“The Blind”—the real-life story of Phil and Miss Kay Robertson and the “Duck Dynasty” family—has officially become the most successful film in Fathom Events history.
The movie, which hit theaters Sept. 28, has grossed nearly $16 million at the box office as of Monday, with the film being extended twice from its initial eight-day expected runtime, according to Deadline.
Perhaps most notably, the movie shattered the former Fathom record held by “The Chosen,” with episodes one and two of the third season raking in $14.6 million at the box office.
“From the beginning, we knew how special this film was, and we were eager to support it in the best way possible,” Ray Nutt, CEO of Fathom Events, told Deadline of “The Blind.” “Giving the film a longer theatrical run was a great decision for Fathom because of how important it was to bring this message to the fans.”
