The final Bible-based film in a year full of faith-inspired stories, Exodus: Gods and Kings, earned an estimated $8.6 million Friday as it marches towards the No. 1 domestic spot for the weekend.
Directed by Ridley Scott, Exodus is on track to earn around $25 million in its debut, which would allow it to take the top spot from The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1, now in its fourth week.
While Exodus will not open to the same big numbers as its fellow big-budget Biblical epic Noah, Exodus is expected to have longer legs as the holiday season continues.
