Brandon Purdie didn't sleep Monday night or Tuesday night, but he isn't tired. The head of a movie distribution company with a surprise hit is too busy for the mundaneness of fatigue.
The weekend box office success of "Meet the Mormons" put Purdie Distribution's founder in the driver's seat Monday morning in the turbo-charged race to expand the number of screens showing the documentary. The momentum continued Monday and Tuesday, making it one of America's 10 biggest movies this week and one of the top 100 documentaries of all time.
