According to Breitbart's John Nolte, the new blockbuster "Sound of Freedom," which delivers a damning exposé of child trafficking, is topping the screen average of "Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning."
"Movies just don't hold on like this anymore, especially movies in wide release. And yet here we are … " Nolte writes.
"After six days in wide release, Dead Reckoning averaged $1,225 per screen in 4,327 theaters on Monday. After 14 days in wide release (that continues to widen), Sound of Freedom averaged $1,517 per screen in more than a thousand fewer theaters: 3,265."
So why is "Sound of Freedom" outpacing the notorious "Mission Impossible" series? According to Nolte, it's just a "well-made movie."
"To begin with," he writes, "by all accounts, it's a well-made movie — and this is everything, the only thing that matters. The Sound of Freedom audience is lost in the story and cares about the characters. Rather than being overbearing, you feel the Christian theme more than you hear it. There's nothing preachy. There's no rhetoric. It's a good movie people enjoy. It's a movie that makes them feel something, and that's when movies work best.
"This is why the corporate media and Hollywood are terrified of Sound of Freedom — it's a good movie. After two decades of striving, right-of-center creators have improved their craft and are producing quality content. Quality is the only thing that will beat Hollywood, and Hollywood knows that."
