It was a successful opening weekend for Ordinary Angels.
The faith-based film shot in Winnipeg, starring Hilary Swank and Alan Ritchson, came in third place at the box office. It also managed to bring in over $ 6.1 million.
The movie also scored well, with the audience scoring 82% on the Tomatometer and a 99% audience score.
The film centres on Sharon Stevens (Hilary Swank), a fierce but struggling hairdresser in small-town Kentucky who discovers a renewed sense of purpose when she meets Ed Schmitt (Alan Ritchson), a widower working hard to make ends meet for his two daughters. With his youngest daughter waiting for a liver transplant, Sharon sets her mind to helping the family and will move mountains to do it. What unfolds is the inspiring tale of faith, everyday miracles, and ordinary angels.
"I was drawn to this beautiful true story because it’s such a powerful reminder that angels reside everywhere among us. And that faith, hope, grit and positivity are all powerful fuel for miracles. It’s also a story about the power of organ donation - something incredibly near and dear to my heart. I couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of this story and message,” said Hilary Swank.
Ordinary Angels hit over 3000 theatres on Feb. 23, 2024.
