The Gaza documentary “NAZA” opened at No. 1 at the Italian box office, outperforming the re-release of “Avengers: Endgame Encore”. Its strong debut follows a special jury prize at the Venice Film Festival and has prompted an extension of its Italian run beyond the three days originally planned.
The film earned about €1.1 million over Monday and Tuesday, compared with €356,000 for “Avengers: Endgame Encore” in the same period. Directed by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, “NAZA” examines the killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza and draws on reporting published by +972, Local Call and The Guardian. It is due to reach cinemas in more than 50 territories, with a free release on The Guardian’s website planned for late November.
