Bethany Hamilton: Unstoppable earned nearly $1,300 at the weekend box office, according to The Numbers, which is good enough for 60th place on the overall list. That brings the film's total revenue to $584,000, but it is unlikely to go much higher since it's playing in just six theaters and is sure to end its theatrical run in the very near future.


From director/cinematographer Aaron Lieber, the documentary charts Bethany Hamilton's incredible journey from the moment she lost an arm in a shark attack as a 13-year old to the present day when the 29-year old balances life as a professional surfer, wife and mother. Through it all, the strength of her faith is truly inspirational.
