Ticket Sales for "The Last Supper" Take a Tumble

The third weekend in release sees the faith-based film lose nearly 80% of its revenue compared to a week earlier.

The Last Supper earned an estimated $295,000 in North American box office revenue from Friday through Sunday, according to The Numbers website, down 78% from the previous weekend, which put the picture in 18th place overall. The big drop is largely due to a loss of theaters - from 1,575 to 837 - and the theatrical release of Season 5 of The Chosen, which also features the Last Supper and final days before the Crucifixion of Christ and drummed up more than $11 million.

This movie is from faith-based studio Pinnacle Peak Pictures, stars Australian actor Jamie Ward in the role of the Savior, and is executive produced by Christian music star Chris Tomlin. The Last Supper has now been on the silver screen for 17 days and has brought in more than $6.2 million in total revenue.
