NASHVILLE, Dec. 22, 2015 /Christian Newswire/ -- WAR ROOM, the #1 theatrical hit movie from the filmmaking duo the Kendrick Brothers, launches on Blu-ray™ and DVD today and is already one of the most popular items at retail this Christmas season, reports Provident Films SVP Ben Howard. "The pre-sales for the WAR ROOM CBA Collector's Edition DVD and WAR ROOM CBA Blu-Ray/DVD Combo Pack outpace demand for any other DVD title in the industry based on retail reports," said Howard. "In fact, we anticipate WAR ROOM will break another retail record for the Kendricks beating blockbuster first-week sales of previous best-selling DVDs COURAGEOUS and FIREPROOF."
Packed with special features, the WAR ROOM Blu-ray and Collector's Edition DVD include hilarious bloopers & outtakes, the "Warrior" music video by Steven Curtis Chapman, and "A Pastor's Call to Prayer" featurette showcasing spiritual leaders like Dr. Tony Evans and Pastor Ronnie Floyd sharing the importance of church leaders guiding their congregations to the centrality of prayer. Features exclusive to the products offered to the Christian bookstore market include a devotion by Alex Kendrick, a devotion by Stephen Kendrick, a "Wall of Remembrance" featurette and a special behind-the-scenes feature about the home used during filming titled "Redemption For the Mitchell Home."
Both the WAR ROOM feature film, and the new Behind the Scenes bonus featurettes promise audiences a journey of laughter and tears to enjoy together this Christmas.
The faith and family drama that became the #1 movie in US theaters focuses on the transformative power of prayer. The film centers on a seemingly perfect family who find desperately needed help for their hidden problems from a wise, elderly widow named Miss Clara. Directed by Alex Kendrick, produced by Stephen Kendrick, and written by Alex Kendrick and Stephen Kendrick, WAR ROOM stars best-selling author Priscilla C. Shirer (New York Times best-selling author and Bible teacher), T.C. Stallings (Courageous), Karen Abercrombie (Rose from the Dead) and Beth Moore (New York Times best-selling author and Bible teacher) with Alex Kendrick (Courageous) and comedian Michael Jr.
(The Clean Stand Up Comedy Tour).
