Costing only $14 million, the now blockbuster hit, 'Sound of Freedom' is the savior of the '23 summer box office thus far.
The film, about child sex trafficking, has now grossed over $100 million in its two-week run and is still going strong...all without any international release.
Billed a 'political thriller' the film was produced and distributed by Angel Studios, a Utha-based company that crowd-funded the film via the Angel Guild, a community of 160,000 that votes on what film will get produced.

There is now a rush by cinema owners to get the film. It was originally released at 2,534 screens and is now screening at 3,287.
Cinema Mucho Gusto's Take
With a 100% audience rating and an 80% critics' rating from Rotten Tomatoes the film is based upon a true story of a former U.S. government agent who embarks on a mission to rescue children from sex traffickers in Columbia. A subject that Hollywood has shied away from dealing with - for political reasons. Big mistake!

Despite poor reviews from mainstream media and industry trade rags the film is a huge money-maker and that's all that counts...at least as far as CMG concerned.
The cinema needs all the help it can muster at the box office and whichever film can accomplish this - I'm an avid proponent.
And, by the way, 'Sound of Freedom' is a very well made and acted film.
