The Big Picture The indie outfit A24, which arguably has more cultural influence in mainstream Hollywood than any other movie studio right now, proved its worth at the domestic box office this weekend. One of the studio’s first major box office plays, writer-director Alex Garland’s dystopian thriller Civil War, opened to record numbers, outperforming recent films targeted at similar demographics such as Killers of the Flower Moon and Napoleon.
Civil War debuted nearly two times higher than the previous top-opener for A24 — director Ari Aster’s Hereditary, which made $13 million in its first weekend. Hereditary remains the studio’s third-biggest release of all time, having grossed $81 million worldwide. The top two slots on this list are currently occupied by the horror hit Talk to Me and the Oscar-winner Everything Everywhere All at Once .
