A movie about the egregious crimes of child trafficking, “Sound of Freedom,” had a shocking performance on July 4, 2023, even beating out several blockbuster studio films such as “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.”<\/p>\n

The movie by Angel Studios, a movie studio that allows for equity crowdfunding of its films, took the top spot at the box office for July 4 in a monumental victory for non-mainstream movie studios.<\/p>\n

As the Daily Wire reported<\/a>, the film beat out Disney’s latest Indiana Jones flick, which had been shrouded by rumors of extreme wokeness<\/a>, including a possible death of the iconic character, to be replaced by a woman. While any extreme twists have reportedly been removed from the Harrison Ford-led film, it still premiered to an underwhelming response<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Sound of Freedom” took in $14.2 million, whereas the Disney film made approximately $11.7 million. While “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” still made over $80 million in its first five days in theatres, its reported $300 million budget<\/a> did not leave much room for such an opening.<\/p>\n

The Angel Studios movie was led by Jim Caviezel, who starred in the movie “The Passion of the Christ” as Jesus. It also stars Mira Sorvino<\/a>, who won an Oscar for best supporting actress in 1995.<\/p>\n

“Thanks to fans around the country, \u2018SOUND OF FREEDOM\u2019 earned the top spot as America\u2019s number one movie on Independence Day,\u201d said Neal Harmon, CEO of Angel Studios.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve received numerous messages telling us theaters are either packed or sold out,\u201d he added. \u201cThis movie has now taken on a life of its own to become something more than that, a grassroots movement. With an A+ CinemaScore rating, we\u2019re the top-rated movie in America, and we\u2019re going to see word-of-mouth spread even further going into the weekend,” the CEO continued.<\/p>\n

The movie likely benefited from the positive words of generational star Mel Gibson, who said “the first step in eradicating this crime is awareness … go see ‘Sound of Freedom.'”<\/p>\n

Mel Gibson really said it best.<\/p>\n

THE WAY TO ERADICATE HUMAN TRAFFICING IS AWARENESS.<\/p>\n

More than 500,000 children a year go missing in the U.S. alone.<\/p>\n

I hope everyone will be going to see Sound of Freedom to SPREAD AWARENESS about this issue plaguing our country.#NotForSale<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/NA2hFuDvcX<\/a><\/p>\n
