7. It’s no surprise that Hollywood is aiming films at religious crowds in a major way this
year,” said Phil Contrino, vice president and chief analyst at www.BoxOffice.com.
“Religious moviegoers are a very important part of the population, and they want to
see their beliefs and ideals represented in major Hollywood movies. It’s important for
Hollywood to really listen to what these crowds want and to not make assumptions.”
Hollywood already is seeing success at the box office:
• “Noah,” a big-budget epic starring Russell Crowe, opened this weekend at $44
million, making it the No. 1 movie in the country despite controversies about its
adherence to the biblical story.
• “Son of God,” the follow-up to the unexpectedly successful “The Bible” TV
miniseries, was produced on a $22 million budget and has earned $56 million since its
debut in late February, according to Box Office Mojo, a website that compiles ticket
sales.
• “God’s Not Dead,” a low-budget independent film, opened in only 800 theaters in
late March but made more than $8 million in its opening weekend. Earnings so far
have totaled $22 million.
A passel of other faith-based films are on the way.
“Heaven Is for Real,” based on the best-selling book about a child’s near-death
experience, is set to open this month.
“Exodus,” a big-budget movie starring Christian Bale is scheduled to hit theaters in
December.
A biopic about Mother Teresa also is in the works, as is “Mary, Mother of Christ,”
which is set for next year, according to Internet Movie Database.
Rhonda Burnette-Bletsch, a religion professor at Greensboro College in North
Carolina, said Hollywood “has evidently discovered Christians as a consumer
demographic,” but biblical stories have inspired filmmakers for years.
Year of the faith films:
Movies that tell stories of
religion doing well at the
box office

8. Christian Film
Demographics
THE HOTTEST THING IN FILM TODAY IS FAITH BASED!
THE LARGEST GROSSING FILMS OF ALL TIMES HAVE BEEN IN TWO GENRES.
Faith based films and Surfing films! Passion of the Christ and Point Break were their top selling
films of their time.
Both having unique built in audiences worldwide. In the US alone there are over 56Million
Christians. And 25 Million Surfers!
As we all know the film industry has changed dramatically in the past year alone film budgets
are dropping and independent producers are slamming out product to catch up to the ever
fierce demand for new titles with the revolution of online steaming.
K2TK is on it. What we are proposing is a year long venture. With an immediate release to
Theater, and pay per view, ( Ipad, Computer and Iphone TV ) lDVD at one time. We will hold the
owner ship upon release and when the tide pulls out we will sell the distribution rights.
Our plan is very simple> Pre-production/ Pre PR Begins – 12 weeks (3 months) Production 4
weeks ( 1 Month) Post Production 16 weeks ( 4 months) Release and PR 16 weeks ( 4months)
By cutting out the middle man the revenue steam comes directly to the escrow account
enabling the producers to pay you first before anyone else. ( IE : Distributors) Once the film has
reached its threshold on the first 6 weeks, we then and only then release it for distribution sales
with a reputable company. ( Netfilx, Hulu, Christian Cimema.com)

from $6.52 billion in 2004 to $7.48 billion in 2008 (an increase of 14.5%), is nowhere near slowing down.
Several Factors:
Mainstream popularity of the surf lifestyle
Capitalization on the purchasing power of women
Brand diversification
The entrenchment of the “surf” lifestyle in the US market
The X Games
Fuel TV
Network TV shows such as “Laguna Beach,”
are all helping to make surfing cool

10. KEYS TO THE KINGDOM
(K2TK)
SOCIAL NETWORK
One of Keys 2 the Kingdom’s primary objectives will be to tap into the Social networking
phenomenon by using cutting edge SEO (Search Engine Optimization) technology. We will link up to
the “big 4” through Google search queries and the new Google video search results.
There are 25 million surfers out there, this has generated a huge online culture and let’s face it
everyone wants to have a surfer for a friend.
Times they are a changin’ - 44% of moviegoers now learn about a film through the internet. Most
films are now considered critic-proof, especially among the younger set, with 84% of moviegoers
saying, "When they make up their mind to see a movie, it doesn't matter what the critics say about
it.“ (Source Variety)
Teens (age 13-17) are "all about sharing information and group thinking," the report said, with social
networking a critical communication tool. They go to movies in large groups and are heavily
influenced by their friends' opinions. They also prefer texting over having phone conversations. More
than 70% also surf the Web and text while watching TV, and 67% of them socialize with friends
online. (Source Variety)
Twenty something's (age 18-29) "are digital natives that have grown up with technology" and are
more likely to go online for movie info and to share what they think about movies via social networks
(58% socialize with friends online). They use the Internet to find any kind of information and place a
high value on online consumer reviews and sites that aggregate reviews. (Source Variety)
"Going to the movies is a good escape from everyday life." What better way to escape than a
tropical island with sick waves !!!!
