Since it debuted in theaters on July 4, 2023, the independent movie Sound of Freedom starring Jim Caviezel has been creating quite a stir. On opening day, it beat all other movies at the box office, earning a total of $14,242,063 — more than the previous weekend’s top movie: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, which took in $11,698,989, according to Boxofficemojo.com. Sound of Freedom moved to second place on the second day, then to third over the weekend when Insidious: The Red Door took the top spot.
However, then it did something astonishing. On July 10 and 11 it beat those two Hollywood movies to claim top place again, and moved only one spot to second place when the blockbuster film Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1 debuted on July 12. Sound of Freedom, about child trafficking, has held onto the second spot since then.
The movie, based on a true story, is about Tim Ballard’s (pictured below in a photo from Angel Studios) fight to save children from being trafficked as sex slaves in America. To read Tim Ballard’s true-life story, click here.
