It was announced on Friday that “Sound of Freedom” from Angel Studios
will add more international dates as the film nears the $200 million
mark worldwide.
The Jim Caviezel-led film, which deals with the horrors of human
trafficking, will now be seen in more than 50 countries on top of the previously announced release of the film on screens in places like
South Africa, Australia/New Zealand, the U.K., and the United States.
“We are thrilled to roll out another list of countries where ‘SOUND OF
FREEDOM’ is doing a theatrical run, this list spans several continents including Europe, South America, Africa, and Asia, and there is even
more to come,” Jared Geesey, senior vice president of Global
Distribution for Angel Studios, said in a press release.

“We’re seeing surging demand for this film around the globe, and we
will continue to make additional announcements in the coming days and
weeks,” he added.
The film has been what many called the sleeper hit of the summer and
remains in 2,100 theaters six weeks after its release on July 4, the
press release noted. It has earned, as of August 30, $181,084,909, Box
Office Mojo noted. And it now “ranks in the Top 10 Box Office Cume for
the year,” the press release added.
“Sound of Freedom” comes from the same studio responsible for the
popular faith-based television series “The Chosen.”
In the movie, which is based on a true story, Caviezel portrays Tim
Ballard, a federal agent who quits his job and embarks on a dangerous
mission to rescue a young girl from sex slavery in South America.
In July, the studio announced that the hit film would be released
globally, appearing in theaters across the world, in Latin American
countries, the U.K., and Ireland between August and October.
“Since ‘SOUND OF FREEDOM’ launched in the US, demand has been building
around the world in dozens of regions and languages,” Geesey said at
the time. “Child trafficking is a global issue, and we hope to build on
the incredible momentum here in the states and share the film’s
powerful message worldwide.”
