‘Warfare’ Rumbles Past Global Box Office Milestone After Recovering Production Budget
Warfare, starring Will Poulter, Cosmo Jarvis, and Kit Connor, has crossed another milestone at the global box office.
After completing two full weeks of release, A24’s acclaimed new thriller Warfare has recovered its reported budget through its domestic box office revenue alone. The movie was co-directed byAlex Garland and the Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza, andwas always a difficult sell. Films set against the backdrop of the Iraq War have historically struggled at the box office. That being said, Warfare was able to overtake the Best Picture winner The Hurt Locker, which made $17 million in its theatrical run 15 years ago. Interestingly, the movie also found an audience in middle-America, which suggests that it’ll likely become a popular choice for viewers on home video.
