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!).
Once available, the buttons below each film banner will share the detailed review from the organizations MovieGuide, Plugged In, and Dove. We do this because we are a ministry of awareness – we know people can’t support anything they are not aware of, so we want to make people aware, while allowing resources and links for them to dig deeper and determine if they are interested.
NOW PLAYING / NEXT FEW UP:
THE FORGE
Now Playing
Isaiah Wright has some growing up to do. A year out of high school with no plans for his future, Isaiah is challenged by his single mom and a successful businessman to start charting a better course for his life. Through the biblical discipleship from his new mentor, prayers of his mother and a prayer warrior named Miss Clara, Isaiah begins to discover God’s purpose for his life is so much more than he could hope for or imagine. From the Kendrick Brothers, the creators of the No. 1 hit WAR ROOM, comes THE FORGE, a faith-filled new movie with familiar friends and inspiring new twists.
REAGAN
NOW PLAYING
From dusty small-town roots, to the glitter of Hollywood, and then on to commanding the world stage, REAGAN is a cinematic journey of overcoming the odds. Told through the voice of Viktor Petrovich, a former KGB agent whose life becomes inextricably linked with Ronald Reagan’s when Reagan first caught the Soviets’ attention as an actor in Hollywood, this film offers a perspective as unique as it is captivating.
GOD’S NOT DEAD: IN GOD WE TRUST
Now Playing
In a time of profound political, civil, and spiritual turmoil, Reverend David Hill grapples with the crucial question: Does God still have a place in politics? Compelled to enter a congressional race after the sudden death of a favored incumbent, David faces off against state senator Peter Kane, a formidable opponent determined to push religion out of the public square and cause greater divide. With relentless scrutiny and immense challenges, David’s campaign becomes a beacon of hope and optimism for many people yearning for spiritual and moral leadership. As he navigates the treacherous waters of modern politics, David’s faith and principles are put to the ultimate test. “God’s Not Dead: In God We Trust” explores the enduring relevance of faith in public life and the critical fight to keep religious values at the heart of governance. Featuring a star-studded cast and powerful message, this film calls on believers to stand firm in faith and make their voices heard.

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!
