The organization releases an annual Report to the Entertainment Industry which make the dubious claim that Christian-themed movies are more profitable and should be the focus of the industry. For example, their study claims that movies with messages advocating a "Christian" worldview earned $105 million and those advocating "miscellaneous morality" earned $10 million. This seems highly unlikely since the top five earning films in 2010 were Toy Story 3, Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, Inception and Shrek Forever After. None of them are particularly Christian in their outlook. In fact, each of them have magic and/or fantasy elements that may put off some conservative Christians.
