Sound of Freedom astroturfed. Sold out theaters without a single person in attendance.
Sound of Freedom is being astroturfed. Very few people is actually viewing it compared to the ticket sales numbers. “Buy a ticket so someone else can see it for free” was a grift designed to cash in on a movie that sat on a shelf for 5 yrs. A theater owner said that 7 out of 9 showings were sold out in a single day. A total of 7 people showed up that day to see the movie across all 9 viewings.

Social media users reacted to Sound of Freedom’s makers’ claims of being sold out
As more and more people talked about the makers astroturfing, social media users were shocked by the false claims. While the movie in itself is based on a controversial QAnon conspiracy theory, the astroturfing claims have made it even more controversial.
As @GeoRebekah posted her video with the proof of the theatre being empty, here is how social media users reacted:
There's a lot of hype around the Sound of Freedom. We keep hearing how HUGE it is, despite the involvement of so many far right extremists
