The box office is abuzz with the success of the dystopian thriller 'Civil War,' which has made a strong debut by earning $10.7 million from 3,838 locations on its opening day and preview screenings. The film is on track to achieve a debut of around $26 million, marking the highest opening day gross ever for A24, surpassing the previous record set by 'Hereditary' in 2018.
'Civil War' has received a boost in sales from being shown in premium-large format auditoriums like Imax. The film, directed by Alex Garland, is also the most expensive project in A24's history, with production costs of $50 million, in addition to marketing and distribution expenses.
