, a film based on Jim Stovall's best-selling novel, which was published by RiverOak/Cook Communications Ministries, debuted at No. 13 over the weekend, according to BoxOfficeMojo.com. The film grossed $1.2 million after opening on 816 screens.

Rated PG for thematic elements, some violence and language, the movie, which stars Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine) and James Garner (The Notebook), is about a young man (Drew Fuller) obsessed with status, power and wealth. After the death of his millionaire grandfather (Garner), he must pass a series of 12 tests-or “gifts”-in order to receive “the ultimate gift” left in his grandfather's will.

The latest film marketed by FoxFaith, 20th Century Fox's faith-based film division, the film received mixed newspaper reviews. Newsday said The Ultimate Gift was “well-meant, but impossibly obvious,” and the Arizona Daily Star noted that “the ultimate gift to the bored audience comes when the end credits signify salvation.”

On the upside, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer said that “the film communicates its message without belaboring its moral points or throwing in any overt religious dogma,” while the Los Angeles Times observed that the movie's “values are fairly well encoded into the story, such that it feels less like a sermon and more like a film with a good, if somewhat sappy, heart.”

Meanwhile, Amazing Grace, the biopic on the life story of William Wilberforce, England's Christian abolitionist leader, was ranked No. 10 over the weekend, grossing $2.5 million on 1,000 screens. According to BoxOfficeMojo.com, the Bristol Bay Productions movie has made $11.4 million since its Feb. 23 release.

FoxFaith is scheduled to release The Final Inquiry for its next movie. Due to come out in theaters April 6, Good Friday, the film tells the story of a Roman emperor who sends an agent to investigate Jesus' resurrection.
