David Film Beats SpongeBob Despite Showing in Fewer Cinemas
The faith-based film "David" outperformed the new SpongeBob movie at the box office despite being shown in significantly fewer cinemas across the country.
"David," which tells the biblical story of King David, achieved higher per-screen averages than the widely distributed SpongeBob SquarePants film, demonstrating strong audience demand for biblical content.
The film's success came despite the significant distribution disadvantage, with SpongeBob showing in hundreds more locations nationwide. Theatre owners and distributors typically allocate more screens to major studio releases from established franchises like SpongeBob, making the David film's performance particularly notable.
The results indicate continued appetite for faith-based films among moviegoers, with biblical stories drawing audiences even when competing against family entertainment from major studios with larger marketing budgets and distribution networks.
"David" joins other recent faith-based films that have exceeded box office expectations, suggesting the genre remains commercially viable despite often receiving limited theatrical releases compared to mainstream studio productions.
