Angel Studios--the audience-driven platform and studio empowering filmmakers to crowdfund, create, and distribute films--is announcing its latest release, Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot, has over-performed opening-weekend projections. The film, which was approved by the Angel Guild, has earned the #4 spot for its July 4 opening with $3.5M in box office receipts, making it the second largest opening for a film in the young studio's history, following last year's blockbuster Sound of Freedom.
Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot is also one of only 2% of films that achieved the prestigious A+ CinemaScore.
"We are thrilled with how audiences have shown up and responded to Sound of Hope, even during a busy holiday weekend," said Brandon Purdie, EVP and Head of Theatrical Distribution at Angel Studios. "Sound of Hope is more than a movie. This true story of 22 families that changed the course of the lives of 77 vulnerable children has sparked a movement. We are confident that the film will continue to grow and impact audiences, so no child will be without a home."
Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot, follows Donna and Reverend Martin as they ignite a fire in the hearts of their rural church to embrace kids in the foster system that nobody else would take. By doing the impossible--adopting 77 children--this East Texas community proved that, with real, determined love, the battle for America's most vulnerable can be won.
