Netflix recently added Jesus Revolution to its Top 5 list, adding another achievement to the already successful film’s portfolio.
The streaming service has ranked Jesus Revolution as the No. 4 most popular movie, two days after it launched on the platform and five months after it opened at No. 3.
California pastor Greg Laurie even mentioned on Instagram that he wants the film to accomplish even more.
He wrote, “Netflix has over 75 million subscribers. Let’s pray God uses this film to touch their hearts with the Gospel.”
Producer Andy Erwin said of Frisbee and Smith: “God just used them as nitroglycerin to kind of ignite a movement. And Chuck was one of the first people to let the hippies in the church.”
He mentioned in another post, “God is bringing revival. It’s happening guys, It’s bigger than one group or a movie. It started at Asbury and has spread to 28 college campuses now. No superstars. No one can take credit. It’s His church spreading the good news to the broken.”
Evidently, audiences have been deeply moved by its portrayal of the historical events and the spiritual awakening that swept through a generation, making it a cinematic triumph.
It follows the real-life story of hippie evangelist Lonnie Frisbee (Jonathan Roumie), who joins forces with strait-laced pastor Chuck Smith (Kelsey Grammer) to lead a group of hippies to Christ. The movement started a nationwide revival. One of those teens who came to Christ was Laurie (Joel Courtney).
Jesus Revolution grossed $52 million domestically and received an A+ CinemaScore grade from filmgoers. This is the first time a director has recorded four perfect marks. The co-director Jon Erwin received the perfect score for this film. Erwin’s previous A+ CinemaScores include Woodlawn (2015), I Can Only Imagine (2018), and American Underdog (2021).
