The shock film
Civil War
, which is alarmed by a collapse of public order in the United States, took the lead in the North American box office in its first weekend of release, according to Sunday estimates from specialized firm Exhibitor Relations. This feature film by Briton Alex Garland, which features Kirsten Dunst as a photojournalist in an America in the grip of a civil war and faced with the secession of California and Texas, raised $25.7 million this weekend in the United States and Canada, according to this source.
A few months before the American presidential election, the film strives to describe with the greatest possible realism the chaos and savagery that would threaten the United States in the short term.
Civil War ousted the two creatures from the film
Godzilla x Kong - The New Kingdom
from first place
, which grossed $15.4 million. The immense reptile and the famous gorilla were in the lead during the two previous weekends. On the third step of the podium, we find

, the latest installment in the animated saga from DreamWorks studios mixing humor and martial arts, climbs one place, to fourth place, with its 5.5 million at the weekend box office. As for the film Dune: Part II ($4.3 million), it still hasn't bogged down after seven weeks of release and even moved up one place compared to the previous weekend.
