Box Office: A24’s ‘Civil War’ Fends Off Three New Movies to Remain No. 1
A24's dystopian thriller "Civil War" conquered the box office again, fending off three new releases to retain the top spot on North American charts.
Though it was a close race, “Civil War” charged ahead of a trio of newcomers — Universal’s vampire horror film “ Abigail,” director Guy Ritchie’s “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” and Sony and Crunchyroll’s anime adventure “Spy x Family Code: White” — which all opened to mixed results. Based on Universal’s classic 1936 monster film “Dracula’s Daughter” and directed by “Scream VI” filmmakers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, “Abigail” follows kidnappers who capture and hold for ransom a 12-year-old ballerina, who ends up being a killer vampire child. Now, after an unremarkable April at the movies, theater owners are anxiously waiting for “The Fall Guy,” an action comedy starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt,” to kick off popcorn season on May 3.
