Box Office: ‘Civil War’ Starts Off With Impressive $2.9M in Thursday Previews
Alex Garland's controversial movie about the political divide in America easily scored the best preview number ever for A24.
BY PAMELA MCCLINTOCK
APRIL 12, 2024 9:18A
Alex Garland‘s dystopian action movie Civil War has started off its North American box office run with an impressive $2.9 million, a record for indie studio and distributor A24.
The $50 million movie about a divided America is a big swing for A24 as it tries to produce bigger movies, and is its most expensive production to date.
Civil War is tracking to open north of $20 million, although one leading tracking service has a slightly lower range of $19 million to $20 million. As with the preview number, that would be record for A24, beating the $13.6 million opening of A24’s horror pic Hereditary in 2018.
A24 and writer-director Garland held the movie’s world premiere last month at the South by Southwest Film and TV Festival, an ideal venue since many of the attendees are younger adults, the film’s target demo.
Set in the near-future, the story follows a wartime photojournalist (Kirsten Dunst) and her colleagues as they make their way across a hostile and divided United States of America that has been torn apart under the authoritarian rule of a three-term president (Nick Offerman). Yet the film shys away from red state/blue state divisions, and the politics behind the conflict are generally left unexplained, other than to say that one of the president’s first first actions was to disband the FBI in an apparent nod to former President Donald Trump, who has called to “defund” the Bureau.
Civil War‘s timing surely isn’t a coincidence as it hits cinemas amid a contentious election year in which President Biden and former President Trump are once again the leading candidates for their respective parties as Trump seeks to return to the White House
At a SXSW panel following the film’s premiere, Garland said it made sense to release Civil War now, although it’s not as if there is anything new about the contentious political discourse gripping the country.
“I think all of the topics in in [Civil War] have been a part of a huge public debate for years and years. These debates have been growing and growing in volume and awareness, but none of that is secret or unknown to almost anybody,” Garland said. “I thought that everybody understands these terms and, at that point, I just felt compelled to write about it.”
Cailee Spaeny, Jesse Plemons and Wagner Moura also star.
2012–2013: Founding and early years
A24 was founded on August 20, 2012, by film veterans Daniel Katz, David Fenkel, and John Hodges. Katz formerly led the film finance group at Guggenheim Partners, Fenkel was the president, co-founder and partner at Oscilloscope, and Hodges served as "Head of Production and Development" at Big Beach. The name "A24" was inspired by the Italian A24 motorway Katz was driving on when he decided to found the company.
Guggenheim Partners provided the seed money for A24. The company was started to share "movies from a distinctive point of view". In October 2012, Nicolette Aizenberg joined as head of publicity from 42West where she was senior publicity executive.
The company began its distribution of films in 2013. The company's first theatrical release was Roman Coppola's A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III, which had a limited theatrical release. Other 2013 theatrical releases included Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring, Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers, James Ponsoldt's The Spectacular Now, and Sally Potter's Ginger & Rosa.
In September 2013, A24 entered a $40 million deal with DirecTV Cinema, where DirecTV Cinema would offer day-and-date releases 30 days prior to a theatrical release by A24; Enemy was the first film to be distributed under the deal. That same year, A24 entered a deal with Amazon Prime, where A24-distributed films would be available on Amazon Instant Video after becoming available on Blu-ray and DVD.
2014–2017: Television and later productions
In May 2015, A24 announced that it would start a television division and began producing the USA Network series Playing House, as well as working to develop a television series that would later become Comrade Detective, produced by Channing Tatum. The company also announced that they would also finance and develop pilots.
In January 2016, Sasha Lloyd joined the company to handle all film, television distribution and business development in the international marketplace. The company, with cooperation from Bank of America, J.P. Morgan & Co. and SunTrust Banks, also raised its line of credit from $50 million to $125 million a month later to build upon its operations. In April, the company acquired all foreign rights to Swiss Army Man, distributing the film in all territories, and partnering with distributors who previously acquired rights to the film, a first for the company. In June, the company, along with Oscilloscope and distributor Honora, joined BitTorrent Now to distribute the work of their portfolio across the ad-supported service.

Behind the scenes of “The Prom”
Tumblr media
During the days when the actual prom scene was shot, the weather varied from drizzle to pouring rain, making makeup, hair, and costumes that much more difficult. Buffy's prom dress was designed by couturier Pamela Dennis, by request from Sarah Michelle Gellar. Gellar could not sit down while wearing the dress. “We looked at Pamela Dennis’ look book, and we came across three that were our favorite, and then the executive producer and Pamela and everyone agreed that this was the one. And I even had the matching clip in my hair to match the brooch. Aly just looks so beautiful and the men look very handsome.” “I feel like that moment in particular has gone down as one of the major moments in sort of the mythology of the series. I remember after it aired someone told me that the monologue had made a friend of theirs cry, and I was like, ‘oh my God.’ I was so overwhelmed. Because I was never a hot actor—physically hot nor hot in demand. It was never easy for me. It was always a struggle—and by struggle, I don’t mean the work, I mean, getting work. And so anytime anyone would say ‘Oh I saw you on Buffy and really liked it,’ it always was so meaningful to me.” -Danny Strong in "Into Every Generation" by Katz

Atlanta Film Festival.
A few highlights (and lowlights) of the Atlanta Film Festival.
Saturday April 23: The Powers That Be
A collection of demented horror shorts including Jaydem Rathsam Hua’s “Sushi Noh”, about a creepy uncle who’s quasi-religious obsession with his niece and Automatic Sushi maker brings them both to grief, and Alex Fofonoff’s “While Mortals Sleep” in which a writer (Carie Kawa) borrowing a friends vacation home during a personal crisis finds all of her problems solved by a deformed baby (imagine the Eraserhead Kid, drawn by Charles Burns and colored in pastels) and the cult that worships it. Also Nicholas D’Augustino’s “Despot” in which a dictator pulls off his skin and demands worship. There are worse ways to ease into Easter Sunday.
Sunday April 25: Boycott. D: Julia Bacha (2022).  
A sobering look at An Arkansas newspaper publisher and a Texas speech therapist fight cookie-cutter anti-boycott legislation to make it a crime to organize against Israel’s treatment against Palestinians. A relatively upbeat ending is balanced by disquiet over how easily legislation restricting free speech can be passed by right-wing radical activists taking advantage of moderate lawmakers myopia.
Monday April 26: A Woman on the Outside. D: Zara Katz  (2022).
Story of an activist/entrepreneur whose work on behalf of prison families takes on new meaning when her father and brother are paroled after long sentences. A look at how the penal system breaks families (Review: #Woman On The Outside)
Also caught the tail end of a group of homegrown shorts including Jasmine Rene’ McCaskill’s “A Homecoming I’ll Remember” that juxtaposes the memories of Pamela McKelvy the first African-American woman to represent Kansas in the MissUSA pageant and thirty years later Zoe Hinds effort to become the first Black Homecoming Queen of her all-white school (Unfocused but interesting look at racial standards of beauty), Frederick Taylor’s “Meet the Team - Taking J-Setting from Underground Clubs to the Main Stage” which is exactly what it says it is (and a vibrant and funny introduction to this LGBTQ dance movement), and Joseph East and Erica Tanamachi’s “Winn” a sad and enraging portrait of Pamela Winn, who lost her baby when she was shackled in prison and her efforts to ban the barbaric restraint process. Most striking was Camilo Diaz’s “Bad Dream” the illustration of a poem that uses a guessing game about infamous killings of African-Americans into a demonstration of how racial violence has become America’s lingua franca.
Tuesday April 26: Emily the Criminal. D: John Patton Ford (2022). 
Aubrey Plaza plays a millennial, saddled with college debt, an (unspecified) felony in her past, and a bad attitude who gets over her head in a credit card scheme and learns to swim the backstroke. It’s a breakthrough for the actress as she uses the sullen rage that fuels her comedic roles to become a noir actress for our time. The film’s climax evokes Angelica Huston in The Grifters and Plaza more than lives up to the evocation.
Thursday April 28: Soul of a Beast. D: Lorenz Merz (2021). 
A beautiful mess. An exquisitely shot international film about a love triangle between three pretty and vapid teens who free zoo animals, mopily cavort around Zurich, and pursue the sulkiness of the gods. An existential look at Generation Z angst. Or something.
Sunday May 1:  
Start the day with a series of animated shorts. Matt Corsillo’s “New Tricks” and Cissi Efraimsson’s “My Ex-Boyfriend” are one joke shots that nail their punchlines. Rymalena’s “People Person” suggests what a day-glo Blade Runner might be like and deserves it’s “flashing lights” warning. Subarna D’s “Mother” Wu-Ching Chang’s “My Grandmother Is An Egg” tell poignant pre-feminist stories about female circumcision and arranged marriages respectively while  Sanjna Bharadwaj’s “Middle Schooler” and Yelyzaveta’s “My Fat Arse and I” find the lighter side of body shaming, while Katarzyna Miechowicz’s “Crumbs of Life” turns our biology into underground comics surrealism. Mikai Geronimo and Josh O’Caoimh’s “Fall of the Ibis King” is a nifty, moody noir set in a theater troupe. Morrie Tan’s the visit puts us in the skin of a daughter trying to connect with her father in an uncaring penal system (a recurring theme throughout the festival). Best of the Lot: Ida Melum’s “Night of the Living Dread” a funny, incisive story of a woman’s confronting her most embarrassing past selves to get an elusive good night’s sleep and Lilian T. Mehrel’ and Danielle Rhoda’s stirring “Musica Quarantena” in which a Covid quarantined Italian town erupts in song (the first pandemic-inspired film I’ve seen though I suspect not the last.). 
Salma’s Home. D: Hanadi Alyan (2022). 
This Jordanian comedy about Salma (Juliet Awad) a struggling baker who finds out Lamia, her ex-husband’s widow (Rania Kurdi) has ben awarded co-ownership of her house, plays like Pedro Almodovar-lite, which isn’t as backhanded a compliment as you might think. The two actresses play specific types, but Awad’s leavens her salt-of-the-Earth role with sarcasm and irony while Kurdi imbues her home invader (who is trying to launch a career as an Instagram influencer) with a depth and pragmatism that keeps her from cartoon villainy. Do the two women eventually bond and form a new kind of family with Salma’s troubled, alcoholic daughter (Sameera Asir)? Of course, but Alyan cuts the feminist fairy tale with spicy tartness. 
Hands That Bind. D: Kyle Armstrong (2021). 
Andy Hollis (Paul Sparks) is an upstanding and valued hired hand on an Alberta farm with a smart and loving wife (Susan Kent), two beloved children and reason to believe his fatherly boss (Nicholas Campbell) will let him take over the land. When those plans are upset by the return of the farmer’s son (Landon Liboiron), a slovenly, mean wastrel it starts a slow descent into madness in both Hollis and the land itself in Armstrong’s revisionist version of the Prodigal Son. The director crams a lot into this movie – mutilated cattle, suggestions of UFOs with echoes to Michael Lesy’s Wisconsin Death Trip, Jim Thompson’s novels and Springsteen’s Nebraska (and for that matter “I See a Darkness” by Will Oldham, who steals his two scenes as a prophetic bartender) – while keeping his focus on Sparks dark portrayal of a betrayed man’s downward spiral in a cursed land.

4/2 Book Deals
Happy Friday, everyone! :) I hope you’ve all had a nice week! I know it’s once again been a hot minute since I’ve managed to make a deals post, so I apologize for that again, but I’m here now with what seems to be a really great selection so I hope that can make up for my absence a little bit. :) How’s everything been going for all of you? I hope you’ve all managed to find some time to relax and get some (I’m sure) much-needed rest and decompression from everything that’s going on right now.
But enough about all that--be sure to have a look at some of the amazing books on sale today! I absolutely love all of Melissa Caruso’s books, so I highly recommend The Tethered Mage, as well as The Diviners! Both of those trilogies are finished, so there’s no waiting for new books if you’re worried about that... just saying. :) I’ve never read Night of the Mannequins, but I’ve really loved the Stephen Graham Jones books I’ve already read, so I think you can’t go wrong with him, probably! Also, I had to add Mr. Popper’s Penguins because I remember reading that in like third grade and it was so cute (or at least.. it used to be. How has it aged??)
Anyway, I hope you’re all having a wonderful week and that your weekend is even better! Happy reading!
