From Forbes:
Sound of Freedom 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 seventh Mission: Impossible movie earned the No. 1 spot, at $56.2 million.
Last weekend, Sound of Freedom grossed $19.7 million in U.S. theaters and came in third place behind horror film Insidious: The Red Doorand Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny—but Sound of Freedom 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. Ballard reportedly 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 “Sound of Freedom” this week at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey.
