PROVO, Utah -- Angel Studios, a platform and studio empowering filmmakers to crowdfund, create, and distribute films and TV series globally, backed by thousands of Angel investors, is announcing its July cumulative-to-date and second weekend results for its Jim Caviezel-driven film SOUND OF FREEDOM. Angel Studios is projecting over $85 million total cumulative box office revenue through Sunday, with a strong $27 million box office draw in the second weekend of the film's domestic release.
"While the entire summer movie box office lineup is underperforming, our small independent film continues to grow week over week. Driven by millions of fans and supporters, SOUND of FREEDOM has become a national, and soon international, movement for change," said Jared Geesey, SVP of Global Distribution at Angel Studios.
"There have only been 10 wide-release movies in box office history that have had a second weekend increase greater than 35% over their opening weekend.
