Read more about the weekend box-office after the jump.
A24's "Civil War" topped the charts with $25.7 million from 3,838 theaters, a record-breaking debut for both the studio and the film's director Alex Garland. A24's previous highest opener was "Hereditary" in 2018 with $13.5 million, while for Garland it was 2015's "Ex Machina" with $5.3 million. The film's budget is reportedly around $50 million. "Civil War" was praised by critics (83% on Rotten Tomatoes), but the audience reception was lukewarm ("B-" CinemaScore).
