On its opening day of July 4th – obviously a talismanic date – it outgrossed Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, also in its first week of release.
On a lean $15 million budget, it has taken $127m in three weeks, even outperforming Mission: Impossible last weekend. While British cinema-goers have been going gaga for Barbenheimer, in the United States Sound of Freedom has also been thriving. Well, whether from Carrick’s site or elsewhere, the call has been heeded. Carrick had given it a score of 97 percent, writing: “This cannot be another ‘conservative’ film that does ‘well for independent films.’ It must and can be a blockbuster, but it takes all of us DOING something about it.” The film’s distributors, a small Christian outfit called Angel Studios, were the only company to have made any efforts to woo him since his site went live earlier this year. “It’s brilliant,” he enthused, after expressing astonishment that this independently produced child-trafficking thriller, starring The Passion of the Christ’s Jim Caviezel, hadn’t yet crossed my radar. The first time I heard about the film Sound of Freedom was around a month ago, when I was interviewing James Carrick, the founder of an American conservative-skewing review site called Worth it or Woke.
