Anyone surprised?
While the title of the story is interesting, this tidbit was buried further down:
Sound of Freedom" surprised critics by smashing box office projections, grossing more than $150 million so far. The film had a $14.5 million budget. Social media users have suggested that the film is using “astroturfing,” a practice of buying up hundreds of tickets to make theaters appear sold out, to inflate its success.
Several TikToks have gone viral showing “Sound of Freedom” theaters that were supposedly sold out completely empty once the movie begins.
That’s how a ton of politicians “NYT best sellers” books are done. They’ll use campaign funds to buy up a ton of books and then give them out for free at rallies and shit.
But they also put a dagger next to it to denote a bulk sale.

Every right wing accusation is a confession
Once again, the call comes from inside the house.
I haven’t seen the film or heard much about it, only seen a preview before gaurdians but
How is this film QAnon-adjacent?
(and how is it that anti-pedophilia is now only a right wing thing when the church has been fucking children for decades? dont let em have it…)
This whole anti pedophilia thing coming from the right is just projection. They assume everyone else is one because they are.
“You know how I know you’re gay? Only a gay dude would assume that everyone else is naturally gay.”
So is your take that child trafficking isn’t a thing or it’s just not something that should be worried about?
They’re saying the right need to leave trans people and drag queens alone because they’re far from the problem when it comes to pedophilia and trafficking.
A lot of the cast and crew and people who endorsed the movie are very into the whole Qanon thing, including Tim Ballard, the real guy the movie is about. The movie itself doesn’t actually promote any of that, though, (or at least, not that I could tell) and a good chunk is based on a real sting operation. There’s a lot of fiction, as is the case with most ‘based on a true story’ movies, though. And I haven’t checked, but I’m kind of suspicious of the charity they encourage you to donate to during the credits.
It’s not. The media keeps wanting to make it so. There’s nothing Qanon about it. Jim Caviezel is a proponent of Qanon conspiracies, and that’s its only connection.
I know she can be “controversial” here, but Shoe0nHead did a video on it.
No way!
