Nationwide, 'Action Squads' Form for Opening Weekend
CourageoustheMovie.com

NASHVILLE, TN (June 21, 2011) - Tickets are on sale now for the Sept. 30, 2011, opening weekend of COURAGEOUS, the anticipated new feature film from Sherwood Pictures, makers of FIREPROOF. CourageoustheMovie.com links to Fandango, MovieFone, MovieTickets; all major ticket sites offer COURAGEOUS tickets.

Nationally, individuals, parishes and groups are forming Action Squads -- individuals and groups purchasing blocks of theater tickets, buying out COURAGEOUS showings, or committing to 1,000 tickets to secure the film in formerly unscheduled communities. (For the 2008 launch of FIREPROOF, Action Squads opened the film in 100 new markets.)

"COURAGEOUS is one of those rare movies audiences both want to see and need to see," Kris Fuhr, vice president for Provident Films, said. "It's powerful, entertaining, emotional . . . preview audiences are cheering and challenged to be the parents who can reclaim this generation and generations to come."

COURAGEOUS Action Squads open new theaters, buy out show times, or secure blocks of seats:

*Town Action Squads open the movie in new communities with an advance commitment to purchase 1,000 tickets.
*Show-Time Action Squads purchase all seats (200-250) for a local theaterˇ¦s scheduled show time. Individuals may purchase 25 or more of those opening weekend tickets to give friends, neighbors, or small groups.

COURAGEOUS Synopsis
Four men, one calling: to serve and protect. As law enforcement officers, they are confident and focused, standing up to the worst the streets have to offer. Yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge that none of them is truly prepared to tackle: fatherhood.

When tragedy strikes home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith, and their fathering. Can a newfound urgency help these dads draw closer to God . . . and to their children? Protecting the streets is second nature. Raising their children in a God-honoring way? That takes courage.

A Sherwood Pictures production, COURAGEOUS is distributed by TriStar Pictures with marketing by Provident Films and AFFIRM Films.
