Angel Studios finds itself in a rare golden moment as its faith-based animated film, David<\/a>, shakes the crowded box office with a force that many did not expect in such a tight release window. The film arrived on the same day as James Cameron\u2019s Avatar: Fire and Ash<\/a> and still climbed to the second position in the domestic box office chart in the US, carrying a surprising power that feels bold and confident from the very first day.<\/p>\n David Box Office Performance: Outperforms Competing Releases<\/p>\n The film earned $9.6 million on its opening day, per Box Office Mojo<\/a>, on Friday from 3,118 theaters, pulling a strong $3,098 per screen, and the mood around it feels electric. This haul stood above other fresh releases of the day. Sydney Sweeney\u2019s The Housemaid took $8 million, while The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants brought in only $6 million. David also outperformed powerful holdovers. Zootopia 2<\/a> earned $4 million on Friday, Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s 2 collected $2.2 million, and Ariana Grande\u2019s Wicked: For Good added only $1.2 million.<\/p>\n Historic Opening For Faith-Based Animation<\/p>\n The story for David grows stronger with early milestones. David already pulled $1.8 million from Thursday previews, and its $9.7 million Friday total marks the biggest opening day ever for a faith-based animated film. It topped The Prince of Egypt, which recorded $4.3 million, and The King of Kings $7 million, on their respective opening days. It even\u00a0surpassed mainstream animated titles like The Princess and the Frog, which earned\u00a0$7 million, and Sing 2, which grossed\u00a0$8.1 million. With this, David becomes the 3rd highest animated opening ever released in December, staying only behind Sing with $11 million and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse with $12.7 million.<\/p>\n Weekend Projections Signal Record-Breaking Success<\/p>\n The weekend projections of David range between $24 million and $29 million, placing it on track to secure one of the strongest December animated weekends ever.<\/p>\n David is all poised to rewrite records for faith-based animations and make an impressive mark among all December releases. The film\u2019s combination of strong storytelling, audience approval, and timing is turning it into a holiday season contender that few expected.<\/p>\n Note: Box office numbers are based on estimates and various sources.
