The initial wave of faith-based movies – those medium-to-low budget dramas boosted by Evangelical word of mouth – diminished quickly in the wake of 2014’s expert-defying God’s Not Dead (budget: £1.5m, take: £45m). The studios swiftly entered the temple, and while that same year’s Heaven is for Real boasted a modicum of cinematic nous, few claims could be made for last year’s Miracles from Heaven, or indeed the inevitable God’s Not Dead 2 (budget: £3.8m, take: £15m), which existed merely to underline how its predecessor was box-office lightning in a bottle. Religion and commerce remained uneasy bedfellows.
