When you make content for everyone, you can make lots and lots of money.....when you are left wing asshats, who try to smother anyone who disagrees with you...you go broke.
The Chosen: Season Three grossed $8.2 million over the weekend, which beat most of Hollywood’s Oscar bait, including She Said, which bombed this weekend with a pathetic $2.2 million opening.
For those who don’t know, The Chosen is a faith-based TV series about the life of Jesus Christ and is available to stream on the Angel Studios app. The series started as a crowdfunding enterprise and is co-written and directed by Dallas Jenkins. By 2021, viewers had contributed some $40 million to the show, which is now a bonafide ratings sensation with over 400 million views.
After producing eight episodes for season one and another eight for season two, the producers decided to release the first two episodes for season three in theaters. The box office returns again shocked bubbled Hollywood. It shouldn’t have. Last year, Christmas with the Chosen: The Messengers, which featured songs and music from the TV show, ended up grossing almost $14 million at the box office.
Who would have ever guessed a hundred million Christians would flock to watch a TV show that treats their faith with respect?

The Chosen didn’t just humiliate She Said. The Chosen’s opening weekend topped (or nearly topped) the total domestic box office for Oscar-bait titles like Till, Tar, The Banshees of Inirshin, Armageddon Time, and Triangle of Sadness.
