I don’t see what’s so crazy about Texas and California being allies in this. Texas has gotten more purple these days.

There's an American Civil War and I can only identify one man with a BMI over 30? What's going on here?

Should’ve been North vs South again, smh…

Budget also lower than initially reported per Indiewire at $50 million

Alex Garland’s ‘Civil War’ Running Time Is Not 195 Minutes – IndieWire

[titanic2187]

All these 195min runtime rumours give movie extra buzz. That 50m is still too high for A24 and I don’t see this movie having any real overseas appeal. It has to be like A24 all time record range to have this movie comfortably profitable.

Moves up two weeks to April 12.

I don’t know how sentiment in the US is but I sure want to see this. I could genuinely see this becoming a hit for A24, opening in the mid-20s range. That being said, if WOM is terrible it’ll collapse after that.

I mean this is a cool interesting movie concept that  I am interested in seeing.

 

I am sure it will draw a lot of controversy.

Id be alittle surprised if this opened in the mid 20s. Do people really want to see this during an election year? Seems a little too real. 

[NoobSaibot]

I would have written this off entirely if Alex Garland wasn't responsible for the script AND directing. That being said, if controversy is what they're aiming for, it could backfire. We'll find out closer to release.

 

I'm not expecting another "Everything Everywhere All at Once" scenario with this movie, but I've been wrong plenty of times.

[MysteryMovieMogul]

The Civil War began on April 12, 1861, just in case anyone was wondering why the date was moved up.

[AniNate]

I'll see this but I'm definitely bracing myself for another Men at the box office. Tbh the most recent trailer looked a lot schlockier than I was hoping. Fortunately it seems Garland has friends in high places at A24 since he's got another project lined up now

I wonder if "action thriller" is the best way to handle this material.

I keep on hearing that Texas is truning purple, but it keeps on being the reddeest of the Red States. Sorry not buying  a alliance of California and Texas.

And btw, you could have nasty civil war without sucession...in face if there is Civil War 2 in the US I think that is how it would unfold.. a struggle over who controls the central government, more like the Spanish Civil War then the US CIvil WaR.

[titanic2187]

The wonder of the year. Will timeliness eventually backfire?
