Gaza War Documentary 'NAZA' Tops Italian Box Office, Outperforming 'Avengers: Endgame — Encore'

A documentary titled "NAZA," which focuses on the impact of Israel's military campaign in Gaza on Palestinian civilians, has opened at number one at the Italian box office, ahead of "Avengers: Endgame: Encore," which placed second, according to The Guardian.

The 80-minute film, produced by The Guardian, was originally booked for a three-day run in Italian cinemas but had its release window extended after sold-out screenings and what the report described as a strongly positive audience response.

On its opening day, Monday, the documentary took in a total of €451,872, with a per-site average of €1,153, figures cited by The Guardian as evidence of the film's strong initial performance relative to its limited release.

The documentary is described in the available report as centering on the toll of Israel's military operations in Gaza on the civilian population, a subject that has drawn sustained international attention and remains a matter of significant political and humanitarian debate.

The film's box office performance in Italy comes amid continued global interest in documentary coverage of the Gaza war, with audiences in several countries turning out for films addressing the conflict.

Further details on the documentary's director, its broader distribution plans beyond Italy, or reactions from Israeli officials or other parties referenced in the film were not included in the available report.
