Box Office: ‘Civil War’ Second Weekend Leading ‘Abigail’ and ‘The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare’ in Tight Race


A24's "Civil War" is in a tight box office race with the new horror release "Abigail" and Henry Cavill's "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare."

It’s a close contest at the domestic box office, with the opening day gross of Universal’s ballerina vampire film “ Abigail ” leading Lionsgate’s fellow new release “ The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare ” and the second frame of A24’s dystopian thriller “ Civil War.” The original R-rated vampire movie is the first at Universal for directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillet, the filmmaking team known as Radio Silence that revived the “Scream” franchise with its recent fifth and sixth entries. Melissa Barrera reunites with Radio Silence to lead “Abigail,” starring alongside a cast that includes Dan Stevens, Will Catlett, Kathryn Newton, Kevin Durand, Giancarlo Esposito, Matthew Goode, Alisha Weir and the late Angus Cloud.
