Alex Garland's new provocation has just trumped Hereditary as the small studio's biggest opening to date

Although film company A24 has built up a pretty remarkable reputation for itself over its 12 years of existence—winning 16 Oscars , including the sweep executed by Everything Everywhere All At Once last year—it’s still pretty niche, as far as money-making goes. Now, though, the studio is set to have its biggest opening weekend since it, well, opened, with Deadline reporting that Alex Garland ’s provocative new thriller Civil War will bring in at least $24 million, and possibly more, this weekend.

But it’s extremely good for A24, whose previous opening was 2018's Hereditary, which opened at $13.5 million. And it’ll be enough to beat Godzilla and Kong for at least this particular weekend, since that film has been in theaters for two weeks at this point. Civil War has garnered relatively strong reviews for its efforts to tell a story about the United States violently turning against itself, as well as performances from acting power couple Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons.
