Anti-child trafficking filmĀ Sound of Freedom wrapped another strong week at the box office, outperforming critic expectations and soaring past the $85 million dollar mark.

The film is a runaway hit, making many Hollywood summer blockbusters look like flops.

Next stop: $100 million dollars.

FromĀ Forbes:

Sound of FreedomĀ took home the No. 2 spot at the box office this weekend, earning $27 million from Friday to Sunday and over $85 million overall since it opened in theaters on July 4, according to Box Office Mojo.

The seventhĀ Mission: Impossible movieĀ earned the No. 1 spot, at $56.2 million.

Last weekend,Ā Sound of FreedomĀ grossed $19.7 million in U.S. theaters and came in third placeĀ behindĀ horror filmĀ Insidious: The Red DoorandĀ Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny—butĀ Sound of FreedomĀ outpaced both movies this weekend while boosting its Friday-to-Sunday earnings by some $7.3 million week-to-week.

The film is based on the true story of Tim Ballard, a former Department of Homeland Security agent, who tries to save children who have been sex trafficked. BallardĀ reportedlyĀ has not claimed to conduct a mission exactly like the one in the film, but the movie ends with a montage from Ballard’s organizations’ real missions in Colombia.

Former President and 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump is expected to screen ā€œSound of Freedomā€ this week at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey.
