Yes, I've heard of theaters reporting that tickets were being bought online in huge blocs by church groups. But then it seems the tickets aren't being distributed or there isn't enough interest within the church groups because the "sold-out" showings are often far below capacity. |
I went down a rabbit hole of reading some of the reporting by reading some of the reporting by American Crime Journal on OAR and it is deeply disturbing. It implicates in LDS apostles, wealthy Utah business leaders and Utah politicians in corruption and ulterior motives. They took a very dark issue that needs our attention and action and made it even darker. |

What’s with all the CAPS? Are you 80? And the $100 million is hilariously inflated by mega churches and right wing organizations buying out the theaters (with next to nobody actually attending the movie, even for free) and thousands of dim bulbs who bought into their “pay it forward” campaign and paid for yet more tickets to be given away for free, which nobody used. |
| The fact is The Sound of Freedom has so far earned 100 million dollars in profit. Good for them. You conspiracy theorists can stop trying to negate that fact. |
Fascinating. How much of that 100 million dollars was donated to stop child sex trafficking, and where is the accounting of it? Don't you think it's kind of gross to make that much profit from the terrorizing and raping of small children, and then brag about it? |

A large portion of the $100 mill is from the crowd funding (aka grifting) at the end of the movie.
I'd love to see that money go back into fighting child trafficking, but unfortunately it won't. |
| Where is the accounting of each movie production, 16:24? Please share. |
Damn, are there other movies about CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING that are being hyped up as super important on this site? Why are profits more important to you than saving children, if this movie is so super duper important? As for me, I go to watch movies for entertainment, and I don't take that on as an identity. I do, however, work with an at-risk population as a medical provider, screen and identify children for abuse of all kinds (including sexual), and provide both medical care and court testimony when indicated. I also send part of my money to groups like THORN. That's why I go to movies, though. Escape. What do you do to help actual children in terrible situations? |
| That would be a new thread you may start.^^ |
Yeah, crickets. No movie production does this. Too bad, PP. |
What a weird comment. Taken was a popular movie with Liam Neeson about human trafficking. Should they have provided a detailed accounting of the movie production or donated profits to help fight human trafficking? What about other movies based on true events? Should movies about WW2 for example donate their profits to veterans? |
Why do you think lining someone's pockets is more important than stopping child sex trafficking? |
