Sign up for Christian Movie Central Emails:
PASTORS AND LEADERS are highly encouraged to sign up for the Pastors & Leaders list – there are at least 2 films expected to have advanced screenings available. See the film, so you can share first hand your thoughts with your churches or organizations.
Welcome to the 2024 home of Christian Movie Central, listing films playing in theaters either in full-run (week to week based on attendance) or limited run (one to several days)
Our focus here is for national runs. If a film is showing only in a local or regional basis (perhaps where it was filmed) that information will be limited to the local CMC pages on Facebook (We are also hoping to Beta launch a smartphone app in mid to late 2024!).
Due to recent surgery, I have had limited time, and rather than commit to having links to each individual film review at MovieGuide, PluggedIn, or Dove, I recommend you search these great sites for content-related reviews for the films’ names you are looking for. Thank you for understanding.
NOW PLAYING / NEXT FEW UP:
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
Now Playing
The Herdman kids are absolutely the worst. They lie, they steal, they bully…and they’ve hijacked the town Christmas pageant. Directed by Dallas Jenkins (“The Chosen”) and based on the international bestseller by Barbara Robinson, THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER follows six siblings who sneak into church searching for snacks and walk away with the lead roles in the town pageant. Grace (Judy Greer) is directing the performance for the very first time; she and her daughter Beth (Molly Belle Wright) and husband Bob (Pete Holmes) are less than amused. But the play’s mischievous stars might unwittingly teach a community the true meaning of Christmas.
Bonhoeffer
Opens November 22
As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, Dietrich Bonhoeffer is swept into the epicenter of a deadly plot to assassinate Hitler. With his faith and fate at stake, Bonhoeffer must choose between upholding his moral convictions or risking it all to save millions of Jews from genocide. Will his shift from preaching peace to plotting murder alter the course of history or cost him everything?
GOD’S NOT DEAD: IN GOD WE TRUST
Opens December 6
Self-centered Solomon Lynch, the local Scrooge of the small, struggling town of Springdale, Indiana, takes a musical journey through his past, present and future on Christmas Eve. But it will take more than Christmas spirit to set things right. A feature-length film offering diverse musical styles, Carol is a family-friendly story of hope, faith and redemption.
Full Theater Runs
A “Full Theater Run” we define as a traditional, week to week schedule where theaters decide based on the previous weekend’s box office which films to hold or end. A film on Fathom Events like The Chosen Season 4 or Someone Like you might wind up running several weeks, but because they are not a week to week schedule they would still be considered a limited run.

LOOKING BACK IN 2024
(The [BUY] link after each film is for an Amazon purchase link, when available, which is an affiliate link from which all proceeds go to the ministry. It may or may not be the cheapest option, so you are more than welcome to review other options. Our goal is not selling movies as a fundraiser, so this is provided solely for convenience, not with the intent of selling any significant volumes of anything.)
If there are other movies (or anything from Amazon) you can let me know and I can provide a specific affiliate link.. but here’s the cool thing. You don’t need a specific link – if you use ANY of the links below, and then go on to search and purchase anything else – yes – ANYTHING, we receive a small % through the affiliate program. It’s not a lot, but when as a ministry our standard “ask” for monthly partnerships is just $25, if this grew to that level it’s the same as a new partner/member of THE CREW!
For the record, we’re a long ways off from that!
