Animated David Makes Historic Box Office Splash

The animated film David has secured the second position at the North American box office during its opening weekend, establishing a new record for faith-based animated movies. The film garnered an impressive $22 million in its initial three-day run, released across more than 3,000 theaters.

David's performance surpassed previous faith-based animated films like 'The Prince of Egypt' and 'The King of Kings'. It also nearly matched the opening weekend collection of 'Sing 2', positioning it as the fifth biggest animation opening in December. The film's narrative centers on a young shepherd chosen to become king.

Released on December 19, David opened in theaters nationwide, positioning itself strongly against new releases. This success indicates a significant audience draw for faith-based storytelling within the animated genre, especially following the popular 'Young David' television miniseries.
