NEW YORK.- Civil WarAlex Garland’s sinister American dystopia, was the film highest grossing in the cinemas of USA y Canada in its second week of release, according to studio estimates on Sunday.
A24’s election-year gamble, the independent studio’s highest-budget film to date, grossed $11.1 million in ticket sales in 3,929 theaters over the weekend. The $50 million film, set in the near future where Texas and California unite in rebellion against a fascist president, has grossed $44.9 million in two weeks.
Its provocative premise and A24’s marketing, which included images of war-torn American cities, helped maintain Civil War in the minds of moviegoers.
But it was a painfully slow weekend in theaters, the kind sure to increase concern over what has so far been a bad year for Hollywood at the box office.
