is finally here! On May 7, the war-themed movie "Civil War" was confirmed to be introduced to mainland China, and a preview trailer and poster were released! In the poster, the torch in the hand of the Statue of Liberty, which represents the United States, has become part of the battlefield, and the civil war is about to break out.
The film is also translated as "Civil War", "Empire" and "The Collapse of the Empire". It is produced by a24 Pictures, directed and written by Alex Garland (" annihilation " and "Ex Machina"). Starring Stine Dunst, Wagner Mara, Stephen Henderson, Carly Spaeny and others.
The film mainly tells that in the near future, a civil war breaks out in the United States, and Texas and California become "Western forces." Veteran war photographer Lee Smith (played by Kirsten Dunst) formed a strong professional team of reporters to try to cross the front lines and survive. They drive to Washington, D.C., hoping to interview the president before he surrenders to a military force known as the "WF."
"American Civil War" was released in North America on April 12, setting the best opening result in North America in a24 film history. The current North American box office exceeds 62 million US dollars, rising to the second highest North American box office of a24 company, second only to " Instant" "Whole Universe " US$77.17 million (total North American box office)! The global box office of "American Civil War" is currently close to $100 million!
In terms of word-of-mouth: Rotten Tomatoes' freshness score started at 93%, and it was certified as fresh. The MTC comprehensive score was 75 points, and the cinema score was b-. North American audiences don't seem to like it very much! But "American Civil War" has a Douban score of 7.4. Although it has the flavor of a road movie, the subject matter will attract domestic audiences!
It is worth mentioning that this is the first time a film produced by a24 has been screened in mainland China. Previous media reports stated that in order to create buzz, a24 invested between US$50 million and US$100 million in promotional expenses for "American Civil War". Adding in the US$50 million production cost, the global box office would need at least US$200 million. Only the above can barely make back the original investment. But from the moment it is confirmed to be released in mainland China, this worry should disappear!
looks forward to the early release of "American Civil War"!
