EXCERPT:
Even as leftists denounced all of the patriotism in the air over the weekend, millions of Americans nevertheless celebrated the incredible milestone of America’s 250th anniversary.
And one popular way to do that involved heading to the cinema to watch the latest live-action film from Angel Studios.
As Deadline reported, “Young Washington” opened to such a strong reception that the studio is already pursuing a sequel:
MONDAY AM: Angel Studios overshot its cannon Sunday when it came to the opening for Young Washington: The opening wasn’t $20.8M, rather $19.3Mafter a lower-than-expected Sunday of $4.1M (versus $5.6M). That’s still a debut to be proud about for the Jon Erwin-directed indie historical epic, ahead of its $15M industry opening forecast.
The revised figure makes Young Washington the second-best 3-day for Angel Studios after Sound of Freedom‘s $19.6M in 2023 and the third-best opening for the values-based distributor after David ($22M last year) and Sound of Freedom. All eyes will be watching how this Wonder Project and 2521 Entertainment project legs out. Sound of Freedom was a huge surprise at the 2023 summer box office, posting a 9.3x multiple of its Friday-Sunday take.
