Jim Caviezel’s thriller “Sound of Freedom” is setting records at the box office and has dethroned movies, such as “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” from first place.
The film is based on a true story, with Caviezel playing Tim Ballard, a U.S. Department of Homeland Security special agent who quit his job and focused his efforts to rescue children from sex trafficking.
Ballard founded the anti-trafficking group Operation Underground Railroad, which has one mission: end child sex trafficking.
“Sound of Freedom” was the third most-watched film in the U.S. last weekend, according to The Daily Beast.
The movie has been in the works for some time, with its script written in 2015 and filming completed in 2018, as reported by Screen Rant
Caviezel’s film has shown no signs of slowing down, becoming the top-grossing film on Monday and Tuesday, according to Box Office Mojo.
On Monday, “Sound of Freedom” generated more than $4 million at the box office, and on Tuesday it nearly duplicated its success, having grossed a little over $3.8 million.
“Sound of Freedom” has only been released in North America. Undoubtedly, the film has exceeded the expectations of many.
Brandon Purdie, the head of theatrical distribution at Angel Studios, told Variety, “As with our July 4th numbers, today’s numbers exceed our expectations, and we’re going to continue this momentum.”
