“As with our July 4th numbers, today’s numbers exceed our expectations, and we’re going to continue this momentum. Sound of Freedom has taken on a life of its own,” Angel Studios Head of Theatrical Distribution Brandon Purdie told the Washington Examiner in a statement. “We’re getting messages from all over the country telling us about packed theaters, sold-out theaters, and spontaneous standing ovations for the film in numerous locations.
In the days leading up to its theatrical release, music producer and songwriter Fernando Garibay wrote the film's theme song, titled Sound of Freedom. “How are movements created? Through every march of war, there has been a battle song. I wanted to create a battle song.” Garibay told the Washington Examiner. “The music is the ultimate buffer to allow the transition to happen. That was the responsibility I felt we had.”To date, the true-life thriller has grossed more than $40 million, according to box office reports. The film opened in 2,850 theaters and earned an A+ CinemaScore.
