A Christian movie about the power of family took the second spot at the box office this past weekend.
Unsung Hero grossed over $7.7 million on its opening weekend at the theatres. The movie beat out Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. A movie featuring Zendaya called Challengers took the number one spot.
The movie portraying the difficulties the Smallbone family of 9 faced while uprooting themselves from Australia to the U.S. was showing in over 2,800 theatres across North America. Opening night was April 26, 2024.
"We’re on a mission to make mums, miracles and family the number one conversation in North America this weekend," said for King & Country on social media.
There were many cameos from family members themselves in Unsung Hero, including Rebecca St. James and Luke Smallbone. Country and Christian artist Hilary Scott made an appearance and Candace Cameron Bure played a role. Joel Smallbone, co-lead of for King & Country not only helped write and direct the movie, but he also starred as his father in the film.
"They protected us from the gravity of our circumstances, but they didn’t hide the fact that we were struggling," says for King & Country on Facebook. "Rather, they invited us to participate in finding a way through together- through prayer, and the small daily ways we could come together as a family to help each other."
