How come the only Jewish theater owner in 4 counties played the major religious film release in a decade? What'd I care, no one was showing up for my first run art films, why not play religious films.
Surpised me beyond belief when the film sold out for six weeks, not surprising to the churches who had no choice but to either go to Orlando, 50 miles away and pay twice the admission, or see it right here in their own backyard. I didn't know it, but I had an exlusive for over six counties in Central Florida and people were making reservations. They also were blessing me after each performance and wanted me to testify.
There were people crying and praying, and blessing each other, and I was moved by the film, but it was just another film for me.
The Church group who rented from me had persuaded me to get the film and this was a coupe for him and his faith. That film lasted 10 weeks.
