Sound of Freedom is one of the biggest movies of the year in the US, but it’ll hit cinemas in the UK and abroad soon – so, here’s all the international release dates you need to know.

2023 is proving to be an unpredictable year at the movies, whether it’s the sleepy box office response to Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Ant-Man 3 becoming one of Marvel’s biggest flops, or The Super Mario Bros Movie exceeding all expectations to sit atop the throne as the highest-grossing movie of the year so far.

Sound of Freedom has been the most unexpected surprise, grossing more than $130 million in the US alone and attracting extraordinary interest and demand all over the country. This month, it’s only been beaten by two other movies so far: Indiana Jones 5 by around $7 million, and Barbie by $84 million.

Curiosity around the film, especially with regard to its several controversies, is at its peak – so, viewers will be happy to know that Sound of Freedom will be coming to a cinema near you soon.

Jared Geesey, senior VP of global distribution for Angel Studios, said in a statement (as per Variety): “Since Sound of Freedom launched in the US, demand has been building around the world in dozens of regions and languages.
