“The R-rated pic scored the second-best start ever for faith-based distributor Pure Flix; tracking had suggested it would earn only around $3 million.
Graced with a coveted A+ CinemaScore, the controversial anti-abortion drama Unplanned opened to a strong $6.1 million from 1,059 theaters at the U.S. box office despite a relatively modest footprint.
The R-rated film — landing in fifth place — scored the second-biggest start ever for faith-based distributor Pure Flix behind God’s Not Dead 2 ($7.6 million). The Christian pic did its biggest business in the Midwest and South. . . .
‘We are thrilled, gratified and humbled,’ co-directors Cary Solomon and Chuck Konzelman said Sunday in a statement. ‘We are so pleased that the American people have responded with such an enormous outpouring of support at the box office. It humbles us and we look forward to seeing what happens in the weeks ahead.’
On Monday, Vice President Mike Pence gave the movie a thumbs-up of his own, tweeting, ‘So good to see movie theaters across the country showing @UnplannedMovie — a deeply inspiring new pro-life film based on the best-selling book by @AbbyJohnson. More & more Americans are embracing the sanctity of life because of powerful stories like this one. #Unplanned'” (Read more at The Hollywood Reporter.)

In our community several churches went together to buy out the theater for a one night showing March 27 and provided church members either free or minimal cost tickets. The theater was PACKED OUT totally and you could hear a pin drop. The abortionist had been a real abortionist having killed 1200 babies by his own statement then found the Lord or the Lord found him. Since then, he is fully pro-life. I pray that this film will stay and be seen by more impressionable audiences and ultimately cause Roe vs Wade to be cancelled as “the law of the land”.
I saw this powerful film twice, first with my mother. It was an amazing grace to see it together, because in 1971, my mother took me to an abortion clinic in New York City, when I was 16, taking a flight from Cincinnati, and this traumatic experience was something that God used to humble me and to bring me to Himself, since I felt such remorse and grief. Even though not coming from a practicing Christian family, I knew within my heart that this abortion had been a very evil deed. God rescued me from suicidal thoughts and actions, and for this I thank God how an unborn child brought salvation to me and to my mother. Lord, please bring a deeper healing to my mother and I, so that we are able to unashamedly speak out for the unborn and to proclaim Your amazing grace towards anyone who repents of their sins. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
This movie is the battering ram to force Americans to deal with the lies and deceptions which promote abortion.
Lord, I pray and declare and decree that Roe vs. Wade will be overturned .
I believe ‘Unplanned’ is one of the tools that God is using.
Take your teens to see this movie…talk to them about the “rights” of all people (men and women) to have “control” of their bodies and to make choices…how God commands us to assume responsibility for our bodily acts and our will…which all begins before having sex, when we have only responsibility for ourselves…after the act, when we have conceived, our choices now include another person who faces life or death depending upon parental “choice”…this unborn baby cannot cry out and demand a chance to live. What shall we call the act of abortion? It is the withdrawal of rights…the unborn’s right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as an individual. Don’t be deceived by our society, a woman’s (and man’s) bodily rights to choose reach far beyond a sexual act and a choice to abort a child. They include our responsibility to God, ourselves, our family and a life or death future for that baby. Our choices influence others, even to other generations. Face the fact, God’s moral code protects us all; it helps us embrace discipline, responsibility and a type of thinking that grows us and supports God’s laws of LOVE.
Excellent movie in revealing truth about what abortion really is, who Planned Parenthood really is and the beautiful redemption available to all who’ve been wounded by abortion. Every person needs to see this movie. Parents please take your pre-teens and teens to see this movie so they will know the truth about abortion and prayerfully be moved to stand up for the unborn now and as their generation moves into the leadership roles in our nation. May the Lord use this movie to bring an end to abortion in our nation and around the world. Thank you to Abby Johnson and the producers for the visual truth of the attack on the unborn. May God have mercy upon our nation, and may each of us rise up to be a bold and courageous voice for the unborn.

I praise God for “Unplanned.”. This movie is a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth. There is breakthrough revelation resting upon it. The American people will know the truth and the truth will set them free.

Haven’t seen the movie yet but plan on seeing it. May God open eyes and ears and hearts and minds to Him and His will. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Excellent movie. I’m praying great and mighty things will come from the power of God working through this movie.

Saw the movie with a dear friend last evening. So glad we could cry together at the difficult places. The impact of those that have prayed for those going to Planned Parenthood to have abortions was so powerful. It is a testimony to never never never stop praying. As our Lord told his disciples. Oh Lord forgive us as your people remove this horror from our Land. I can only say Amen to all the comments read. One will never be the same after seeing Unplanned.

I went with my daughter to see the movie. After the movie was over, we cried together. It brought up a lot of pain the two of us had faced when she was pregnant at 19, and had scheduled an abortion. She decided she couldn’t go through with it when she remembered what it says in Psalm 139. What I had not known until we saw the movie, is how forcefully the father of the baby had pushed her to get an abortion. Also all her friends told her that would be the best thing to do. It is a movie that all young people should see. The lies, and greed behind Planned Parenthood is is exposed.I am praying for the Lord to heal the women who were forced into a situation they did not want, and for the healing of our country, because we have allowed this. Isaiah 59:3 Our hands are stained with blood, our fingers with guilt.

I saw it on opening day. It was very well done. It was difficult to watch in places, but I was inspired by the hope and redemption portrayed. Thank you Pure Flix for doing this project. Thank you Abby Johnson for telling your story. May God’s grace and favor be on all who sacrificed to make this movie possible. Special kuddos to Robia Scott. She did an excellent job playing the role of clinic director. I’m sure it was difficult to do.

I saw the movie at the first showing at my local theater. It was sold out and every seat full. It deserves many accolades on many levels. Yes it’s hard to see the truth of the reality of abortion but something everyone should know.
God bless everyone that made this possible.

I saw this movie on opening day. It was accurate, compassionate, compelling, and revealing. Please bring your friends and family who are lukewarm when it comes to this subject. I thank those who poured their lives into making this film. May your days be full of Gods’ fullness and may we finally see the end to abortion worldwide. May many turn to God and commit their lives and may many find His forgiveness and their salvation through this film.
Very well said! I agree completely! May all who see it be blessed… and may they also BE a blessing!

The movie was incredibly powerful and some scenes were quite graphic. I think this is needed to awaken people to what a woman’s “choice” really is. A man sitting next to me was crying and one woman had to leave her seat and go sit in the aisle receiving comfort from a friend. In addition to praying for the truth about abortion and Planned Parenthood to come out, I’m especially praying for the Lord to bring repentance and then healing to thousands of women who have had abortions. May they come to the cross to receive cleansing in the blood of Jesus.

I am a Pro Life Christian and will never be the same after seeing this movie … made me pray more and that the eyes and hearts of all people would be opened to morally and Biblically wrong issues!!
I’ve always been pro life! Haven’t seen the movie & know I wouldn’t be able to stomach it cause I love infants, babies of all kinds, young kids, & older ones. God created everyone in His own image for a special purpose. Even those born with challenges. So glad this movie is making a difference in the lives of so many people. May it continue to open the eyes of those whose eyes still need to see the truth! And that they may come to realize that all babies have a right to life!

I have not seen the movie but have read Abby Johnson’s book. I’m very thankful the movie is having success and pray it continues to do so. Praying for seeds to be planted in the hearts and spirits of the viewers. Praying for the modern alters of Baal and Molach to be torn down.
I am pro life ..period .. but this movie touches the soul and compels the heart to SEE AND EXPERIENCE THE GRAVITY OF THIS HORROR! It also reveals the deep anguish of women who have made this choice. I entered their grief. I wept for them but I rejoiced in the Redemptive Hand of God through prayer and repentance ! I will never be the same. He will Reign!
I totally agree. I didn’t know if I could make it through. I had to put my head down between my knees because I was feeling like Iwas going to pass out. What a powerful, life changing movie.

I went with a few women to see Unplanned and we were deeply moved. The movie was so well done, well-acted, and realistic. I was undone by the reality of what goes on behind the doors of Planned Parenthood – the sales tactics, the lying to “patients”, the blunt reality of what abortion actually is. This movie will give a true image of what people are voting for when they have the chance to vote pro-choice vs pro-life. Seeing what abortion does to the mothers 😭. It was worth watching, and moved my heart in so many good ways I will never be the same. I believe this movie has singlehandedly impacted me more than anything I’ve ever heard or seen related to abortion and the fight for life.
I second Aubrey’s comment. We saw the movie Saturday evening. There was an individual in front of the multi-screen theater promoting “Unplanned”. It was a powerful movie and certainly helped to unmask Planned Parenthood.

Lord, please confuse the strategy of the demonic realm against the birth of children. Make one lie prove another wrong until they kill each other and fall to the ground, in Jesus name, Amen.
Amen 🙏 I

#Unplanned better than planned!
They tried to silence her voice, removed her posts, refused to sell her ads…She started opening weekend with a meager 3k twitter followers…by the end topped 200k!
United we stand.
Moral Majority be silent no more. Rise up and roar.
Went with husband and 15 year old son. Very well done.
Yes, a few scenes were difficult, but they MOVED us. I think the greatest impact was on my son. He went into the movie thinking anyone who has a abortion to be pure evil…came out with a better understanding of how a young girl could be alone and scared.
Also, the mans role in the “situation “, which is largely ignored today.
I would love to see youth groups around the county going to see it…as well as some friends who believe in the “ woman’s right to choose”.
I saw this movie on Sunday. It is powerful, compelling and impactful and should be seen by everyone, in my opinion, particularly those in their teens. As for the R rating, there are worse PG 13’s out there.
Lord God Almighty I ask that all who see this movie will see and understand the truth of it. Bring healing to those who have taken that course and have suffered from their decision and actions. Have mercy Oh Lord on those who are blinded as Abby was and bring revelation to them in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen
I saw this film on Saturday. It does not deserve the R rating in my opinion. Although hard to watch in places, it is very discreetly, modestly done. Parents and youth ministers of teenagers should take their teens to see it. Truth is told and it is a true story!
