Sound of Freedom took the top spot in Latin America’s box office over its opening weekend.
Angel Studios, the distributor of Sound of Freedom, told the Washington Examiner that the independent film attracted nearly two million viewers across 18 Latin American countries.
“We’re seeing packed theaters, standing ovations, widespread enthusiasm, and strong word-of-mouth from Buenos Aires to Mexico City to Bogota to Caracas, Lima, and beyond,” Jared Geesey, Angel Studios chief distribution officer, said. “We set a goal of reaching 2 million in advance ticket sales — which took a full week in the U.S. — and reached that goal in just four days in Latin America.”
Sound of Freedom details the true story of how former Homeland Security agent Tim Ballard quit his DHS job and risked his life to journey into the jungles of Colombia in an effort to save children from sex slavery.
The film has broken expectations outside the United States and was a hit inside of the United States.
Sound of Freedom has smashed box office expectations outside of its biggest market, the U.S., which comes as no surprise to its director.
“We were told we only have a 1 percent chance to be successful, but it was our audience that came out and defended [the movie]… and it’s thanks to the audience that we survived the attacks [from the critics],” Alejandro Monteverde, who also wrote the screenplay, told Newsweek.
The film about child sex trafficking became the surprise hit of the summer in the U.S., making $182.58 million, despite only having a budget of $15 million. Sound of Freedom also out performed mega-franchises, Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning Part One and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny to become the 10th highest grossing movie of 2023 so far.
