It was originally supposed to be showing in Winnipeg for just one week. But demand means it's staying for at least another week.

I Can Only Imagine surprised the movie industry by bringing in $17 million over its debut weekend.

Scotiabank Theatre Polo Park has decided to keep the surprise blockbuster around in Winnipeg for another week-long run.

CHVN listeners have enjoyed seeing the film, which tells the life story of MercyMe's lead singer Bart Millard, and how one of the most successful songs in Christian music history came to be.

Joanne Ogilvie said that it was a powerful movie, and Nick Busch called it a tear jerker.
