Saw Young Washington. Wasn’t sure if it’s being overhyped out of patriotism, so I kept expectations modest. Welp, turns out it’s actually a great movie. Loved it. Underhyped. A favorite of the year so far. Excited for the just announced sequel, titled 1776.

Angel Studios' historical drama "Young Washington" far exceeded pre-release expectations over the July Fourth weekend, prompting director Jon Erwin to announce a sequel before the film's opening weekend had even finished: tinyurl.com/5hy7cr85

The patriotic movie of the year already has a sequel in the works.
Young Washington director Jon Erwin said on his company’s social media account over the weekend that his team had begun work on a sequel, titled 1776, that will continue the story of America’s first president and offer moviegoers “another incredible chapter in this man’s life and legacy.”
It will be, he pledged, “another Revolutionary War epic.”
Young Washington shocked box office observers over the Fourth of July weekend, far outperforming projections with an estimated $20.8 million debut and more than doubling the $9.6 million earned by DC’s Supergirl, despite expectations that the two films would battle for third place. Instead, Young Washington easily finished third overall, trailing only Minions & Monsters ($36.4 million) and Toy Story 5 ($31 million).
Most box office forecasters projected Young Washington to open with a gross in the low to mid teens.

Celebrate America’s 250th birthday at the box office!!! There’s a lot of great choices this weekend. But considering it’s July 4 weekend I humbly suggest “Young, Washington.” I was actually blown away. The movie is incredible. Like Braveheart for Americans. Jon Erwin crushed it. William Franklin Miller did a great job as young Washington. Remember the name! A star is born! The movie is awesome! Way to go!!
