Angel Studios’ “Sound of Freedom” took the top spot in sales July 4th, surpassing Disney’s widely panned “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.<\/a>“<\/p>\n

The action film starring Jim Caviezel is based on the true story of former federal agent Tim Ballard and his mission<\/a> to save children from human trafficking. On its first day, the film took the number one spot at the box office, grossing over $14 million through “pay it forward” and direct box office sales.<\/p>\n

The film has reportedly<\/a> earned nearly all of its budget back on its opening day.<\/p>\n

“Sound of Freedom” beat “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” which played in nearly 2,000 more theaters had a reported budget of $295 million. The franchise sequel took in $11 million and the second-place-slot on July 4.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0WHY JIM CAVIEZEL’S NEW FILM IS PERSONAL TO A MAN OF FAITH: \u2018THE DEVIL OWNS THE FENCE\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Audiences gave the movie an A+ Cinemascore and a 100% score on movie rating site Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Thanks to fans around the country, SOUND OF FREEDOM earned the top spot as America\u2019s number one movie on Independence Day,” Neal Harmon, CEO of Angel Studios announced in a press release.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Harmon touted the film’s success on its opening day through the studio’s unique crowdfunding<\/a> and pay-it-forward model.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve received numerous messages telling us theaters are either packed or sold out. This movie has now taken on a life of its own to become something more than that, a grassroots movement. With an A+ CinemaScore rating, we\u2019re the top-rated movie in America, and we\u2019re going to see word-of-mouth spread even further going into the weekend. The world needs to see SOUND OF FREEDOM, and we know that our biggest competitive advantage\u2014our incredible fans and investors\u2014are going to make sure that happens.”<\/p>\n

Conversely, critics and fans skewered the latest installment of the “Indiana Jones” series as “weak” and “unfunny” with “woke” messaging that alienated its audience.<\/p>\n

\u2018THE SOUND OF FREEDOM\u2019 EXPOSES BRUTAL FIGHT TO SAVE VICTIMS OF CHILD TRAFFICKING<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Ballard, who founded his own independent child rescue operation known as Operation Underground Railroad, told Fox News Digital <\/a>he wanted the movie to inspire people to get involved in the cause. He hopes the movie serves as a resource and an opportunity for viewers to “intervene” and end child trafficking.<\/p>\n

The movie depicts a real-life rescue his organization conducted in October of 2014, he said<\/p>\n

“What you see in the movie \u2018Sound of Freedom,\u2019 that was based on a real-life operation called \u2018Triple Take,\u2019” OUR Rescue President and COO Matt Osborne, a former CIA agent, told Fox News Digital. ” \u2026 In October of 2014, in three cities in Colombia, in a one-hour time period, we helped Colombian authorities and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security rescue 123 trafficking victims \u2013 55 of those were minors.”<\/p>\n

This isn’t the first project by Utah-based Angel Studios that’s outperformed expectations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Tens of thousands” of fans crashed a movie theater website last January in their rush to purchase tickets for Biblical drama “The Chosen”‘s season finale.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“His Only Son,” based on the Old Testament story of Abraham and Isaac, also blew its budget out of the water grossing $12 million but taking just $250,000 to make, IndieWire reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n
