Indy 5 was released by Disney on this same 4th of July weekend in 4,600 theaters, many of them playing on MULTIPLE SCREENS.
Sound of Freedom was released by Angel Studios in 2,634 theaters, NO multiple screens.
YET SOUND OF FREEDOM MADE OVER $2 1/2 MILLION DOLLARS MORE THAN INDY 5 over the weekend, $14.2 mil to $11.6 mil even though Indy 5 is playing in **almost** 2,000 more theaters in America.
Holy shit.
And here's the thing: Indy 5 is one of those massive big studio summer blockbuster movies. They spent HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars making and advertising it.
Sound of Freedom was shot on a very modest budget, probably under $20 million.
I get that a lot of people don't understand what I'm about to say.
They haven't followed political campaigns since the 1988 race between George W. Bush & Michael Dukakis.
They just follow sound bites, the current news cycle, listen to their authority figures/influencers.

Ron DeSantis had a small window to begin with.
He needed a fantastic campaign launch and big momentum on the campaign trail to begin closing the gap with Trump.
It didn't happen.
The window is now closed.
People who don't understand how the politics of campaigning works think its fine that after his campaign launch and then being on the trail for about a month, DeSantis not only didn't gain any ground, he slid **BACKWARDS**.
As someone who followed the case that led to the coming revocation of his GA law license - a revocation he just avoided by voluntarily surrendering the license via retirement - very few people have any idea of the sheer amount of physical & psychological ABUSE Wood inflicted on… https://t.co/varws8M3zftwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The history of that case showed a man increasingly unstable.
For a time, he kept announcing the law firm was dissolved...then changing his mind. Then announcing he was leaving again. And changing his mind. Again.
Here’s who was just told by this federal judge to cease all contacts with social media companies to encourage or demand censorship of users of the various social media platforms while ‘Missouri v Biden’ is being litigated.
"Testing experimental drugs on human beings against their will is a crime against humanity. Doing it to children is a crime against children. It could never happen in America."
And guess who it was that did these crimes against children in America? Who it was who used experimental drugs on human beings against their will?
Its the same guy who lied to the entire country for the past 3 1/2 about where the C-19 virus came from.
This asshole.
Do you **REALLY** think its all that much of a big step from using unwilling children as your human test tubes for experimental drugs to forcing the mandating of experimental drugs on entire populations of people by threatening their employment?
