Its fifth weekend in release saw The Forge finish in 11th place in overall ticket revenue, according to The Numbers website, bringing in more than $1.2 million from Friday through Sunday. That is down nearly 40% from the previous weekend when the picture earned north of $2 million and claimed ninth place (its fourth consecutive finish in the weekend Top-10).

After 31 days in theaters, this production from Christian filmmakers Alex and Stephen Kendrick has generated more than $26.3 million in North American box office revenue. Starring Priscilla Shirer, Karen Abercrombie, and Cameron Arnett - all outspoken Believers - the movie focuses on the issue of discipleship, with the latter actor playing a successful businessman who takes younger men under his wing, providing spiritual counsel and general mentoring.
