A child molester funds a movie about child sex slaves. 6ixStringJack, that is "odd behavior."

Possible hit job. They can't verify anything that they've claimed.

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:

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.

They just turned black for the weekend.
Sunday SoF jumped up to highest take per screen, beating Indy5 and Red Door. It was estimated behind Red Door.

Also, every single day since release, SoF has more $ per screen that Indy5.
Even when it added more than 13% more theaters for the weekend.

Will DR Domestic BO ever catch up to SoF?

DR is $11.6M behind SoF in Domestic BO, and falling.

Wednesday TMNT took a bite out of some Box Office takes.

I suspect Mansion won't have higher $ Per theater than SoF for Wednesday.


My suspicion failed. WokeSayGay Mansion dropped to $492 per theater, in it's 6th day of release. But SoF dropped more than I expected, to $458 per screen.
I do still feel confident that Mansion will fall below SoF for Sat and Sun.

Sof earned 11% of it's Production Budget. Barbie earned almost 13% from Domestic BO, likely 27% Worldwide.
SoF earned 150% of it's Budget in the past 7 days, Barbie did $157M Domestic in the last 7 days, which would be 157% of Budget, and likely 320% Worldwide.


Today marks the 31st day in release, and it will likely be ranked 4th or 5th. Others have done this, but not really while up against Barbenhiemer.

I do wonder how well SoF will fare in Mexico and Spain - Hispanics seem to be going in droves (anecdotally inferred, I have not seen this directly)

Regarding International figures at The Numbers, I keep seeing the heaviest markets with reporting dates within a day or 2. I have not kept track of the actual figures reported from day to day, but if the reporting dates really are each day, then the fluctuation should not be all that much. Maybe Bruce Wokenash just uses Woke Math - like Fake Math, aka Lib Math.
Woke Math, Fake Math, Libtard maths do not reflet reality. Only REAL MATH reflects reality.
WokeSayGay mansion is from Disney. I had liked the cast, but won't see it pollute my mind from Pedophiles of Disney. I thought about feeling bad about their plight, but far worse was already done with Wind River, which was fully completed and ready for distribution before the Dist rights were aquired by Weinstein, and then the next year it was blacklisted because of the association with him. Best film of the year.


Yesterday SoF only gained 10% of it's budget - the lowest take in it's entire release. The past 7 days it has only made almost $20M (about 140%), it's lowest span, and also what it was expected to make in it's first 6 days of release. This is on it's 31st day of release.
Talk To Me figures came out today instead of yesterday, so I had to change the numbers on my listing.
Barbie made $11.8M (11.8%) Domestic, so about 25% Worldwide for the day. And almost $148M Domestic in the past 7 days (148%), so about 306% Worldwide.

SoF is now 6th place on the All-time list for Real Stories genre, with no others newer than 5 years higher. And, really, Pearl Harbor? Fake love story with Baffleck?

SoF needs 243% to beat SMB.
SoF needs 362% to beat M3GAN.
SoF is 285% above Barbie.

... But in actuality, Barbie has almost certainly made another 60% to 76% from International figures on Monday through Thursday that aren't yet updated, putting Barbie somewhere around 897% and only 217% behind SoF.

This weekend will tell us a lot about the future of SoF in the Domestic market. It lost over 400 theaters as reported last night. My guess is that it will make about another $6 to $7 Million this weekend, or 43% to 57% depending on how the rounding falls. The percentage loss it had last night will actually be beneficial to it this weekend since it was so close to rolling up instead of rolling down to the closest million.

It's looking less and less likely that SoF will end the year on top without good international numbers.

--------------------------------------------------

How you do anything is how you do everything.



Despite the loss of 400+ theaters, Bruce remains more optimistic than I do about SoF's chances this weekend. His model has $9,020,00 predicted for 6th place, right behind Haunted Mansion's $10,500,000.

If that's true, it won't be long until SoF overcomes another mega-budget Disney movie.

So far with $2,200,072 projected on Friday, the high end of my guess at $7 Million sounds reasonable. it's probably not going to do $9 Million this weekend.




I'll update the dailies now even though it's all just projection.

As I thought, Super Mario Bros is still in the theaters with a count of 152. Some international numbers must have come in because rounding up it now hit 1,357%. It made $10k domestic last night, so chances are pretty good that it doesn't move up beyond that since it would need another $750k to go up again.

No new international numbers for Insidious yet, and it's making so little in the states now that with rounding it has had 2 straight days at 0% gains.

No new international numbers for Barbie either. $17M projection last night.


1. M3GAN - 1,475%
2. Super Mario Bros - 1,357%
3. Sound of Freedom - 1,136% (+22%)
4. Insidious: The Red Door - 1,100% (+0%)
5. Barbie - 846% (+17%)


SoF needs 222% to beat SMB.
SoF needs 340% to beat M3GAN.
SoF is 290% above Barbie.

Benefiting from rounding today after being hurt by it yesterday, SoF is back to 290% above Barbie.

... But in actuality, Barbie has almost certainly made another 77% to 98% from International figures on Monday through Friday that aren't yet updated, putting Barbie somewhere around 934% and only 202% behind SoF.

Days in July that SoF beat MI7: 3 days in a row (06/19-06/21) and then 9 days in a row (06/23-06/31), for a total of 12 out of 21 days they were both in the theater in July.

Not only that, it's going to beat both of those movies every single day for the rest of their runs, and it will have the hig

SoF needs 243% to beat SMB.
SoF needs 362% to beat M3GAN.
SoF is 285% above Barbie.

... But in actuality, Barbie has almost certainly made another 60% to 76% from International figures on Monday through Thursday that aren't yet updated, putting Barbie somewhere around 897% and only 217% behind SoF.

This weekend will tell us a lot about the future of SoF in the Domestic market. It lost over 400 theaters as reported last night. My guess is that it will make about another $6 to $7 Million this weekend, or 43% to 57% depending on how the rounding falls. The percentage loss it had last night will actually be beneficial to it this weekend since it was so close to rolling up instead of rolling down to the closest million.

It's looking less and less likely that SoF will end the year on top without good international numbers.
-------------------------------------------------
How you do anything is how you do everything.

Despite the loss of 400+ theaters, Bruce remains more optimistic than I do about SoF's chances this weekend. His model has $9,020,00 predicted for 6th place, right behind Haunted Mansion's $10,500,000.

If that's true, it won't be long until SoF overcomes another mega-budget Disney movie.
--------------------------------------------------
How you do anything is how you do everything.

So far with $2,200,072 projected on Friday, the high end of my guess at $7 Million sounds reasonable. it's probably not going to do $9 Million this weekend.


I'll update the dailies now even though it's all just projection.

As I thought, Super Mario Bros is still in the theaters with a count of 152. Some international numbers must have come in because rounding up it now hit 1,357%. It made $10k domestic last night, so chances are pretty good that it doesn't move up beyond that since it would need another $750k to go up again.

No new international numbers for Insidious yet, and it's making so little in the states now that with rounding it has had 2 straight days at 0% gains.

No new international numbers for Barbie either. $17M projection last night.

1. M3GAN - 1,475%
2. Super Mario Bros - 1,357%
3. Sound of Freedom - 1,136% (+22%)
4. Insidious: The Red Door - 1,100% (+0%)
5. Barbie - 846% (+17%)


SoF needs 222% to beat SMB.
SoF needs 340% to beat M3GAN.
SoF is 290% above Barbie.

Benefiting from rounding today after being hurt by it yesterday, SoF is back to 290% above Barbie.

... But in actuality, Barbie has almost certainly made another 77% to 98% from International figures on Monday through Friday that aren't yet updated, putting Barbie somewhere around 934% and only 202% behind SoF.
--------------------------------------------------
How you do anything is how you do everything.

Based upon the green numbers projected at the moment, I still expect SoF to do $8-10M this weekend.

This $2.2M for Friday is 16% of budget, and the last 7 days is $18.3M for about 131%
Barbie green number is $17M, for 17% on the day, and almost $136M for the past 7 days Domestic, or 136% Domestic. International figures have remained at $422M for at least 3 days now. But extrapolation for Worldwide Box Office has likely gained 36% for the day and 286% for the past 7 days.

SoF has passed Domestic Box office totals for Elemental, Transformers, and DR never caught up. If trends remain, within 7 days SoF will bypass Domestic BO for indy5.

Bruce predicts Barbie will fall 28% and SoF will fall 30%.
I think these numbers are swapped.
Friday green numbers show 41% drop from prior Friday, and SoF with 42% drop. I expect SoF to be stronger on Sat and Sun than Barbie, whe

If this linky works

It reports SoF budget was $14.5M - however this is certainly a Fake News site, and perhaps their Maths are prejudiced.

The article also reports International release dates.

18 Aug
South Africa

24 Aug
Australia, New Zealand

31 Aug
Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Belize, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Costa Rica

1 Sep
UK, Ireland

11 Oct
Spain



Other than Brazil, France, Italy, Germany, China, the biggest markets seem to be covered. Some of those likely need greater translation or dubbing, since most of the cast already spoke Spanish.
