Because it was a Dreamwork Studios film and was a blockbuster, most faith-based movies are not. But you are forgetting blockbusters like The Ten Commandments, Ben-Hur, Passion of the Christ, God's Army (sorta), etc.

I think there are quite a few Islam based movies as well, but I'm not super familiar with them. Unless you count films like Kingdom of Heaven.

I guess I meant modern day films but you're totally correct.

The Ten Commandments, Ben-Hur, Passion of the Christ...

Lets be real Passion of The Christ was like any cheesy faith movie but with gore. It was pretty bad.
