Filling Theaters. Building Community.

Theater Partnerships

Faith-based event programming designed to help theaters maximize weeknight opportunities — recurring full-house experiences, strong concession activity, and meaningful local engagement.

The Opportunity

Recurring Faith Events That Fill Auditoriums

Projecting Hope partners with theaters to create recurring faith-based and inspirational events that drive attendance, increase concession activity, and strengthen community engagement during strategic weekday programming windows.

For more than 25 years, our leadership team has produced capacity-filled theatrical events built around organized audiences, meaningful content, and shared big-screen experiences.

This fall, we're seeking exhibition partners interested in a simple, high-impact programming model built around three core benefits.

Benefit 1

A Minimum of Two Early Access Buyouts

Projecting Hope will purchase 100 seats per location, per event for two Early Access faith-based films your theaters are already programming — 200 guaranteed seats at every site. Theaters provide each guest with a ticket and popcorn for a combined price of $10.

We've partnered with films like David and I Can Only Imagine 2, purchasing more than 3,000 tickets from our theater partners.

These buyouts generate guaranteed box office revenue, drive additional concession sales as guests pair popcorn with drinks, create high-energy full-house experiences, and introduce new audiences to your locations. Most Early Access events fall on Thursday evenings — though kids titles may occasionally land on other days or times.

Big-Screen Faith Nights

Projecting Hope provides 10 additional weeknight events — content, marketing, and audience delivery included — specifically designed for traditionally underutilized programming windows.

The result is full auditoriums and concession-driven revenue during weekday windows that typically underperform.

The economics are straightforward: 75 to 100 engaged attendees per site, buying concessions, consistently outperform a lightly attended traditional weekday screening.

Positive Community Visibility & Goodwill

Every Projecting Hope event supports awareness and engagement for carefully selected Hope Causes — initiatives focused on disaster relief, adoption and foster care, clean water, global health, and education.

This creates meaningful local goodwill while positioning participating theaters as active community gathering spaces, not simply entertainment venues.

The Result

A Consistent Fall Event Program

The outcome is a program that maximizes weekday opportunities, drives recurring theater traffic, increases concession activity, and strengthens community connection.

Let Projecting Hope help fill your theaters this fall with proven content, activated audiences, and experiences that create lasting local impact.

More than a movie. It's a movement.
