Quote:It’s not every day that a $15 million movie, released by an independent producer, and paid for at least in part through crowdfunding, can climb to the top of the box office charts. And yet, that’s exactly the fate that’s greeted Angel Studios’ [i]Sound Of Freedom[/i], which has just passed the $100 million mark after just three weeks in theaters, making it the most successful independent film of 2023 by a country mile.
How did this particular movie pull it off—landing at No. 16 on the year’s domestic box office totals, just a few million behind Warner Bros.’ far-more-expensive [i]The Flash[/i]? It’s a complicated question, one that touches on the film’s unorthodox funding methods, its faith-based marketing, and its blend of traditional filmmaking with messaging that relentlessly tells its fans that the mere act of paying to see it is a virtuous and valorous act. (This is, after all, a film that ends with star Jim Caviezel popping up, Thanos-style, for an after-credits scene, imploring audiences to “make [i]Sound Of Freedom[/i] the [i]Uncle Tom’s Cabin[/i] of 21st-century slavery.”)
And if you will confess with your mouth our Lord Yeshua, and you will believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall have life.
