The faith-based film “Jesus Revolution” continues to captivate audiences worldwide with its powerful message of redemption, hope and revival. The box office hit is now the top-selling movie on Amazon Prime.
The film soared to number one on the digital platform’s best seller chart just a few short weeks after earning a whopping $52 million in theaters.
“I think people are hungry in our nation spiritually,” Pastor Greg Laurie tweeted, noting the film’s position.
I think people are hungry in our nation spiritually. There are many indications of this across the board. One of them is the interest in this film about the last great spiritual awakening that swept our nation called the Jesus Movement. This story has been told in the film,… pic.twitter.com/uvXpj8eNCf

As CBN News reported, the movie tells the true story behind the Jesus Movement of the 1970s, including how Pastor Chuck Smith welcomed hippies at Calvary Chapel as they were looking for truth. That invitation helped to fuel one of the greatest spiritual awakenings in American history.
Greg and his wife Cathe Laurie were two of those young people who were welcomed by Smith. They were seekers who soon became part of the Jesus Movement and eventually went on to pastor Harvest Christian Fellowship.
Now they see signs of spiritual revival in America again.
“There are many indications of (hunger) across the board. One of them is the interest in this film about the last great spiritual awakening that swept our nation called the Jesus Movement. … I think a lot of people heard about this film in the theaters and want to see for themselves. I pray that many will come to Christ and have their faith revived watching @JesusRevMovie.”
The film opened at the box office at the No. 3 spot and remained in the top 10 for several weeks.
