This is really good news – the “Unplanned” pro-life movie got very good opening weekend receipts, despite having many setbacks from the liberal media and only being in a quarter of theaters as compared to others.
Unplanned is surprising!

3 million so far... let’s see what happens after today and tonight. YOU are awesome for making this movement of a movie a “surprise” hit at the box office! ~@RobiaMinistries#movie #newreleases #movies #hollywood #TruthMatters #changeiscoming #robia pic.twitter.com/VKArCl20WE
Pure Flix’s anti-abortion drama Unplanned (review) overperformed this weekend. Written and directed by Cary Solomon and Chuck Konzelman, the $6 million-budgeted flick, about a former Planned Parenthood clinic director turned anti-abortion activist, earned $2.72 million on Friday, setting the stage for a likely $7.25 million debut weekend. If that holds up, then it’ll be PureFlix’s second-biggest opening weekend behind the $7.6 million launch of God’s Not Dead 2 three years ago this weekend. That sequel earned $20 million domestic so we could see a similar result for the Abby Johnson biopic. That would be a big win, since most of the faith-based biggies still come from Sony and Lionsgate as opposed to the various small-scale distributors.
That’s awesome.
Earlier we posted that their twitter account was shut down on opening weekend – it was later reinstated.
Also there’s this:
The movie Unplanned gets an R rating for depicting an abortion.

Would a movie get an R rating for showing a gallbladder surgery?
No?
But I thought abortion is just a normal medical procedure?
I’ve seen negative reviews of @UnplannedMovie excoriating the movie for showing the worst of Planned Parenthood, but maybe that’s because PP is the worst. None of the reviews actually argues that the depiction is untrue, which is what I find tragic and honest.
