Religious Replacement for Martin Scorsese’s Epic Western ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Is an Instant Streaming Hit

The faith-based market is expanding, with mainstream studios discovering its untapped potential. Just last month, Amazon MGM released Sarah’s Oil, which dramatized the true story of a young woman who, in the early 20th century, became known for her immense wealth. The film put a faith-based spin on a period of history that Martin Scorsese also explored recently, in his epic Western Killers of the Flower Moon. Sarah’s Oil featured Naya Desir-Johnson as Sarah Rector, who was allotted a piece of land in Oklahoma that turned out to be oil-rich. At the peak of her success, she was making the equivalent of $10,000 daily. Her story, or at least a part of it, mirrors that of the Osage community shown in Killers of the Flower Moon. Sarah’s Oil might not have broken any box office records, but it became an instant hit on home video.
