The Sound of Freedom film is shocking box office pre-ales with more than $10 million in tickets sold ahead of its theatrical release on July 4.
The film, which is being distributed by Angel Studios, details the true story of how Tim Ballard, a then-federal agent, quit his job and risked his life to journey into the jungles of Colombia in an effort to save children from sex slavery.“Time and again, Angel fans have proven that they’ll support films that are entertaining and inspiring, and Sound of Freedom is no exception,” Angel Studios Senior Vice President of Global Distribution Jared Geesey told the Washington Examiner.
“Industry experts are telling us this surge in presales is stunning the whole industry, but we believe the Angels marshaling their resources for this film aim for it to stun people outside of our industry, to wake audiences all over the globe to the plight of these children,” Geesey added. “We are now closer to our goal of selling 2 million tickets this opening week to symbolize the 2 million children who are trapped in the horrors of trafficking each year.
Tickets for the film may be purchased or paid forward using Angel Studios’s “Pay It Forward” software, which allows people to purchase tickets on behalf of others. “During the 1800s, Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote Uncle Tom’s Cabin, and it became the bestselling book of the 1800s, and that book was credited by Abraham Lincoln for ending slavery,” Angel Studios Chief Content Officer Jeff Harmon said. “Our hope is that this movie can be the modern-day version of Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
The film features Jim Caviezel from The Passion of the Christ, Academy Award-winner Mira Sorvino from Mighty Aphrodite, and Bill Camp from 12 Years a Slave. The film was produced by Eduardo Verastegui and was written and directed by Alejandro Monteverde.
