Rick Santorum's New Christmas Movie is Officially a Flop
Shortly after former Senator Rick Santorum took the reins as CEO of Dallas' EchoLight Studios, he began pimping "The Christmas Candle," a holiday parable about the residents of a quaint English village protecting traditional values (a miracle-producing candle) against the forces of modernity (electricity).
The film "hearkens back to the heartwarming and uplifting movies of yesteryear," Santorum proclaimed. It's destined to become "the next holiday classic."

Of course, faith-based family films are routinely panned by the secular media. The ultimate judgment will come from the families who yearn for good, clean holiday entertainment.
"That's what people across America and the world are looking for, including my own family," Santorum explained when the movie was announced. "We're always searching for movies we can take the whole family to, and we think there are millions of others who share that desire."
Unfortunately for Santorum and EchoLight, most of those people have stayed home since "The Christmas Candle" premiered a week ago. As U.K.'s The Guardian reports this morning, the movie is a box office flop, grossing just over $1 million.

But instead I'll hope someone else sees it and posts an astute analysis 
The "moral majority" can't gross more than $1mm for a freakin' CHRISTMAS MOVIE!!
