Christian Film "THE FORGE" Awarded an A+ By CinemaScore
THE FORGE was awarded an A+ CinemaScore, making it the fifth in the Kendrick Brothers library, AFFIRM Films announces. This incredible achievement makes history as the fourth for Alex Kendrick as a director. The film delivered a solid opening weekend, landing in the top five and closing the weekend with $6.635M in just over 1,800 locations.
THE FORGE builds on the cinematic world inspired by the Kendrick Brothers' 2015 box office hit WAR ROOM which reached the #1 position in its second weekend, and is being hailed as their "most polished work" to date.
"THE FORGE's thousands of positive reviews speak to the appeal of this film," said Rich Peluso, EVP/Head of AFFIRM Films. "Alex and Stephen Kendrick are uniquely gifted in knowing how to connect with their audience."
THE FORGE tells the story of Isaiah Wright, a 19 year old who lives for basketball and video games. A year out of high school, he still has no job, no plans, and no idea how to be a man. At odds with his single mom, Cynthia, Isaiah is given an ultimatum - to step up or move out. Feeling the pull from his friends and the push from his mom, Isaiah is hired by Moore Fitness, but has no idea how the owner will personally impact his life. With the prayers of his mother and prayer warrior Miss Clara, and unexpected guidance from his new mentor, Isaiah is forced to deal with his past, sacrifice his selfishness and discover how God might have a greater purpose for his life.
The cast of THE FORGE includes familiar faces such as Priscilla Shirer (WAR ROOM, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE), Cameron Arnett (OVERCOMER, STAND YOUR GROUND), Karen Abercrombie (WAR ROOM, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3) and newcomer Aspen Kennedy.
THE FORGE is directed by Alex Kendrick (WAR ROOM) and produced by Stephen Kendrick (WAR ROOM), and written by Alex & Stephen Kendrick.
The Kendricks' previous films SHOW ME THE FATHER, COURAGEOUS, WAR ROOM and OVERCOMER were also awarded A+ CinemaScores.
