Civil War has made plenty of news over the weekend. The film has become divisive from various discussions regarding film politics or lack thereof, with some praising it and others panning it. The film's most prominent headline might have been that it scored the biggest opening weekend for studio A24 and the first time one of their films has opened at number 1 at the box office. Since its launch in 2012, the studio has gained a reputation among film fans as it is known for producing or distributing independent productions from auteur filmmakers that were outside the mainstream norms of Hollywood filmmaking. They have become one of the most recognizable film companies, having a loyal and passionate fanbase who, for the most part, show up to the theater for their films.
