“Sound of Freedom grossed $41.7 million in the first week of its release and opened at No. 1 in Texas, Florida, and Arizona theaters,” he said. “The feature has taken the nation by storm, beating out Disney’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny in July 4th movie ticket sales despite appearing in fewer theaters, securing the top position in the box office for the day.

During Sound of Freedom’s opening week, Trump met with Mel Gibson, who has been a major promoter of the film.

“One of the most disturbing problems in our world today is human trafficking and particularly the trafficking of children,” Gibson said.

Members of Trump’s golf resort in Bedminster, New Jersey, and other supporters will be invited to the screening at the club on Wednesday, the Trump campaign announced in a press release that highlighted the film’s mixed reviews in mainstream media outlets.

The release also touted Trump’s record on human trafficking issues from his time in the White House and noted that one of the film’s producers, Eduardo Verastegui, was a member of Trump’s Advisory Commission on Hispanic Prosperity.

The announcement comes as numerous GOP presidential contenders — most notably Trump’s biggest challenger, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — have zeroed in on children’s safety and connected it to other cultural wedge issues, such as gender fluidity, public education, and LGBTQ matters, corralled under the broad category of “parents’ rights.”

This type of marketing by Trump makes it nearly impossible for any of the other Republicans running against him this election cycle to overtake him in winning the nomination.

Many GOP faithful were hoping Governor DeSantis would have passed in 2024 and instead prepared for a strong 2028 run instead.

After a strong launch, DeSantis is quickly fading.

As a result, Trump appears to have the nomination in the bag, of course pending any unexpected medical or legitimate legal issue popping up.
