Jim Caviezel\u2019s latest film\u00a0Sound Of Freedom<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 which details the life of former DHS agent Tim Ballard and his fight against child trafficking \u2014 outperformed Disney\u2019s\u00a0Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny<\/em>\u00a0on the July 4 holiday. The small, faith-based studio\u2019s film managed to outperform the final entry in the Harrison Ford saga despite having a fraction of the Disney film\u2019s enormous marketing budget.<\/p>\n

The Angel Studios-distributed film generated plenty of buzz prior to its July 4 opening and has since opened to rave reviews from critics. Sound Of Freedom currently\u00a0holds<\/a><\/p>\n

a 99% approval rating among audiences as well as an 85% mark from critics, giving it an overwhelmingly \u201cfresh\u201d rating on the movie review site Rotten Tomatoes.<\/p>\n

Prior to its official release, the film\u00a0had sold<\/a>\u00a0more than 1,000,000 presale tickets and generated over $1o million in presale revenue, a massive achievement for the faith-based independent studio.\u00a0Sound Of Freedom<\/em>\u00a0has also received endorsements from several high-profile figures, including legendary actor\/director Mel Gibson, who\u00a0urged<\/a>\u00a0fans to see the film in a passionate video statement.<\/p>\n

Sound Of Freedom<\/em>\u00a0received even more encouraging news after figures came in for the film\u2019s official opening. \u00a0On its first day, the movie grossed over $14 million, beating out Disney\u2019s\u00a0Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny<\/em>, which hauled in $11.5 million, according to a\u00a0report\u00a0<\/a>from\u00a0Deadline<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The movie\u2019s success has far surpassed industry expectations, after some pre-release projections expecting the film to gross $11 million over a total of six days.<\/p>\n

As for Indiana Jones, the film represents yet ano ther uphill battle for Disney to turn a profit due to its massive budget. The company has already\u00a0lost more than $890 million<\/a><\/p>\n

on its last eight studio releases, a mark that could surpass the $1 billion mark since the films will head directly to the Disney + streaming service. This means that additional revenue from leasing them out to rivals \u2014 such as Netflix or Amazon \u2014 will not be available.<\/p>\n

The final entry in the Indiana Jones franchise is likewise expected to lose money.\u00a0Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny<\/em>\u00a0is reported to have a budget of $295 million before marketing, while Disney\u2019s recent blockbuster marketing campaigns have surpassed tens-of-millions of dollars.<\/p>\n

Disney\u2019s latest flick will need to haul in $1 billion globally to turn a profit, which is a tall order given upcoming releases it will need to compete with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
