“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. 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. Seeing this film has become a must thanks to incredible word-of-mouth,” Brandon Purdie, Head of Theatrical Distribution at Angel Studios, said in Sunday’s press release.

“We’re deeply grateful to AMC, Cinemark, Regal, and all our theater partners—and their hard-working theater staff members—for working with us to accommodate the surging demand for this film and having the courage to release SOUND OF FREEDOM during the busiest movie season of the year,” he continued.

According to the release, the film is showing in 2,850 theaters and is projected to bring in nearly $20 million for the weekend — bringing the total box office haul to an estimated $40 million.

Box Office Mojo offered similar numbers, showing the domestic earnings for “Sound of Freedom” as just over $18 million for the weekend and slightly more than $40 million in total.

Ratings site Rotten Tomatoes showed strong numbers as well, with a 76% tomato-meter from critics and a 99% audience score.

The film follows the harrowing true story of a federal agent who, after rescuing a boy who was being trafficked, quits his job in order to track down and rescue the boy’s sister in South America.

Former New Jersey Governor and current Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie tore into U.S. Attorney David Weiss over the weekend over the plea deal that was offered to President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter.

Hunter Biden, who has been facing a multi-year investigation by officials, negotiated a deal with Weiss last month. Hunter will plead guilty to failing to pay about $100,000 in taxes for 2017 and for failing to pay a similar amount for 2018. The tax charges Hunter faces are misdemeanors.

He is expected to not face any jail time and to be given two years of probation.

The 53-year-old will also reportedly enter a diversion program upon admitting the illegal purchase of a firearm in 2018. The gun charge could be revoked from his record upon completion of the diversion program, according to sources who spoke with the Post.

Christie responded to the deal during an interview on Fox News’ “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream.

“U.S. Attorney [David] Weiss has to explain himself and he has to explain himself in public,” Christie said. “You know, the fact is that this investigation of Hunter Biden in Delaware is either a lie or it’s incompetent. There’s no way that it should take five years to get to a two-count misdemeanor tax plea and then to dismiss the gun charges.”

Christie lambasted Democrats for pushing for more gun control while refusing to “even enforce the gun laws that exist,” which he said Hunter Biden “should have been charged under.”

“So either David Weiss is incompetent in taking five years to do that, or he’s not telling the truth,” Christie added. “And [Attorney General] Merrick Garland is not telling the truth. Either way, there’s a lot more work to be done on this case.”
