WATCH: 'Sound Of Freedom' Star Jim Caviezel Praises Fans For Massive Show Of Support Despite Media's Attempted Silencing

Over the weekend, actor Jim Caviezel, the star of 'Sound of Freedom,' took to Twitter to thank fans for their support of the blockbuster film after over two million tickets were sold across the country following its launch on July 4th.

The 'Passion of the Christ' actor began the video by voicing his support for those who worked to make the movie great, notably those at the production company Angel Studios.

"Saving children should never be a controversy. It should be the quickest thing that any of us would ever do," the actor said. “I’ve always said do you want to be liked by many, the world, Hollywood, or do you want to be loved by one, which is God." 

“Because love doesn’t come from man it comes from above," Caviezel continued, as reported by The Daily Wire. "So I'm sitting here thinking about all you amazing Americans that are fighting the battle and helping us in this war against the greatest evil that has ever been."

"You know that God's children are not for sale. I want to thank you all for helping us reach two million tickets and thanks for not letting the media silence us," the actor concluded, adding, "Your voices are heard. I love you."

As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, Caviezel has explained that he feels blessed to have been chosen to be the lead in the film, explaining, "This is a good versus evil story. This is a battled hero story. I was very blessed that I go the opportunity, just as I was blessed to do 'The Passion of the Christ."

Angel Studios issued a press release on Sunday that informed moviegoers that, thanks to their support, the movie is projected to garner $40.2 million after a successful opening week that saw $18.2 million in ticket sales following its release on July 4th.

“As with our July 4th numbers, today’s numbers exceed our expectations, and we’re going to continue this momentum," Head of Theatrical Distribution Brandon Purdie said about the film's success. "SOUND of FREEDOM has taken on a life of its own."

"We’re getting messages from all over the country telling us about packed theaters, sold-out theaters, and spontaneous standing ovations for the film in numerous locations," Purdie continued. "Seeing this film has become a must thanks to incredible word-of-mouth."

“We’re deeply grateful to AMC, Cinemark, Regal, and all our theater partners—and their hard-working theater staff members—for working with us to accommodate the surging demand for this film and having the courage to release SOUND OF FREEDOM during the busiest movie season of the year," the Angel Studios executive concluded.

'Sound of Freedom' is sweeping the country and Americans everywhere are heading out to the theater to see the important film.
