05/06/2014

WASHINGTON (June 5, 2014)- Jerusalem, a unique film adventure through the Holy Land for 3-D and 2-D giant-screen, IMAX and digital theaters, with a particular focus on the ancient city of Jerusalem, has surpassed the $5 million mark in worldwide gross box office revenue, National Geographic Cinema Ventures (NGCV) has announced. An original production from Cosmic Picture and Arcane Pictures, the 43-minute film is narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch ( Star Trek Into Darkness and PBS' Sherlock ). Jerusalem has been shown in more than 45 theaters worldwide, giving audiences exclusive and unprecedented access to iconic holy sites and little-known parts of Jerusalem, including the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Dome of the Rock, as well as other areas in the Holy Land such as the Jordan River, Sea of Galilee and the mountain fortress of Masada.

Jerusalem was executive produced by the late Jake Eberts, legendary producer of movies such as Gandhi, Chariots of Fire and Dances with Wolves. In addition to Eberts, Taran Davies, George Duffield and Daniel Ferguson served as producers. Ferguson also wrote and directed Jerusalem. Large-format industry veteran Reed Smoot, ASC, was director of photography.

We are extremely pleased that this film has been such a success. It has really struck a positive emotional chord with audiences of all ages all around the world, said Mark Katz, president of NGCV Distribution. We have been excited about this film from the very beginning, and reaching this box office milestone confirms that audiences are as well.

The producers agreed, saying: We are thrilled at having reached this milestone. The strong audience reaction has been humbling for us, as has the creativity of the exhibitors and outreach partners who have done such a formidable job marketing this film to families, seniors, faith-based communities and school groups. We hope Jerusalem' will continue to inspire audiences for years to come.
