Sound of Freedom maintains 3rd place at box office, while Barbie and Oppenheimer make their debut.
Sound of Freedom Continues to Soar at the Box Office
The thrilling film, Sound of Freedom, has defied expectations once again, maintaining its success in its third weekend despite fierce competition from two major releases. This small budget gem recounts the incredible true story of former Homeland Security agent Tim Ballard, who bravely left his job to embark on a perilous journey into the Colombian jungles, determined to rescue children from the clutches of sex slavery. Over the weekend, the film raked in an impressive $20 million, only slightly less than its previous weekend earnings of approximately $27 million.
“Sound of Freedom is continuing its unbelievable ride.”
“Word continues to spread, and crowds are continuing to show up, which is how this film ended up doing more business in its third weekend than its first,” said Brandon Purdie, Head of Theatrical Distribution at Angel Studios, in a statement provided to the Washington Examiner. “As we begin to look toward the international box office, Angel Studios intends to continue to push here at home. We want every American to see this landmark film.”
Since its release on July 4, Sound of Freedom has amassed an impressive total of nearly $125 million at the box office, according to the studio.
Remarkably, the film’s ongoing success comes amidst the release of highly anticipated movies, including Barbie and Oppenheimer. The family-friendly Barbie film, rated PG-13 and based on the beloved toyline, shattered records by grossing a staggering $155 million over the weekend. Meanwhile, the R-rated biographical drama Oppenheimer earned approximately $80 million.
Former President Donald Trump himself hosted a special screening of Sound of Freedom at his New Jersey golf course, attended by producer Eduardo Verastegui, lead actor Jim Caviezel, and the real-life hero, Tim Ballard, along with his wife. After viewing the film, Trump made a bold campaign promise to utilize Title 42, a policy enacted during his administration, to combat the child trafficking crisis by swiftly returning trafficked children to their families in their home countries.
“Under my leadership, we accomplished more than any other administration in history to combat human trafficking and end modern-day slavery,” Trump declared, highlighting the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Re-authorization Act, the Abolish Human Trafficking Act, and various executive orders he implemented.
Trump has enthusiastically encouraged his supporters to experience the powerful impact of Sound of Freedom.
