<p>&#8220;Sound of Freedom&#8221; beat out Taylor Swift&#8217;s &#8220;The Eras Tour&#8221; movie to finish in the top ten of 2023 box office tallies domestically.</p>
<p>The independent film from Angel Studios, which deals with the horrors of human trafficking, made it into the top ten grossing films of the year domestically after earning $184,177,725 by the end of the year, <a href="https://www.christianheadlines.com/contributors/michael-foust/sound-of-freedom-edges-taylor-swift-at-box-office-to-finish-in-top-10-for-2023.html">Christian Headlines</a> reported.</p>
<p>It just edged out Swift&#8217;s concert film which landed in the 11th spot after it scored $179,635,196, per <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/year/2023/">Box Office Mojo</a>.</p>

<p>&#8220;Sound of Freedom&#8221; is based on a true story of Tim Ballard — played by actor Jim Caviezel — a federal agent who quits his job and embarks on a dangerous mission to rescue a young girl from sex slavery in South America.</p>
<p>The movie comes from the same studio responsible for the popular faith-based television series &#8220;The Chosen.&#8221;</p>
<p>The film became the sleeper hit of the summer after it opened in select theaters across the country on July 4 and ended up earning $19 million at the box office opening weekend.</p>
<p>The movie beat out films with much larger budgets like the next installment in the Indiana Jones franchise, &#8220;Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny,&#8221; which earned $174 million for Disney — and Tom Cruise’s &#8220;Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One,&#8221; which finished the year earning $172 million domestically, the outlet noted.</p>
<p>Its success also makes it the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sound-of-freedom-director-talks-possible-sequel-following-films-success">highest grossing independent film</a> since 2019’s &#8220;Parasite.&#8221;</p>
<p>Producer Eduardo Verastegui previously told <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/sound-freedom-filmmaker-hit-faith-based-thriller-movie-movement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox and Friends</a> he put his life on hold over the last eight years into making the film.</p>
<p>&#8220;I put my life in this movie because this movie is bigger than ourselves,&#8221; Verastegui said.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was praying to God for an angel to come and rescue this film,&#8221; he added. &#8220;And what are the odds that from all the studios, the one that picked this movie is called Angel Studios?&#8221;</p>
<p>Topping the list of domestic box office winners of 2023 was &#8220;Barbie&#8221; with $636 million, &#8220;The Super Mario Bros Movie&#8221; with $575 million and in third place the animated hit &#8220;Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse,&#8221; which earned $381 million domestically.</p>
<p>Rounding out the top five highest grossing films domestically was the final conclusion in the &#8220;Guardians of the Galaxy&#8221; franchise, &#8220;Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,&#8221; which did $358 million and was the most successful superhero film of the year — and in fifth place was the hugely popular &#8220;Oppenheimer,&#8221; which made $326 million at the domestic box office.</p>
