Easter is coming up this weekend, but the biggest “faith-based” movie at the box office isn’t one of the two Bible movies out there — instead, it’s Miracles from Heaven, which tells the story of a girl who was healed of a rare digestive disorder. The studio has released some new videos to promote the film as it enters its second week.
First, a TV spot cites the film’s positive reviews and its A+ CinemaScore:
Another TV spot ties the film to the Easter season specifically:
Second, a new featurette — posted by Sony Pictures Singapore! — features co-stars Jennifer Garner, Queen Latifah and Eugenio Derbez (Christy Beam, the real-life mom played by Garner, also appears in the video, but doesn’t provide any soundbites):
