It raked in a whopping $25.7 million across 3,838 screens in its opening weekend, surpassing expectations and previous predictions that it might have a close contest with “Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire,” which came in second with $15.45 million. Despite receiving a “B-” CinemaScore and a 76% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, “Civil War” drew in a predominantly male audience, with the largest group being adults aged 18-34. This film, directed by Alex Garland, explores a near-future America in turmoil with several states attempting to secede violently, capturing the biggest opening weekend ever for A24.
