Faith-Based 'War Room' Inspires at the Box Office
The Christian film "War Room" had a heavenly opening at the box office this weekend, while Zac Efron's latest didn't have a prayer.
Directed by Alex Kendrick, "War Room" was made for just about $3 million, but it's set to gross $11 million in its first weekend alone. The film, which espouses the power of prayer, was distributed by Sony's faith-driven Affirm division.
