The faith-based biographical film The Hiding Place has been extended in theaters after debuting in the Top 10 and playing to large crowds on opening night.
The film, which tells the well-known story of Corrie ten Boom, will play again in theaters on Aug. 9 (Wednesday) and likely through the beginning of next week, according to a news release from the companies behind it. It finished in the Top 10 on opening night, Aug. 3, and had an encore showing on Aug. 5.
The project is a film adaptation of a stage play.
“We believe the ten Boom’s story is one that deserves to be told for a new generation and are thrilled to see audiences respond favorably to it,” said A. S. Peterson, playwright and artistic director of Rabbit Room Theatre. “We hope filmgoers won’t miss the opportunity to be encouraged by this true story of a family who put aside their own comfort and safety to courageously do what was right in the face of unthinkable evil.”
The film was produced by Rabbit Room Theatre, Matt Logan Productions and MA2LA in partnership with Trafalgar Releasing. Matt Logan directed it.
It was based on the bestselling book and follows the story of the ten Boom family, who were members of the Dutch Reformed Church and opposed the Nazi occupation of Europe. They hid Jewish people in their home to protect them from the Nazi officials and the Holocaust.
“We are thrilled our cinema partners are holding this over and giving moviegoers a chance to see this new theatrical production of the best-selling memoir, The Hiding Place,” said Kymberli Frueh, senior vice president for programming and content acquisitions for Trafalgar Releasing. “The response has been overwhelmingly positive, and we are grateful that more fans will get to see this very important and inspirational work.”
