CinemaScore, established in 1978, leads the industry to measure the movie’s appeal by polling movie audiences during the opening night. They aim to balance perspectives from movie critics and moviegoers. As a result, they help people “make better choices about what movies to watch.” Their reliable information has earned respect from the Hollywood studios and news organizations.
And recently, CinemaScore has rated Jon Erwin’s latest film, Jesus Revolution, an A+. He has received a total of four A+ CinemaScore, making him the first director to do so. The other three films were Woodlawn in 2015; I Can Only Imagine in 2018, and American Underdog in 2021. His brother, Andrew Erwin, co-directed all previous three films. While Brent McCorkle co-directed the Jesus Revolution.

Throughout the years, only three directors received three A+ scores, namely Alex Kendrick for Overcomer (2019), War Room (2015), and Courageous (2011); Rob Reiner for The Princess Bride (2019), When Harry Met Sally (1989), and A Few Good Men (1992); and Andrew Erwin.
Meanwhile, the legendary director Steven Spielberg has only received two A+ scores for E.T. (1982) and Schindler’s List (1993).
Harold Mintz, CinemaScores President, commended Jon for an outstanding work. “Jon Erwin has now achieved four A+ CinemaScores, more than any other filmmaker since we have been compiling data. For a director to achieve that accomplishment once is a rarity. But to hit that mark four times is not only an incredible distinction – it’s unprecedented. Congratulations to Jon and Brent McCorkle and the entire team at Kingdom Story Company.”
Moreover, the team behind Jesus Revolution also congratulated the Kingdom Story Company, the studio which made Jesus Revolution. They wrote, “This is a huge achievement for Jon, co-director Brent McCorkle, and for all of Kingdom Story Company—who create inspiring and quality entertainment. Thank you all for making history with us! You are part of this moment!”
