Global Phenomenon Presented in Conjunction
with Angel Studios Grosses over $14.4
million in U.S. Box Office Making it Fathom's Best Performer
in Company History
DENVER, Dec. 5, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Angel Studio's The Chosen – the global phenomenon,
multi-episode television drama based on the life of Jesus – just
made history again with Fathom Events by becoming the
highest-grossing event in company history, selling over 1.2 million
tickets and grossing over $14.4
million at the U.S. box office.
The first two episodes of Season Three premiered on Friday, November 18, and placed second in gross
U.S. box office revenue for that day. It placed 3rd overall that
weekend and was subsequently extended to run until December 8, 2022.
"While we are unbelievably proud to see The Chosen become the
highest-grossing event in our company's history, we are equally
excited to have added 400+ theater exhibitor affiliates, including
international partners, to the Fathom Network to support this, and
future events, said Ray Nutt, CEO of
Fathom Events. This success proves that event cinema is not just to
fill gaps between blockbusters; it exists to provide premium
content to audiences who will return to theaters to have the big
screen experience."
"Angel has spent years building a dedicated audience around this
series, not just people who will watch but fans who will take
action. That audience turned out in force for this event, and we
plan to use this same tactic to launch numerous other Angel
Originals in theaters in the near future," said Jordan Harmon , President of Angel Studios.
The Chosen Season 3: Episode 1 & 2 surpasses Fathom's
previous highest-grossing event Christmas With The Chosen: The
Messengers, which is part of the same franchise. It was also
Fathom's first event with Angel Studios and grossed 14.2 million in
U.S. gross box office.
