Despite having the advantage of church’s across the country promoting the film and buying out entire theaters for showings, “Son of God” failed to beat action thriller “Non-Stop” to the top of the box office. “Non-Stop” topped the North American box office with a $30 million debut, marking another major win for Liam Neeson‘s career as an elder action star. “Son of God” came in a close second with $26.5 million.
