'Sister Act' - DOUBT Passes 25 Million Mark at B.O.

Miramax's Doubt, which stars Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Viola Davis continues a solid run at the box office.  BoxOfficeMojo.com reports that Doubt has now taken in more than $25 million domestically.

John Patrick Shanley's film adaptaion of his Tony winning play has gotten excellent word of mouth and reviews and is being discussed as a possible Oscar contender for the upcoming Academy Awards.

Set at a Catholic school in the Bronx, Doubt centers on a nun who grows suspicious when a priest begins taking too much interest in a young black student. Is she being overly protective or not protective enough? And can she work within the system to discover the truth?

A charismatic priest, Father Flynn, is trying to upend the schools' strict customs, which have long been fiercely guarded by Sister Aloysius Beauvier, the iron-gloved Principal who believes in the power of fear and discipline. The winds of political change are sweeping through the community, and indeed, the school has just accepted its first black student, Donald Miller. But when Sister James, a hopeful innocent, shares with Sister Aloysius her guilt-inducing suspicion that Father Flynn is paying too much personal attention to Donald, Sister Aloysius sets off on a personal crusade to unearth the truth and to expunge Flynn from the school. Now, without a shard of proof besides her moral certainty, Sister Aloysius locks into a battle of wills with Father Flynn which threatens to tear apart the community with irrevocable consequence.

The film stars Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams and Viola Davis.
