The Christian drama “War Room,” by filmmakers Alex and Stephen Kendrick, earned $11 million in its box-office debut over the weekend despite playing in only 1,135 theaters. It was placed No. 2 behind “Straight Outta Compton,” which earned $13.2 million, but after playing in 3,142 locations.
The faith-based film on the power of prayer, which hit theaters Friday, marks the highest debut for the Kendrick brothers with $11 million, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The N.W.A saga “Straight Outta Compton” remained at the No. 1 spot for the third consecutive weekend. However, “War Room” averaged $9,360 in 1,135 theaters, as compared to $4,125 for “Straight Outta Compton” from 3,142 locations, according to The Warp.
“War Room,” which is rated PG and stars T.C. Stallings, Priscilla Shirer and Karen Abercrombie, is a compelling faith drama that explores the power that prayer can have on marriages, parenting, careers, friendships and every other area of life both physically and spiritually.
It’s the Georgia-based duo’s first film that features African-Americans in the leading roles.
“When we started writing out the plot, it occurred to us that this movie would be more powerful or passionate as told from an African-American perspective,” the Reporter quoted Alex Kendrick as saying. “The African-American church is more visceral, they are more expressive and there is a powerful passion to their prayers.”

A powerful film. Everyone should go and see it. Look for the SEE YOU AT THE POLE scene.
