Sound of Freedom starring Jim Caviezel was the #1 movie in America on July 4

Fox News: 'Sound of Freedom' becomes top grossing July 4th movie, beating out Indiana Jones.

"Sound of Freedom" beat "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" which played in nearly 2,000 more theaters had a reported budget of $295 million. The franchise sequel took in $11 million and the second-place-slot on July 4. 

Jim Caviezel on Sound of Freedom as No. 1 July 4 film: ‘It’s about the children’ who are trafficked.

In reacting to the film’s theatrical release success, Caviezel told the Ingraham Angle that it was never about beating Disney.

“This isn’t about them. It’s not about Angel Studios putting it out. It’s about the children,” Caviezel said. “And Americans waking up right now. And the only way these [child trafficking] laws are going to be changed is that if the people move right now to save them.

“This is a good versus evil story. This is a battle hero story, and I was very blessed that I got the opportunity, just as I was blessed to do The Passion of the Christ. And this is the best film I’ve done since that film,” he added. “It is a controversial issue. It shouldn’t be. We should be just naturally wanting to save our children but again there’s those out there that want to exploit them.”

'With an A+ CinemaScore rating, we’re the top-rated movie in America, and we’re going to see word-of-mouth spread even further going into the weekend,' Angel Studio CEO Neal Harmon said.

 

(LifeSiteNews) — Sound of Freedom, the groundbreaking movie about rescuing children from the global sex-trafficking industry, debuted as the #1 movie in America on its opening day, July 4.

  The movie stars Jim Caviezel as former Homeland Security agent Tim Ballard, who quit his job a decade ago in order to rescue innocent children trapped in the horrific underworld where up to two million children around the world are bought and sold for sex to depraved adults.

 “Thanks to fans around the country, Sound of Freedom earned the top spot as America’s number one movie on Independence Day,” said Neal Harmon, Chief Executive Officer of Angel Studios.  “We’ve received numerous messages telling us theaters are either packed or sold out. This 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’re the top-rated movie in America, and we’re going to see word-of-mouth spread even further going into the weekend,” Harmon continued.

 “The world needs to see Sound of Freedom,” he added, “and we know that our biggest competitive advantage — our incredible fans and investors — are going to make sure that happens.”

  Jim Caviezel has suggested that Sound of Freedom will likely be the “Uncle Tom’s Cabin of 21st century slavery.”

 Eduardo Verástegui, Sound of Freedom’s producer and one of its stars, recently told LifeSiteNews that the movie is a weapon of mass instruction and inspiration, that will put more pressure on governments to act against the depraved exploitation of vulnerable children while enlisting ordinary citizens around the world to do what they can to end child-sex slavery.

Mel Gibson, the creative genius behind The Passion of the Christ, and Elon Musk have both urged people to go see Sound of Freedom.

To all Hispanic parents I recommend 100%  to see this faith-based film that addresses a painful reality with a preventive educational purpose and was made in a way that we do not see this crime in action but rather learn how pedophiles operate. 📈This is a sad reality that many Hispanic parents are unaware of and that is why these pedophile networks claim more victims. We must have the courage to examine this crime in order to confront and combat it.
