St. Louis Metropolitan Police confirmed to Newsweek that Marta, 51, from Chesterfield, Missouri, was charged on July 21, and was arrested on July 23.

A child molester funds a movie about child sex slaves. 6ixStringJack, that is "odd behavior."
You don't know he's a child molester. The article doesn't even claim that he's an alleged child molester. They don't have any details at all about the kidnapping. For all we know he took his own kids back from their abusive mom and step-dad.
But hey... If he was diddling kids, cut his fucking balls off and throw him in the ocean with cement shoes on. I don't protect pedophiles like you regularly do.
Newsweek also finishes the article with this:Quote:That's demonstrably false. Sound of Freedom REGULARLY beat the likes of Indiana Jones and Mission Impossible and thoroughly embarrassed them and their $300 Million and $290 Million budgets with its paltry $14 Million budget at the domestic box office in July.
The production has since shocked industry insiders by competing with—and occasionally beating—the likes of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One at the domestic box office in July.

So do you know anything about Sound of Freedom?
No box office numbers for today and Bruce doesn't have it listed as having any theaters in the United States this weekend.
Even Boxofficemojo.com doesn't show any Domestic numbers for today though it shows $267,670 international.

Still no updates to the Sound of Freedom situation.
There was no Domestic Box Office for it on Wednesday, and it is not on Bruce's Theater Count list for the weekend.
Now he hasn't put a Place for any movies on Wednesday after 6th place, which one could argue is because he's waiting on those numbers before determining what place MI7 and Haunted Mansion got for the day, but he only listed up to 5th place the day before and 6th place on Monday as well, even though Sound of Freedom was on those lists.
I went to Fandango and started an order process for one of the local theaters they have listed as showing it for tonight, and up until the point where you put in your email and credit card information it appears to go off without a hitch.
The AMC nearest me appears to have 2 showings today... both matinee. Looking at surrounding AMC theaters it appears to still be showing in most, but not all of them. The smaller ones that show it appear to have 2 showings per day, both in the morning and early afternoon. Larger ones might have 3 showings. None of them at night. Barbie has gotten as many as 9 showings, and Blue Beetle around 6 or 7.
So it would appear that SoF is still in theaters, so I don't know what's going on here.

Thursday's Numbers:
1. M3GAN - 1,475% [FINAL]
2. Super Mario Bros - 1,358% (+0%)
3. Sound of Freedom - 1,279% (+0%)
4. Insidious: The Red Door - 1,163% (+0%)
5. Talk to Me - 1,111% (+22%)
6. Barbie - 890% (+1%)
SoF needs 80% to beat SMB. (About $12 Million)
SoF needs 197% to beat M3GAN. (About $28 Million)
SoF is 168% above Talk to Me.
SoF is 389% above Barbie.
*NOTE: Sound of Freedom has had no updates to the Domestic Box Office total for 2 days straight now and it is not on Bruce's list for the weekly Theater count at all, despite being in 2,151 theaters on Tuesday and AMC showing that it's still in theaters.
I raised SoF 8% yesterday because it only needed $25k on Wednesday to go up another percentage. I will not change that because BoxOfficeMojo.com reports that it has made over $267k so far internationally, which is much more than it needed to go up anyhow. For now, this daily listing remains in flux for both the strangeness of this situation as well as the spotty reporting of Talk To Me's numbers. And speaking of Talk To Me, it appears that all the Domestic numbers up through Thursday have finally appeared on the lists.
Talk To Me appears to have slowed down quite a bit in the Box Office this week. I had figured that from Monday through Wednesday it would increase by around 36%, but now the numbers through Thursday have come out and it increased only 22% for all 4 days, pulling in about half of what I expected it would. It probably won't rise above Sound of Freedom at any point now unless SoF is actually exiting Domestic theaters this weekend and international numbers are slow to trickle in.
With it's micro-budget and international figures included, Talk To Me should take 4th place from Insidious: The Red Door after international figures come in along with the Weekend Domestic figures.
Even though Barbie has slowed down to the point where it's posted only a 1% gain yesterday, Barbie crushed Blue Beetle by almost $1 Million. 
I wonder if Blue Beetle will lose to Barbie all weekend long and it only gets 3 days on top of the Box Office heap? Isn't that hurricane in LA done, or are we still blaming Blue Beetle's failure on the weather?

Bruce finally posted the numbers for the last two days, so I don't know what happened there. It looks like it still was in 2,152 theaters both days as well. He still hasn't changed the theater counts article and added SoF back in, so maybe when he puts his predictions out tonight it will show up again.
It only made $314k on Wednesday and $246k yesterday, just barely crawling above $179 Million, so nothing in my daily percentage updates are going to change (not that I thought they would).
Since we don't know how many theaters it might lose to make room for the asenine decision to put The Little Mermaid in 1,600 theaters and SMB in over 1,400 theaters, it's hard to make any predictions for the weekend. If it doesn't lose many theaters it might still make the $1.5 Million this weekend it would need to get 2 more percentage bumps and rise to 1,293% without international numbers added in by Sunday.
Bruce still isn't showing any international figures. BoxOfficeMojo.com still shows $267,670 international in 5 countries.

Nope. No new info from the predictions article. Since Bruce only mentions the Top 10 predictions, and he doesn't have Sound of Freedom in the Top 10 this week, that article was no help.
Mission Impossible 7 somehow started beating SoF on a daily basis in the last week by a moderate amount, given how little they're both taking in per day. Haunted Mansionwas sandwitched in between both of them and only beat SoF by around $7k yesterday.
MI7 is gaining 72 theaters for Cinema Day week, and Haunted Mansion is going to lose 550 theaters, and they'll be at 1,680 and 1,630 respectively. On the flip side, The Little Mermaid is going to show in a stupid 1,600 theaters this week and SMB in an equally stupid 1,451 theaters. If I didn't suspect that SoF is going to get bumped hard to make room for those two, I'd say that SoF would normally have dropped to somewhere around 1,500-1,600 theaters this weekend... But who knows.

Bruce did not rank the numbers for Wed or Thurs past the point where SoF might fit in.
All week ling, each week since Talk To Me came out, he cannot rank the films from Monday through Thursday, past the point where TTM might fit in, and sometimes he ranks the weekend based upon projections, but then has had to re-rank after TTM falls short.
So, on Friday TTM showed up for the week, but then it takes him a while to go back and process the rankings for each day - it is not an automatic process, from what I've seen. It can take him a while.
I see that SoF is showing at my local theater every day this week - unless they cancel their specified show times. It is showing once per day for this week, which is the same as Harry Potter, Secret Life Pets, Coraline, Bram Stroker's Ship, TTM, and compared to 1-2 showings per day for DR, 2 per day for SMB and TLM Sing Along, and 3 per day for Jurassic Park, Oppy, WokeSayGay Mansion.

I saw recently that the Producer said the film started shooting in 2015.
Thanks for pointing out that Box Office Mojo posted International figures - I did not know this, nor would have.
I am not familiar with this site, and it does not have decent navigation, and most of the tabs and buttons seem to not work.
I found the $267K figure you mentioned, but nowhere found "in 5 countries" stated.
After poking around there, I found some info.
UAE had $153 K last weekend, in 39 theaters. $ per theater was 6th, less than Barbie in 146, Jailer in 116, Gran Turismo in 67, Oppy in 38.
South Africa had $87.9 K last weekend. SoF has the lowest theater count of the top 6 Films for the weekend. #2 Box Office, and highest $ per theater - more than 2x of Meg 2, which was 4th.
Iceland had $11.9 or $14.7 in 8 theaters. I'm not sure which, that table is unclear. Distributed by Sam Film. #3 ranked, and also #3 in $ per theater, unless counting DR in 1 theater. Widest release is Turtles in 13.
New Zealand had $5.6 K in 3 theaters last weekend, and did not have the yellow-coded "new entry" this week. #5 in $ per theater. Distributed by Icon - address in Australia, I think this is still a Mel Gibson unit.
Lithuania had $5.6 K in 16 theaters, and was ranked #2 in $ per theater. DR also had 16 in 6th week. Widest release was Barbie with 111 theaters.

I fully expect most folk will not have interest in this, but I think it is curious. Not only because Sound of Freedom is such a wonderful film, but also because it is breaking the mold, much like Maverick did last year.
Barbie has been benefitting from strong summer weekday sales, which SMB did not have. (SMB is a Seth Rogan film?) SoF has had strong Saturday and Sunday figures, the days when honest working folk are not working.
Over the weekend, Barbie made 53.0% of it's Production Budget. Sound of Freedom made 54.0% of it's Production Budget.
I m using $14M as the Production Budget figure for Sof, and $100M for Barbie. Barbie's international balances may bounce around, but this table is using the stated observation of 47.5% Domestic and 52.5% International.
All figures not tagged with % are Millions of Dollars.
For Barbie figures, the same figures are both $Millions, but also % of Production Budget.
1st column is Date.
2nd column is SoF Single Day BO.
3rd column is Single Day BO % of Budget.
4th and 5th are Total Cummulative Box Office, and then % of Budget.
6th and 7th are Last 7 Days of Box Office, and then % of Budget. All for Sound of Freedom.
8th column is Barbie single Day Domestic Box Office.
9th column is the % of Budget gain on SoF % for the same day.
10th column is the Total of Barbie's Domestic Box Office.
11th column is the total of the Last 7 Days of Barbie's Domestic Box Office.
12th is the % gain on SoF for the same Last 7 Day period.
13th column - 18th columns are the same things, but for Worldwide Box Office.

Mission Impossible 7 somehow started beating SoF on a daily basis in the last week by a moderate amount, given how little they're both taking in per day. Haunted Mansionwas sandwitched in between both of them and only beat SoF by around $7k yesterday.
MI7 is gaining 72 theaters for Cinema Day week, and Haunted Mansion is going to lose 550 theaters, and they'll be at 1,680 and 1,630 respectively. On the flip side, The Little Mermaid is going to show in a stupid 1,600 theaters this week and SMB in an equally stupid 1,451 theaters. If I didn't suspect that SoF is going to get bumped hard to make room for those two, I'd say that SoF would normally have dropped to somewhere around 1,500-1,600 theaters this weekend... But who knows.
Once again, Bruce isn't getting SoF data... 7:00PM on Saturday night and he still doesn't have SoF numbers up for Friday. BoxOfficeMojo.com does though. According to BOM.com it pulled in $382,003 on Friday night, and still remains in 1,602 theaters. So despite needing to make room for movies that don't deserve the theater counts for Cinema Day week, it appears that SoF wasn't affected. This is the amount of theaters I would have expected it to be playing in given how much less it's making per day right now.
Oh... and how much money did The Little Mermaid with its 1,600 theaters make? $90k
And Super Mario Bros with its 1,451 only made $62k.
Honestly... BOTH of these movies should have been out of theaters weeks ago. If you REALLY wanted to celebrate Cinema Day the right way, you could have split up those theaters and showed real classics this week like Ghostbusters, Aliens and Goonies for $4 on Sunday instead of giving insane theater counts to two movies you know that anybody who wanted to see already saw them.
At least you showed Jurassic Park. I wish it had done better than only $410k in 1,224 theaters to make this a thing that Hollywood did more often, but even with that small take it crushed both TLM and SMB with less theaters.

Yeah... BoxOfficeMojo's site leaves a lot to be desired as far as navigation. But they are a good 2nd source of info sometimes.
