The film, which was made with only a $14.5 million budget, saw a 37.2 percent jump in ticket sales, making it the second-most profitable film of the weekend.
It stars Jim Caviezel as former Homeland Security Special Agent Tim Ballard, who forms Operation Underground Railroad , an anti-child-trafficking organization.
"While the entire summer movie box office lineup is underperforming, our small independent film continues to grow week over week. Driven by millions of fans and supporters,has become a national—and soon international—movement for change," Jared Geesey, senior vice president of global distribution at Angel Studios, said in a statement.
The company's head of theatrical distribution, Brandon Purdie, added:"There have only been 10 wide-release movies in box office history that have had a second-weekend increase greater than 35 percent over their opening weekend. All of them achieved this milestone during Christmas. Angel Studios is the only studio to accomplish this feat during the summer blockbuster season."
But the film has been plagued with conspiracy theories that major theater chains such as AMC are suppressing the film at the instruction of Hollywood heavyweights to stop people from watching after multiple screenings had interruptions with technical issues. Adam Aron, CEO of AMC Theatres, has taken to Twitter multiple times to shut down the conspiracy theories since the film premiered on July 4.that we are suppressing attendance for," Aron tweeted this month."Yesterday we showed that movie 3,000 times at our 570 U.S. theatres and more than 100,000 people watched it @AMCTheatres. Misinformation on Twitter is astonishing. Bots? Haters?""Let's put this ridiculous conspiracy theory to bed.
