What gives? Faith and religion used to be the kiss of box office death. Now, as many other box office certainties fall, the film “I Can Only Imagine” has picked up pretty solid box office numbers, coming in second only to “Black Panther” and “Tomb Raider” in its first week of release. “Other recent successes include Heaven Is for Real, the story of a boy who briefly dies, which grossed $91m in the US. Fireproof, about a porn-addicted fireman, made $33m from a $500,000 budget. God’s Not Dead, which follows a college student whose faith is challenged by a philosophy professor, made twice that.”
