pure-flix-logoPure Flix Entertainment continues to enhance its position as the world's largest faith and family-based film company with the announcement of its box office receipts for 2015. Pure Flix also announced significant developments across all of its divisions.

For 2015, the box office receipts for Pure Flix's four films—Old Fashioned, Do You Believe?, Faith of Our Fathers and Woodlawn—totaled more than $30.2 million, according to the company. God's Not Dead 2 from Pure Flix opens in more than 1,500 theaters nationally April 1.

Michael Scott, CEO of Pure Flix, commented on the company’s success.

“We're grateful for everything we've accomplished last year,” Scott said. “There's clearly a growing appetite among the industry, retailers, distributors and consumers for faith- and family-friendly films that we're providing.”

One of the key milestones for the company in 2015 was the introduction of a SVOD platform, pureflix.com. With more than 3,000 titles available—including several movies that can only be streamed on pureflix.com—Pure Flix Digital is planning to add additional exclusive and original content, providing an alternative to the usual Hollywood fare. The service is available on iOS and Android platforms, and it can also be streamed via Roku, Google Chromecast and Amazon Firestick.

Equally noteworthy, the Pure Flix Home Entertainment division signed a multi-year distribution deal with Universal Studios. The company's first release through Universal in January was Woodlawn.
