‘Sound of Freedom’ Dominates Box Office with $50 Million Milestone

Jim Caviezel’s Thriller “Sound of Freedom” Dominates Box Office

Jim Caviezel’s thrilling new movie, “Sound of Freedom,” has taken the box office by storm, surpassing blockbusters like “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” to claim the top spot. Based on a true story, Caviezel portrays Tim Ballard, a former U.S. Department of Homeland Security special agent who dedicates his life to rescuing children from sex trafficking.

Ballard is the founder of Operation Underground Railroad, an anti-trafficking group with a single mission: to end child sex trafficking. The film, which has been generating buzz, was the third most-watched movie in the U.S. last weekend, according to The Daily Beast.

“Sound of Freedom” has been in the works for several years, with the script written in 2015 and filming completed in 2018, as reported by Screen Rant. The movie shows no signs of slowing down, becoming the highest-grossing film on Monday and Tuesday, according to Box Office Mojo.

On Monday, the film raked in over $4 million, and on Tuesday, it nearly duplicated its success with a little over $3.8 million in earnings. The movie has only been released in North America, but it has already exceeded expectations.

Positive Reception and Presidential Endorsement

Brandon Purdie, the head of theatrical distribution at Angel Studios, expressed his excitement about the film’s success. He told Variety, “As with our July 4th numbers, today’s numbers exceed our expectations, and we’re going to continue this momentum.” Purdie added that they have been receiving messages from all over the country about packed theaters, sold-out shows, and spontaneous standing ovations.

Sound of Freedom is America’s #1 movie taking the top spot at the box office. The harsh realities of child trafficking are real and must be stopped.

Impressive Box Office Performance

Forbes reported that “Sound of Freedom” achieved second place in box office totals on Wednesday, trailing behind Tom Cruise’s “Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning — Part One.” The film has generated over $53 million, surpassing its budget of $14.5 million.

The movie currently holds a 75 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes and has received a perfect audience score of 100 percent. Its success has prompted Angel Studios to plan a worldwide theatrical release beginning in August 2023.
