f there is any substance to a campaign to suppress the box office, the film’s distributors have the potential for a humongous lawsuit, probably involving triple damages.
We have received multiple emails from people saying that theaters are telling patrons that air-conditioning is broken in the auditoriums showing the hit movie Sound of Freedom, and offering another movie or a refund. Many people fear a campaign is underway to suppress the box office totals for the film, which exposes the sex trafficking of children. The box office success of SoF is particularly embarrassing for Disney, whose ridiculously expensive Indiana Jones movie is performing poorly and unlikely to earn a profit, because Disney reportedly sat on the rights to distribute Sound of Freedom for five years, only to relinquish the rights and see it become a smash hit. Unhappy shareholders may well question the wisdom of retaining current management if SoF becomes a mega-hit based on word of mouth.
I was skeptical that theater managers would deliberately turn away business, especially with a potential blockbuster on their hands. Summer blockbusters are how most theatres are able to stay in business. And theatre managers’ jobs depend on filling seats and staying out of the red.
As one emailer wrote, this is not necessarily a conspiracy:
FYI, I don’t habitually wear a tinfoil hat. Maybe (I dunno) a/c failures are random and common; so managers rationally put the expected-low-boxoffice film in the crippled room.
But reports continue to proliferate of mysterious outages of air-conditioning in just one screen at multiplexes. The video below purports to compile stories of this happening all across the country: [video at link, make sure you watch after the video ends to see comments made by dozens of people in different places had no AC either]

But “they” could make it not get made. Think about it, it’s not tough. You’re talking about rich and powerful people. The kind of people that can easily cause Angel’s assets to be seized as part of some bogus investigation. And then the never give them back, boom Angel ceases to exist, no movie.
Not a strawman, legitimate question. If “they” wanted to suppress it, having failed to stop it from being made, but having bought the distribution rights, all they gotta do at that point is NOTHING. They own the distribution rights, they don’t distribute it. Movie gone. Of course they had a say in who bought it. That’s how selling things works. Fox owned the distribution rights, Disney bought Fox, so then they owned it. Then Disney SOLD the distribution rights. All they had to do was NOT sell.
But why even let it get into theaters? Really you’ve got really very rich people. They could easily pay the theaters to not show it. It’s made $41 million in the theaters, you don’t think Bill Gates could double that to bribe all the theaters in the world to not show it? $82 million is a rounding error of his fortune. Movie gone.
And of course there’s the real meat. The movie has made $41 million bucks. In what world does a suppressed movie make $41? It’s done better than Asteroid City.
The problem with all these conspiracy theories is you need these people who are so smart and powerful they could have theaters tweak the AC to suppress a movie, but so freaking dumb they’d tweak the AC to suppress a movie they could have easily just stopped getting made.
Yes there are lots of way to suppress a film. ALL of which would be more successful than screwing with the AC.
Thusly, they are NOT screwing with the AC.
And anybody who thinks they are should be very wary of bridge salesmen.
But “they” could make it not get made.
/\
They didn’t
So
They couldn’t.
They couldn’t
( they tried)
So they didn’t.
All the eye witnesses to no AC were a vast dumb folk conspiracy ?
They all got together and lied ?
Your Pretzel ‘logic’ not withstanding.
The more you talk.
The more you out your self.
Sad.
But they COULD have.
That’s the basic problem you’re studiously avoiding.
Why would people that rich and powerful take the WORST POSSIBLE method to suppress a movie?! One that, if they were doing that, is demonstrably failing. All they had to do was NOT SELL IT.
People thinking the AC problem is part of some vast conspiracy all all morons. They aren’t lying. I have no doubt the AC was broken in their theater. Because I have seen it happen, and I know how things work. I just don’t think anybody faked breaking the AC to suppress a movie that if they wanted it suppressed they just wouldn’t show it.
Sorry bub. You’re the one outing yourself. Over and over and over you fail Occam’s Razor, fail at the most basic form of critical thinking, and continue to assume that the “correct” answer is that these rich powerful people who can run an international child smuggling ring for decades without getting caught can’t just make a movie disappear.
You are sad. Pathetic even. Willfully deliberately ignorant choosing to believe the dumbest thing possible rather than use your head. Pray God gives you the smarts he gave a slug. Cause they know this ain’t a conspiracy, you need to catch up.
But they COULD have.
That’s the basic problem you’re studiously avoiding.
%\
If they could have
They would have
They tried
They failed
and then media tried
They failed
Then you tried
to suppress the suppression
And failed
Please don’t think you can bamboozle the Lord on judgement day and succeed
You won’t do any better there
than you have done here.

It may be that they are guilty of what the movie exposes. Did you ever think of that??? Duh!
But you’re wrong.
Disney OWNED the distribution rights. Literally all they had to do was NOTHING.
NOTHING.
But they sold it.
That’s the end of it right there. If “they” wanted it suppressed they had it. It was done. Movie suppressed, story over. And the final proof that you’re wrong in all ways.
You’re the one bamboozling. And you keep lying and implying I defend pedophiles. So you’re not only dumb, you’re a liar.
But again WORST POSSIBLE method of suppression. Disney owned the rights. All they had to do to make sure the movie never saw a screen was nothing. Don’t sell it, don’t release it, don’t anything it. If they were guilty of what the movie exposes THAT is how they would suppress it. How anybody with enough brains to tie a shoe would do it.
What you say and what is happening are diametrically opposed. This film is being actively suppressed. Conservative voters are being suppressed. Vote fraud and cancel culture are two branches of the same black web. Do you ever ask yourself why a film exposing child trafficking is suppressed?
It’s made $41 million in 7 days. How it that suppressed? Sorry but you’re the one diametrically opposed to the facts on the table. Do you even ask yourself why a group of people smart enough to screw with the AC in hundreds of theaters would choose such a pathetic and ineffective way to suppress it? Especially when THEY OWNED IT. They had the ultimate 100% effective way to suppress. And didn’t.
And really, is this movie actually exposing anything? I mean we’ve known about child trafficking for centuries. It’s been around a long time, will continue to be around a long time. And it’s always the rich and powerful doing it. Is it naming names? Is it actually calling anyone out? Or is it just talking about something everybody already knows about and just goes on with their life.
Why does your ilk always do this ?

many posts ago.
“
Disney sat on it for years,
and has so much groomer blood flowing through their veins that to continue to sit on it would just illustrate their groomerness more so they finally ditched it and sold it.””
\ you ignored it and ran to another hole
It’s a constant whack a mole with your ilk.
I will not chase you from hole to hole.
Repent or burn, your choice.
Defend the indefensible on someone else’s dime.
Just saw the movie at Marcus Theater in Cedar Falls, IA.
The theater was 80% full. A/C and sound were perfect.
Excellant movie.
That’s stupid. By just sitting on it they’d have it die. It was a non-story. If they wanted it suppressed there was ZERO reason for them to sell. There were a hundred people on the planet that gave a crap about it. No stories. No news. No nothing. It was a dead event. If the goal was to suppress it then they won. Selling was the one move that would fail.
It’s always the guys who wave God around that are liars and scum. That’s you bub. You’ve lied about me a dozen times on this thread. You’re the one that’s gonna butn5. All liars burn.
I’m not the defending cnn,,, rolling stone,,, media,,theatres.
You’re the one trying to surpress the first hand accounts of suppression by calling us cultists ECT.
You’ve spent a lot if time and words trying to make this a non story.
Or are you gonna call that a “lie about “ you ?
Maybe you should hookup with CNN.
Media could use another SOF basher.
You are really starting to sound pedo adjacent.
Have you seen the movie ?
Are you going to go see it ?
Lied about you ?
12 times ?
Wut
Eva
I just think you’re bent.
I condemn pedos
and enabling media and theatres
and that makes ME scum ?
You are seriously one bent dude.
( Gosh,
hope I didn’t miss gender ya ! )

All lies on your part. Quote me defending ANYONE. Go ahead. DO IT YOU LIAR.
List my “ 12” lies about you first.
You defended the theatres while calling first hand eyewitnesses conspiracy cultists
By defending The theatres, or who ever pulled all the crap while working at them, you defended suppression of SOF
By defending the surpressors you defended the pedos
Don’t need to, because you just listed them for me. I NEVER DEFENDED ANYONE. Those are LIES.
In your self righteous zeal to be right even in the face of clear and obvious facts that you are wrong you ran right to the place where all scum go: THE LIE.
if your next post isn’t QUOTING me defending anyone, which it can’t be, you are tacitly admitting to lying.
Pray for yourself. Liars burn. Repent.
Why ?
You would just deny it.
Still waiting on the “ 12”.
