Trivia

Important message

At the end of the head credits, Jim Caviezel delivers a "special message" to the theatre audience. In it he talks about how the kids in the story are the real heroes, and how the cast and crew believed in the movie so much that they hurdled various barriers to get into theatres (referencing the five year gap between the film being finished and it being released). At the end he urged movie goers to pull out their phones and use the website on screen to buy tickets for other people, urging that financial constraints should not limit people from seeing the movie.

Changes in production

The film was going to be distributed by 20th Century Fox but ended up shelving it when Disney bought the filming studio.

Very profitable

Outgrossed its budget within two days of release.
