Roadside Attractions/Lionsgate Film on I Can Only Imagine Release Today

LOS ANGELES, CA (March 16, 2018) – Roadside Attractions/Lionsgate Film’s I Can Only Imagine is off to a strong start with an estimated $1.3m in previews thru Thursday night at 1,392 locations. The film will play this weekend at 1,628 locations.  We will have additional information on the film’s performance on Sunday morning.

I Can Only Imagine is the fourth feature for the Erwin Brothers, whose previous films included October Baby, Moms’ Night Out and Woodlawn. The film was written by Jon Erwin & Brent McCorkle from a story by Jon Erwin & Brent McCorkle. I Can Only Imagine was produced by Kevin Downes, Cindy Bond, Daryl Lefever, Mickey Liddell, and Pete Shilaimon. Travis Mann, Tony Young, Scott Brickell and Simon Swart served as executive producers.

The film features an all-star cast including Golden-Globe® nominee Dennis Quaid (The Day After Tomorrow, The Rookie, Soul Surfer), Oscar®-winner Cloris Leachman (The Iron Giant, The Last Picture Show, Young Frankenstein), platinum-selling country music legend Trace Adkins, author and actress Priscilla Shirer (War Room), Madeline Carroll (Mr. Poppers Penguins) and Broadway’s J. Michael Finley (“Les Miserables”).

I Can Only Imagine brings to life the true story behind the song of ultimate hope, “I Can Only Imagine.” A transformed relationship with his troubled father inspired Bart Millard, the lead singer of the Christian band MercyMe, to write what is now the most-played radio single in Christian music history. A gripping reminder of the power of forgiveness,  I Can Only Imagine beautifully illustrates that no one is ever too far from God’s love — or from an eternal home in heaven.

Releasing on DVD February 20th – Steve McQueen: American Icon

The specially priced DVD will be available in stores on February 20. Preorder now through Walmart or Amazon. Every DVD purchased puts a Bible in the hands of a new believer!

Steve McQueen truly is an American Icon. One of America’s most endearing and intriguing movie stars, he “is still the King of Cool” according to EsquireMagazine—50 years after the zenith of his career! The coolest thing about him, however, is barely known, despite countless biographies and articles.

Steve McQueen was a believer in Jesus Christ.

On the surface McQueen had everything he could want—fame, cars, homes, more money than he could spend in a lifetime. An avid fan of the actor (and owner of a replica of McQueen’s car in the classic film Bullitt), Pastor Greg Laurie hits the road in his mint Mustang, traveling the country in search of the true, untold story of McQueen’s redemption-filled final chapters.

Narrated by Gary Sinise, interviews include:

  • Barbara Minty McQueen, his widow
  • Academy Award®-winning director Mel Gibson
  • Renown stuntman Stan Barrett
  • Celebrated McQueen biographer Marshall Terrill
  • Actors Barbara Leigh and Mel Novak

Discover this amazing, true faith journey in STEVE MCQUEEN: AMERICAN ICON, coming soon to DVD and Digital. Don’t miss out!
