Critics say “Sound” performs into wild QAnon conspiracy theories a couple of pedophilic worldwide cabal that kidnaps kids and harvests their blood.
Commentators on the conservative broadcaster Fox Information, in the meantime, have pushed again towards detractors among the many “liberal media.”
Angel Studios denies that its movie warps the reality, although Caviezel and Ballard have each embraced some excessive QAnon claims.
Regardless of the controversy, or maybe due to it, the movie introduced in $27 million over the weekend, bringing its whole as much as $85 million thus far.
