‘Civil War’ makes $10.8M box office proclamation; ‘Godzilla’ hits milestone

“Civil War” hit the box office with a bang.

The dystopian film about a second American Civil war marked the highest opening day take for its production company, A24, as it raked in $10.8 million in its debut Friday, according to Box Office Mojo.

The impressive premiere puts it on track for a debut of around $26 million, Variety reported.

The $50 million film, from director Alex Garland, follows a team of military-embedded journalists racing against time to reach Washington, D.C. before rebel factions descend upon the White House.

Starring Kirsten Dunst, Cailee Spaeny, Nick Offerman and Jesse Plemons, the thriller has been dubbed a “muddled.”

The Post’s Johnny Oleksinski went as far as to call it “a torturous, overrated movie without a point,” bashing its script as lousy and the acting as monotonous.

Behind “Civil War” was “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire,” which topped the charts when it premiered two weeks ago. On Friday, it brought in $4 million.

The sci-fi action flick is projected to earn up to $15 million by the end of its third weekend, pushing it well past the $150 million domestic milestone. That will make it only the third this year to hit that mark, behind “Kung Fu Panda 4” and “Dune: Part Two.”

“Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” was #3, pulling in $1.4 million in its fourth week in theaters.

Behind that was the animated comedy “Kung Fu Panda 4” followed by action-thriller “Monkey Man.”
