HOLLYWOOD—March 24, 2016—Scoring a rare A+ CinemaScore and drawing a remarkable $18.3 million in the first five days of release at the box office, MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN, the movie awakening audiences to everyday wonder, debuted this weekend in more than 3,000 theaters.

Starring Jennifer Garner, MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN is delighting both audiences and critics. “A story from the heart to the heart,” CBN’s Efrem Graham writes. “A heartrending, faith-affirming drama,”Movieguide’s  Dr. Ted Baehr proclaims, “an uplifting postcard from God.”  The Examiner’s Cheryl Wicker simply calls it, “Astonishing.”  “The inspirational movie of the year” says Faith Based Consumer.

“Believers in a loving merciful God will be affirmed,” Colleen Gerke, president of the National Association of Catholic Family Life Ministers, said.

“I left the movie feeling inspired with the hope of Heaven, assured of the goodness of God and filled with a renewed passion for my faith,” Pastor Mike Johnson of Fellowship Church, Dallas, said.

“Audiences come thinking they need a miracle, and leave with new eyes for miracles all around them,” says Producer DeVon Franklin, head of Franklin Entertainment. “In time for Easter, MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN is about new life, new awareness, a new wave of gratitude.”

AFFIRM Senior Vice President Rich Peluso calls MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN’s first-weekend reception “An incredible testimony of the power of the Beam family story and the hard work of our director, producers and world-class marketing team,” and celebrates the Sony division’s fourth A+ CinemaScore (SOUL SURFER, COURAGEOUS, WAR ROOM and now MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN). “That score ranks MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN with luminous films such as FINDING NEMO, WHEN HARRY MET SALLY, THE KING’S SPEECH, AND THE BLINDSIDE,” Peluso said.
