Indie movie Sound of Freedom, which is based on a true story and raises awareness of child sex trafficking, has sold two million tickets and crossed the $40 million dollar box office mark.
Star Jim Caviezel hit Twitter to thank audiences for seeing the film and spreading the word.
“I’ve always said do you want to be liked by many, the world, Hollywood, or do you want to be loved by one, which is God,” Caviezel says in the clip. “Because love don’t come from man it comes from above.”
“So, I’m sitting here thinking about all you amazing Americans that are fighting the battle and helping us in this war against the greatest evil that has ever been,” he added. “Because you know that God’s children are not for sale.”
“I want to thank you all for helping us reach two million tickets and thanks for not letting the media silence us. Your voices were heard. I love you.”

From Breitbart News:
Sound of Freedom has already grossed more domestically than these 2023 Best Picture nominees:
- Women Talking: $6 million domestic – $7 million worldwide
- Tár (which I recommend): $6 million domestic – $20 million worldwide
- Triangle of Sadness: $4 million domestic – $24 million worldwide
- The Fabelmans: $17 million domestic – $37 million worldwide
- The Banshees of Inisherin: $10 million domestic – $46 million worldwide
Except for Banshees, in just six days, Sound of Freedom made more than five of those films worldwide. All the Oscar, festival, and media hype led to nothing more than failure. People weren’t interested.
Sound of Freedom’s secret sauce used to be Hollywood’s expected sauce: 1) make a movie about an issue people care about (child sex trafficking), 2) give the movie a dramatic theme (Christianity) that appeals to a broad audience, 3) entertain, and 4) don’t preach or scold.
Meanwhile, Disney’s big summer blockbuster Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny has underperformed and is estimated to lose millions at the box office.
