Angel Studios is projecting that the Jim Caviezel-driven film Sound of Freedom will have more than $85 million total cumulative box office revenue through Sunday, with a strong $27 million box office draw in the second weekend of the film’s domestic release.
“While the entire summer movie box office lineup is underperforming, our small independent film continues to grow week over week,” said Jared Geesey, senior vice president of global distribution at Angel Studios. “Driven by millions of fans and supporters, Sound of Freedom has become a national—and soon international—movement for change.”
“There have only been 10 wide release movies in box office history that have had a second weekend increase greater than 35 percent over their opening weekend. All of them did it at Christmas. Angel Studios is the only studio to do this in the summer blockbuster season with Sound of Freedom,” added Brandon Purdie, head of theatrical distribution for Angel Studios.
Sound of Freedom is currently in 3,265 theatres. The film is based upon the true story of former government agent Tim Ballard who quit his job to rescue a little girl from sex traffickers in the Colombian jungle. In the process, Ballard ended up saving 123 people, 55 of whom were children, from one mission alone.
