“For Greater Glory,” the current film about the persecution of the Catholic Church in Mexico in the 1920s, earned more than $1.8 million on only 757 screens over its opening weekend – good enough for the No. 10 spot in overall box office for all films in release.  And it finished at No. 5 in per-screen average among the top 10!
Archbishop José H. Gomez of Los Angeles, hosted the red-carpet premiere of the film last week, and the event drew significant media attention.
