The King of Kings is off to a royal start.

The animated Christian film (that stars Charles Dickens for some reason?) from Angel Studios is projected for an $18 million debut weekend at the domestic box office. If that holds, it would “wound up outstripping DreamWorks Animation’s The Prince of Egypt ($14.5M) as the best opening ever for an animated Biblical movie.” The Prince of Egypt still holds the record for best diva-off in a motion picture, however.
