A24’s latest film “Civil War” is poised to make a splash at the box office this weekend, with Thursday previews already raking in an impressive $2.9 million. Directed by Alex Garland, the film is aiming to have the highest opening weekend ever for an A24 movie.
With projections estimating a potential $20 million opening weekend, “Civil War” could potentially dethrone the current No. 1 movie at the box office, “Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire.” The current record for the highest opening weekend for A24 is held by “Hereditary,” which made $13.6 million in 2018.
Costing around $50 million to make, “Civil War” is the most expensive A24 movie to date. The film stars Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, and Cailee Spaeny as wartime journalists reporting on a deadly civil war in the United States. Joining them are Nick Offerman, Stephen McKinley Henderson, and Jesse Plemons.
Fans of A24 films are eager to see how “Civil War” will perform at the box office and how it will be received by critics. Stay tuned for more updates on this highly anticipated release from the acclaimed studio and director.
