'The Chosen' Christmas Movie Breaks Records Even Before Release
The world's No. 1 crowdfunded series, The Chosen, has begun sales for its Christmas special on the birth of Jesus.
It's the first of the series franchise to go to the big screen. It will play nationwide via Fathom Events.
Tickets were first offered during a livestream Tuesday night from series creator, writer and director Dallas Jenkins. Following the livestream, tickets are still available at Fathom Events' website.
Demand was so great producers and event planners had to expand their reach.
Christmas With The Chosen: The Messengers broke Fathom Events' record with $1.5 million in sales in the first 12 hours," said Ray Nutt, CEO of Fathom Events.
"Originally slated to premiere in 1079 theaters, we've already added 450+ locations and thousands of screens to satisfy demand, and anticipate these numbers will continue to grow," he continued.
