Sound of Freedom released on July 4 and beat the latest Indiana Jones at the domestic box office for the holiday. The fifth Indiana Jones film, released by the Walt Disney Company, has greatly underperformed, opening on the weekend of June 30 to only $60 million.
Sound of Freedom is about the story of how former Homeland Security agent Tim Ballard quit his DHS job to journey into the jungles of Colombia in an effort to save children from sex slavery. Ballard is portrayed in the film by Jim Caviezel, best known for playing Jesus in 2004’s The Passion of the Christ.
On July 19, the film was screened by former President Donald Trump at his golf course in New Jersey. Trump praised the film as being an “inspiration.”
“It’s something that I’m not sure you’re supposed to enjoy or learn. It’s a combination,” said Trump. “That was a great movie. And now I understand why it is doing so well. It’s an incredible inspiration.”
