The faith based film, ‘I Can Only Imagine’ moves into its fourth week in theaters, and is still making an impact on hearts and culture everywhere.
The movie based on MercyMe’s lead singer, Bart Millard’s true life story, has topped $55 million at the Box Office since its release according to reports.
It was released March 16, 2018, and still remains in the Top 4.
It’s a song, and story, that remains relevant today.
The movie, which addresses the relationship of songwriter Bart Millard and his father and the inspiration for the hit song of the same name, now ranks 11th all-time in the Christian movie genre.
It’s the song that brings ultimate hope to so many … often in the midst of life’s most challenging moments. Amazingly, the song was written in mere minutes by Millard. In reality, those lyrics took a lifetime to craft.
Although he found faith at a young age, life wasn’t easy for Bart. He leaned into an active imagination and his love of music as escapes from a troubled home life. As he grew older, Bart turned to football in hopes of somehow connecting with his abusive father. But a career-ending injury—combined with the vision of a teacher who saw unlimited potential—set Bart on a musical pathway.
Chasing a dream while running from broken relationships with his father and Shannon, his childhood sweetheart, Bart hits the road in an old, decrepit tour bus with his new band MercyMe—named for his grandmother’s favorite expression.
