The two-night theatrical release of the latest documentary produced by the Knights of Columbus, Mother Teresa: No Greater Love, was a great success. Fathom Events reports that the film on the life and work of the sainted foundress of the Missionaries of Charity exceeded $1.2 million in the box office. This feat is especially impressive as the premiere did not even occur on a weekend.
Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly, who served as executive producer of the film, hailed its popularity and announced that the proceeds of the film will be donated to “charitable purposes and efforts to advance the legacy of Mother Teresa." Kelly said in a press release:
The film was received so well that now Fathom Events has announced that the documentary will return in November for another day in theaters, as well as the release of a Spanish language edition. Mother Teresa: No Greater Love will be back on the silver screen on November 2 in US, UK, and Canadian theaters for one night only. Then, on November 7, US theaters will run a Spanish version. A list of participating theaters can be found at Fathom Events.
Filmmaker David Naglieri opened up to Aleteia about his experience working on the film. Read his exclusive interview with Aleteia’s own John Burger here.
