Warfare
In terms ofcritical reception,Warfarecan be considered a success.
What this means is thatWarfarewill probably not catch up toCivil Warfinancially.
There are several elements at play that led toCivil War’ssuccess andWarfare’sunderwhelming follow-up.
On top of that,Warfaredidn’t get nearly as much advertising asCivil Wardid.
Plus,Warfarehad to compete with other films likeThe AmateurandSinners,which definitely affected its box office numbers.
Another issue that may have hurtWarfareis the divisiveness of war movies.
Generally,war moviesfall into one of two camps: glorifying or condemning war.
A24 likely put less money into marketingWarfarebecause it was never intended to be the big hitCivil Warwas.
Arguably,Warfaredid its job by garnering strong reviews and making an impact on its viewers.
