When looking at christian movies like God's Not Dead or Fireproof, it's easy to see how most people wouldn't like it but some christian's would love it. I believe that Christians shouldn't make films solely oriented towards this audience, I think by doing that, the film doesn't really help anyone or really has much of a point really. All it does is makes the target audience agree and that's it. This idea doesn't only apply to Christians of course. It really can apply to any movie that only targets a very particular target audience. But really, the purpose of a movie can be many things, but it shouldn't just be made so some people can nod in agreement and say that the movies right.
This isn't to say Christians shouldn't make movies or anything like that. It's simply that when making a movie about Christianity it shouldn't be made with the thought of "Oh yeah, Christians are going to love this, oh well if other people don't like it ." This thought is an exaggerated way of how they went along with making Fireproof or God's Not Dead, and that's something that we should avoid.
