“Unplanned,” which was released in theaters on March 29, has pulled in more than 8.6 million dollars in North America, according to Box Office Mojo.
Building on its early buzz, “Unplanned” is to be shown in more than 1,500 theaters across the United States this weekend, up from 1,059 the weekend of its release.Produced by the self-described Christian studio Pure Flix, “Unplanned” was launched with little advertising because most cable TV channels reportedly refused to air ads for the film.
An “R” rating requires anyone under the age of 17 going to a movie to be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian. “Unplanned” is based on a book by the same name by Abby Johnson, a former director of an abortion clinic in Bryan, Texas, run by Planned Parenthood, the largest family planning organization in the United States.
“‘Unplanned’ preaches to the pro-life choir, and it does so by making a case against abortion that’s absolutist and extreme,” Gleiberman said.The movie’s co-director Cary Solomon shrugged off the criticism.
