CEO Nutt.

“When we decided to do a special Christmas episode, we knew it would be the ideal moment to get this on the big screen,” said Dallas Jenkins. “It’s the first chance Chosen fans have had to gather all over the country, so we intend to make it worth it. And with all the incredible musicians assembled, this is a perfect event for inviting friends.”

Some of those Christian artists and groups include Phil Wickham, Maverick City Music, For King and Country, Brandon Lake, Cain, Leanna Crawford, Jordan Feliz, Matt Maher and more.

Shot entirely in secret, Christmas With The Chosen: The Messengers shows the birth of Christ through the eyes of Mary and Joseph and features actors from ‘The Chosen’ series including Austin Reed Alleman (Nathaniel), Giavani Cairo (Thaddeus), Luke Dimyan (Judas), Lara Silva (Eden).

Details for the opening on December 1 across the nation are at TheChosen.tv/Christmas.

‘The Chosen’ television series, produced by Loaves & Fishes Productions and distributed by Angel Studios, completed a second season earlier this year and remains the No.1 highest crowd-funded project ever.

Producers report it is consistantly ranked in the top 20 entertainment apps and has already been translated into 50 languages. It’s free to watch and is funded by viewers choosing to “pay it forward” after watching with a gift toward future seasons.
