Despite the presence of some new with certain potential, Alex Garland's film managed to hold on to first place at the American box office and did so with a new take of 11.12 million dollars. Compared to the debut weekend, the drop recorded by Civil War was 56% (however, 91 theaters were added), and has now reached a partial of 44.88 million, in line with analysts' forecasts for the first 10 days of programming.
At Universal Pictures, however, there was a lot of disappointment regarding Abigail's debut. The new horror film directed by the “Radio Silence” team (Matt Bettinelli-Olpin/Tyler Gillett) debuted with a gross of 10.2 million dollars, well below the pre-release forecasts, which spoke of a very busy weekend. close to 20 million. The film obtained decent reviews - among audiences and critics - but nevertheless, word of mouth was not up to par. Internationally, Abigail pocketed a total of 15.2 million dollars.
In third position, Godzilla and Kong: The New Empire collected another 9.45 million dollars, for a total of 171.61 million, which became 485.21 million with international receipts. Finally, the American weekend marked the lackluster debut of The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare which, with 9 million dollars, confirmed Guy Ritchie's lack of appeal with the American public in recent years.
