“Sound of Freedom” — a movie about child sex trafficking, which has been hailed by Republicans and QAnon believers — was the second most-watched film in North America last weekend, behind “Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning,” and has made $90.7 million as of Monday, the New York Times reports.
One of the movie’s stars has promoted baseless QAnon theories and Donald Trump has hosted a private screening of the movie at his golf club.
