Roadside Attractions has taken domestic distribution rights to Sight & Sound’s second movie, A Great Awakening, and set a theatrical release for April 3, 2026, Easter weekend.
The pic’s release is also timed to the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
The news comes in the wake of the faith-based entertainment company’s theatrical release of Noah, which opened to $1.5M at the Sept. 18-20 box office, landing in the top 10.
A Great Awakening follows the unlikely friendship between the Reverend George Whitefield and Benjamin Franklin. With the colonies on the brink of collapse, the Reverend George Whitefield ignites the first Great Awakening, uniting an entire generation with his thundering and faithful sermons and proclamations of liberty. In a miraculous turn of events, one of Whitefield’s closest friends and greatest promoters becomes none other than Benjamin Franklin. With the nation’s freedom hanging in the balance, the founders discover true liberty cannot only be written into law – it must be awakened in the hearts of the people.
