Made about 170 million. Not bad for a 15 million budget.

Prior to joining this site, I've been to quite a few websites in seeing what their comment sections are like, whether it's Box Office Theory or World of KJ Index, and I have never seen more people get this worked up over a movie making this much $$$$ and when I say worked up, I'm talking about liberals throwing shade at this being a Right Wing Qanon Movie unaware of the fact that it's a very real topic and does happen?? I mean, if the Left had created this movie, they'd be beating their chests over it..

The Economist actually had a small article on this movie in their latest issue.

The newspaper noted the new successful marketing tactic of the "anti-Hollywood" film. That Donald Trump had a showing at his location. That the film didn't have to have any budget for advertising, as right wing media carried the message. False rumors of movie theaters not wanting to show it or turning off the A/C amped up conservatives to go see it.

This is the first movie EVER that this new marketing tactic has happened and has been profitable for the creators.

Expect more follow.

Angel Studios, the distributor behind Alejandro Monteverde’s summer surprise hit, Sound of Freedom, is exclaiming that they’ve paid back their 6,678 P&A investors 120% of their original investment in the Jim Caviezel movie.

Angel Studios raised $5M for the pic’s marketing through crowdfunding, the anti-child trafficking movie recently clicking past $174M in the middle of its sixth week through yesterday — more than Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny ($172.9M) and Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning – Part One‘s ($160.8M) domestic box office (the pic beat Indy this past weekend).

$178m on 8th weekend. 7 weeks in the top 8!
