The conservative blockbuster continues to rake in the cash.
According to a press release from Angel Studios, Sound of Freedom has sailed to $100M in box office sales with close to 9 million tickets sold —a huge success by any measure.
“SOUND of FREEDOM has become the people’s movie. It was chosen by over 100,000 people in the Angel Guild, fueled by untold tens of thousands through our ‘Pay it Forward’ program, and is dominating the box office as the result of a ground-up, grassroots movement of everyday people who are making this an historic success,” said Jared Geesey, SVP of Global Distribution with Angel Studios. “This is the opposite of the top down system developed by Hollywood gatekeepers. We are empowering people to be part of choosing, funding, and sharing stories that amplify light and impact culture..”
Former President and 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump screened the film at his Bedminster, NY Golf Club this week, saying he thought the film was “unbelievable.”
“Thank you all so much, that was incredible,” Trump said. “Jim, that was unbelievable,” Trump added after turning to star Jim Caviezel.
“It’s something that I’m not sure if you’re supposed to enjoy or learn, it’s a combination, but that was a great movie,” Trump added. “Now I understand why it’s doing so well.”
