Angel Studios’ independent summer hit, Sound of Freedom. has now sold more than 8.9 million tickets in its third week in release, and the film has now earned nearly $125 million in box office revenue.
The movie stars Jim Caviezel and was written and directed by Alejandro Monteverde.
“Sound of Freedom is continuing its unbelievable ride.” said Brandon Purdie, head of theatrical distribution at Angel Studios. “Word continues to spread, and crowds are continuing to show up, which is how this film ended up doing more business in its third weekend than its first. As we begin to look toward the international box office, Angel Studios intends to continue to push here at home. We want every American to see this landmark film.”
“Sound of Freedom has become the people’s movie,” said Jared Geesey, senior vice president of global distribution with Angel Studios. “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. 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.”
Sound of Freedom is in 3,285 theatres and earned roughly $20,140,647 in its third weekend for a cumulative total of roughly $124,748,584.
The Angel Guild is a community of more than 100,000 people who are the most engaged in the Angel Studios’ network. The Angel Guild votes on all eligible films submitted to Angel Studios. Filmmakers must pass the Angel Guild to be distributed by Angel Studios.
