Alex Garland’s Civil War continues to do very well at both the domestic and international box office, but the film starring Kirsten Dunst, Cailee Spaeny and Wagner Moura will manage to become the greatest success ever for A24?
Let’s look at the numbers: still leading the box office, even ahead of the surprising return of Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2, the political fantasy thriller had grossed 45.7 million dollars in North America up until Monday’s count and 20 million dollars internationally, for a total of 67.3 million dollars but between Tuesday and Wednesday will have already become 70 million dollars. The film has already set numerous records, having become the first A24 film to debut at number one in the charts and also the first to remain at the top of the box office for two consecutive weeks, and depending on the success of Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers he could hope to remain first in the third week too.
However, after only two weeks of release Civil War is already one of A24’s highest-grossing films: the personal ranking of the famous independent production and distribution studio is led by Everything Everywhere All at Once by Daniels (reaching $143 million), Hereditary by Ari Aster (79 million dollars) and Lady Bird by Greta Gerwig (78 million dollars worldwide), but unlike these top three studio grossers Civil War had the highest budget evera good 50 million dollars (another record for the studio), which means that in this case the producers’ eye will be particularly attentive to the box office figures.
In the end, Civil War is already Alex Garland’s greatest personal success, having grossed more than Annihilation ($43 million) and Ex Machina ($37 million). That’s not counting 28 Days Later ($84 million), which was only written by Alex Garland and directed by Danny Boyle.
