Probably because it's an extreme niche.

For example when I look now, it's not available on any streaming platform in the UK, nor screening at any cinemas who list online. I expect similar will be true for other nations in the anglosphere, and it's presence in countries outside the anglosphere will be even smaller than it's non-existence here.

Films covering religious topics absolutely can be mainstream, but from what I am reading about this film - and there's plenty coming up on google searches, so I don't know why you'd be having difficulty finding information on it - this is primarily a faith-affirming flick and not just a movie about a religious topic; It's reach therefore will be limited to those people who are interested in such an experience, just as one might imagine a particularly soppy romcom's or an obscene horror's reach will be limited to a specific audience, too.

More to the point, why were you looking for information about a movie you've already seen?

Thanks for your response and insight... I just figured I would see what others thought about a movie that I had just seen (esp since it was the 3rd largest over the weekend) in this sub and was surprised (now seeing that maybe I shouldn't have been) that I really couldn't find anything even though it grossed over 15m over the weekend and 3rd overall... Seemed odd to me...

Sure - top ten, in the US only, two months into the year, leaning on 60s and 70s nostalgia, with overt religion-specific messaging - albeit by all accounts not too heavy-handed: That's pretty niche, my dude.

It's really not surprising to me that nobody on an international forum has talked about this film before you did; Particularly given that Reddit can oft bear the reputation in some circles of being a hive of scum and villainy.
