Claim: purports AMC is preventing moviegoers from seeing the new film, 'Sound of Freedom' (Video, 2023-07-12)
Evidence (2023-07-14): One TikTok user in North Carolina posted a video that has now been viewed over 10 million times, accusing AMC of "pulling some sketchy crap" for refunding her ticket because the theater’s air conditioning was broken, implying that they meant to drive audiences away. "There was air conditioning in the hallways, there was air conditioning in the bathrooms. Not in the theaters?" she said. "I smell something stinky, and I think it’s shit." In another TikTok, viewed 5 million times, a couple alleges that not only was the AC out at their AMC theater showing of Sound of Freedom, but the theater lights were left on for the entire presentation. "They don’t want you to see this movie," the user says. A third viral TikTok purports to show an audience that had been evacuated for an unspecified emergency. The comment sections on each clip are packed with reports of the same or similar problems, including reels that cut out and sound lowered to inaudible volume.
Claim: purports AMC is preventing moviegoers from seeing the new film, 'Sound of Freedom' (Video, 2023-07-12)
Evidence (2024-09-28): The team behind Sound of Freedom has remained silent so far on new allegations involving Tim Ballard, who is portrayed in the movie as a hero by Passion of the Christ’s Jim Caviezel. [...] It is the movie the "woke Nazis at CNN, the Washington Post and the Guardian" supposedly don’t want you to see, as well as the plucky little indie that has beaten giant franchises such as Mission: Impossible and Indiana Jones at the US box office. But although Sound of Freedom has, as of this weekend, taken nearly $178m (£139m), it is a particularly unlikely "surprise smash hit of the summer". Had it been released five years ago, as originally intended, this mid-budget thriller might have sunk without trace. Instead, it has struck gold in these politically polarised, conspiracy-theory-addled times, boosted by Donald Trump, Fox News and the religious right, not to mention adherents of the wacko QAnon conspiracy theory. After its triumphant US run,...

Evidence (2023-07-14): By presenting similar dubious allegations about connections between the film’s makers and QAnon, CNN tried to deter viewers from watching Sound of Freedom. The CNN anchor insinuated that the film has the "kernel of truth that feeds the QAnon conspiracy." [...] Moviegoers allege desperate attempts to hinder the screening of Sound of Freedom in theatres Several videos have gone viral on social media, implying that people were being pushed out of watching Sound of Freedom at AMC Theatres and Regal Cinemas venues in various ways, Newsweek reported. One TikTok user claimed that her theatre was evacuated without explanation, while another reported that the air conditioner in their showing was damaged, making it "unbearably hot." The claims, however, were denied by AMC CEO Adam Aron.

Evidence (2023-07-17): AMC CEO Adam Aron denounced the conspiracies on Twitter and highlighted that "more than ONE MILLION people have watched Sound of Freedom at AMC Theatres." Angel Studios’ head of theatrical distribution also came to Aron’s defense, saying that rumors that AMC has tried to make it difficult for moviegoers to see Sound of Freedom are inaccurate. "We understand there are rumors—predominantly in social media—that AMC theaters have made it difficult for fans to see SOUND of FREEDOM in local AMC theaters, and we want to make it clear these rumors are not accurate," said Brandon Purdie. "AMC has been an outstanding partner for Angel Studios, and in fact, as a result of the movie’s performance and consumer demand, AMC has agreed to add additional screens for SOUND OF FREEDOM this weekend."
Claim: purports AMC is preventing moviegoers from seeing the new film, 'Sound of Freedom' (Video, 2023-07-12)
Evidence (2023-08-02): On Aug. 1, 2023, a purported celebrity news YouTube channel named Just In (@JustInCeleb) published a new video with a thumbnail image that showed Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey and the poster for "Sound of Freedom," a film centered on child sex trafficking. The thumbnail also displayed the words, "All Sold Their Soul!," an apparent quote that referenced the video's title, "Hollywood PANICS As Matthew McConaughey Provides SOLID Evidence Of Their Dark Side." However, we found no evidence that McConaughey had ever publicly spoken about "Sound of Freedom," nor did we locate documentation that showed he had said the quote about people in Hollywood having "all sold their soul."
Claim: purports AMC is preventing moviegoers from seeing the new film, 'Sound of Freedom' (Video, 2023-07-12)
Evidence (2023-07-15): Angel Studios’ Sound of Freedom continues to ring loudly at 3,265 theaters with a second Friday of $6M (+15%), a second weekend between $20M-$22.5M, and running cume that could reach $81M by EOD Sunday. This Jim Caviezel thriller is bound for a $100M-plus gross. Rivals are even betting substantially more. [...] Meanwhile, Angel Studios’ Sound of Freedom continues to wow. The pic posted daily middays of $4M+, out-pegging Sony/Stage 6 Films/Blumhouse’s Insidious: The Red Door every day. The latter pic took No. 1 last weekend with $33M. On Thursday, Sound of Freedom grossed an estimated $4.5M, +4% over Wednesday. Pic’s last seven days grossed $36.5M for a running total of $58.5M. Angel Studios released a statement yesterday, squashing rumors that AMC has made it difficult for patrons to see the movie. That’s fake news, with the circuit selling more than 1 million tickets so far for the Jim Caviezel thriller. The pic is getting 450 theaters added to the current count of 2,852 theaters. [...] Sound of Freedom is looking at second place with $3.9M and a running total of $53.4M. That daily gross is holding steady with Monday and Tuesday. Very impressive.

[...] In conclusion, QI believes that Aimee Lehto should receive credit for the passage beginning with "Impossible is just a big word thrown around". The forceful final line, "Impossible is nothing", should be credited to Boyd Coyner. The Muhammad Ali misattribution occurred because he was featured prominently in an Adidas ad blitz, and sometimes the words were printed on his picture. The words were also printed on the images of other athletes, but the true creators were ad copy professionals.
