After the expectation-defying success of last year’s “Sound of Freedom,” a drama about sex trafficking that took in $249.1 million at the box office last year, Angel Studios is set to release six new titles at CinemaCon — and has its sights set on building a brand in the vein of indie powerhouse A24.
While it chafes at being pigeonholed, the 10-year-old studio — founded by brothers Neal Harmon, Jeffrey Harmon, Daniel Harmon, Jordan Harmon and Benton Crane — has cemented its place in the faith-based genre, releasing films like “Cabrini,” about the life of Catholic saint Francesca Cabrini, and “The Chosen,” about the life of Jesus Christ.
