Why would liberals have a problem with this movie??

Sound of Freedom, based on the incredible true story, shines a light on even the darkest of places. After rescuing a young boy from ruthless child traffickers, a federal agent learns the boy’s sister is still captive and decides to embark on a dangerous mission to save her. With time running out, he quits his job and journeys deep into the Colombian jungle, putting his life on the line to free her from a fate worse than death, starring Jim Caveziel.

Hollywood Elites are trying to destroy Sound of Freedom

This is not just a movie, this is a message that we all need to listen too. Protect our children.  "God's children are not for sale".

Its a movie about child trafficking.  They made not like Tim Ballard for obvious reasons but no-one is going to complain about a movie like that

"Disney owned the rights to this film with no plan to release it.  Angel studios bought the rights.  Took it to Amazon, got turned down.  Took it to Netflix, got turned down.  Decided to pre-sell tickets and was able to get it in 2600 theaters and beat out Disney’s Indiana Jones on July 4th.  The film is based on a true story.  “

Not going to get into a theological debate with you but it’s better than Biden and left saying “they’re all of our children” thinking the government owns them

[oldschoolfan]

Disney and warners brothers have take. An ass kicking at the box office this year with there mega budget flops

Ironically Steven Spielberg warned about this 5 or six years ago about the risks of these huge budget movies

I'll probably see this movie before I see Indiana Jones but...

A little context. SOF tickets were presale.

"It turns out that the day of the week that July 4 falls on can have a huge impact on how movies perform at the box office around the holiday. CNBC analyzed box office performance data from Box Office Mojo for the week of July 4 over the past 13 years.

“Most people are going to barbecues and fireworks displays,” said Bruce Nash, founder of Nash Information Services, which tracks the film industry. “So it tends to be very quiet for movies.”

Despite “The Sound of Freedom’s” impressive holiday run, the latest “Indiana Jones” installment, which hit theaters on June 30, is outperforming the anti-child trafficking film overall. “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” has made more than $83 million domestically and more than $154 million worldwide during its first six days on screen, per Box Office Mojo

“The Flash,” which hit theaters on June 16, is also outperforming “The Sound of Freedom” overall. The superhero movie has made more than $101 million domestically and $247 million worldwide at the box office so far, according to Box Office Mojo.

The majority of “The Sound of Freedom” opening day profits came from pre-sales. In a press release sent to the Deseret News, Angel Studios revealed that ‘The Sound of Freedom” topped $10 million in pre-sales ahead of its July 4 theatrical release."


But again, I'm likely to see it rather than Jones. Sounds interesting

That's not how it works.

Indiana Jones made $60 million domestically and $70 million internationally during it's opening week-end.

It's production cost was estimated at $300 million ( when the budget is undisclosed, it usually means it's a VERY expensive movie.)

You also have the prints & advertising budget, which can vary considerably ( conservatively it should be ~ $100million minimum.)

The movie approximarively3 costed $400 million.

Now here's the deal : there is a thing called "multiplier" which is a film's total box office divided by its opening weekend box office.

As a rule of thumb, blockbuster movies typically average a 2,5x , maybe 2,75x multiplier.



Since the studios get 50% of ticket sales domestically and 25% internationally ( not even counting China ) , Indiana Jones' $130 million opening box-office gross means it would need at least need a  MASSIVE 5.5x final multiplier just to cover it’s production and promotional costs.

Those are very rough estimates, but simply put : it's a flop.

It might be... but the last Indiana Jones grossed $800 million worldwide so we'll just have to wait and see. And if it's a flop, no sweat off my brow. But my post in my opinion, gives context to the post I quoted. If you disagree, that's cool.. 
Posting the 11 million vs 14 million.. that gave you zero pause?

I understand the context to your post and yes, I do agree with you.
Since the majority of “The Sound of Freedom” opening day profits came from pre-sales, the July 4 gross collection comparison was nonsense.

However, it does indicate that SOF has already good word-of-mouth and could easily gain traction and make a good profit.

I personnaly don't care about either movies, my point was that a movie's performance isn't based on raw numbers.

Take the Flash, for example. Despite making  $262M at the worldwide box-office, the movie is actually performing VERY poorly.

With a budget of ~$220M and a conservative 2,5x multiplier, it can expect to make $350 million. There is one problem, though ; it needs at leat $600M to break even.

Valid points. At the end of the day, obviously Indiana Jones will have to make a lot more money than SOF due to the cost of making the movies. SOF I hope does very well. I just thought, and you seem to agree, that the post I quoted and responded to intentionally or unintentionally gave a false picture

[Coach is Back!]

IMO, this is exposes Hollywood and the child trafficking coverup even more.

Interesting. Great post.

Interesting. Great post.

and his follow up post that your post was nonsense... great post?

Too soon?

[mops]

Here's a more accurate picture :

$45,668,594 grossed domestically in just 7 days of exploitation. For the sake of the argument, let's say it madr $35,668,594 minus pre-sales ( ~ $10M )

$4M on it's first day, minus pre-sales again, for a budget of $15M.

We'll see if the movie has legs or not ( how well a film holds onto its box office day to day and week to week. )

Excellent start for it's first week.
