CSMonitor.com: The movie "Heaven is for Real," which depicts the story of a young boy who claims to have visited heaven during a near-death experience, is the fourth faith-based film this year to stir movie-going audiences with impressive box office numbers.
Made for $12 million, the film, which stars Greg Kinnear, collected $21.5 million over the Easter weekend in U.S. and Canadian theaters, finishing third at the box office behind bigger budget films "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" from Walt Disney and "Rio 2" from Fox.

Its a really interesting trend considering religion hasn't been the most popular of topics in recent years. I feel like it is going to continue to prove to be a lucrative business, not only because there is large number of people eager to see their religion represent on film, but also they spark great conversations and controversies. There was a great article a few weeks ago about the biblical accuracy of Noah and how it different the modern perception of the story is from how it was originally written.
