Its independent summer hit, SOUND of FREEDOM, has now sold over 8.9 million tickets, and the film has now passed $100M in box office revenue.

One of the primary points of contention revolves around the film's portrayal of child trafficking. Experts, including Erin Albright, a former fellow for the Department of Justice's anti-trafficking task force, argue that the depiction is inaccurate and sensationalized.

“Sound of Freedom” was based on a true story but contains dramatized elements. Filmmakers took creative license in portraying the different ways that children can be trafficked, including in shipping containers.

Verástegui confirmed in an exclusive interview with Newsweek that Disney did in fact temporarily own the rights to Sound of Freedom after its acquisition of 20th Century.

"Sound of Freedom" beat "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny," which played in nearly 2,000 more theaters and had a reported budget of $295 million.

As the credits roll at the end of the film, U.S. audiences saw a timer on the screen counting down to a "special message" which was actor Jim Caviezel, who plays Ballard, urging the audience to tell people about the film but also to "pay it forward" and buy tickets for others who might not be able to afford their own ...

Sound of Freedom is a 2023 American Christian thriller film directed and co-written by Alejandro Monteverde, and starring Jim Caviezel, Mira Sorvino, and Bill Camp. Caviezel plays Tim Ballard, a former U.S. government agent who embarks on a mission to rescue children from sex traffickers in Colombia.

Sound of Freedom's faith-based elements and overarching themes surrounding patriotism and protecting children from evil criminal organizations likely encouraged people to buy tickets through the "Pay It Forward" gateway, ultimately contributing to its success.

THE $5 MILLION RAISED FOR the distribution of Sound of Freedom went directly to Angel Studios — not the filmmakers.

Personally I recommend for 13 and up as it does deal with themes that younger children will struggle to understand. Ultimately it is up to the parent to determine the child's maturity and if a movie surrounding child sex trafficking is something that the child can handle. This title has: Great messages.

There is no question that it was difficult to reach Sound of Freedom's success. After Disney bought 20th Century Fox, the company that was scheduled to release the film, there were problems. This purchase caused the movie to be placed on hold for a while until Angel Studios was able to secure distribution rights.

If you do not care for musicals, then I wouldn't really suggest this movie to you. It really is a lot of singing, but it is great singing by talented artists, which is really why it will forever have a place in classic great cinema. 10/10 for The Sound of Music. Enchanting story with lovely entertaining music.

The 1927 film The Jazz Singer is probably the first all talking feature you ever heard of. And it's pretty much heralded as much. With Alan Crosland directing again, this time, they decided to amp up this feature film by not only using sound-on-disc technology for music and singing. But to add dialogue as well.
