It is very rare for a movie’s popularity to grow after the first weekend of wide release. Studios routinely expect a significant decline, after the eager fans have already attended and the impact of the marketing blitz fades. When a movie’s gross receipts soar, it is almost a certain sign that word-of-mouth publicity – the hope and dream of every mass entertainmåent product – is spreading the word that this is a film not to be missed.

That appears to be what is happening with Sound of Freedom, the movie chronicling one man’s fight against child sex slavery. (If you missed Lauri Regan’s stellar review of the movie and report on the very diverse crowd attending a suburban New York multiplex showing, read it here).
Here is a PR release from Angel Studios, which bought the rights to distribute it from Disney, after that company with its “not so secret gay agenda” shelved it for five years.
Cumulative Box Office
Inspiring, True-Life Thriller Starring Jim Caviezel Projecting $27 Million 2nd Weekend, an Increase of 37% Over 1st Weekend
Angel Studios Projecting to Cross $100 Million This Week
(Provo, UT—July 17, 2023) Angel Studios—a platform and studio empowering filmmakers to crowdfund, create, and distribute films and TV series globally, backed by thousands of Angel investors—is announcing its July cumulative-to-date and second weekend results for its Jim Caviezel-driven film SOUND OF FREEDOM.

The evil Left opposes this heroic movie and its message. How evil can anyone get?!??

More stuff that will make the left hate this movie:
And leftists won’t be pleased to hear that the composition of the audience was “representative” of the country’s demographics, i.e., it was quite diverse. In fact, the vast majority of the audience was Hispanic (my guess with the amount of Spanish I heard is first generation), Black, and much of the audience was likely 30 and under, although there were definitely people a bit older as well (I spotted only one white man who appeared to be older than 50). These are people the left thinks they own.
I did not spot one QAnon-supporting, white supremacist or MAGA-touting Republican. At $16 for a ticket, I found the demographics interesting, although once the movie began and I realized it took place almost entirely in Central America with all of the children being trafficked from those countries, it made sense. And despite the diversity of the audience, people laughed in unison at the one or two appropriate places (it was not a fun or funny movie) and clapped appropriately including when a pedophile was arrested and at the end of the movie.
It actually might have a shot since no more movie will be written or produced. It probably will hit 2024 worse, but you never know.
Saw it last night
Theater was packed
Very good movie
What are you talking about?
It might be nominated because there are not going to have as many movie to chose from. It might be this years “The Hurt Locker” which got a surprise nomination.
