WHEN PLACING YOUR bets on the most successful films of summer 2023, you’d be forgiven for having missed Sound Of Freedom. The movie, billed as the true story of a former Homeland Security agent (The Passion Of The Christ’s Jim Caviezel) who embarks on a mission to rescue a young girl from Colombian child traffickers, comes via faith-based Angel Studios, and was released on Independence Day weekend. Yet the film has been challenging the likes of Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny and Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part 1 in the box-office charts, while playing on far fewer screens. It has grossed over $100 million on a budget of $14.5 million, an out-of-nowhere phenomenon.
