In its second weekend of release, Alex Garland's film with Kirsten Dunst as a photojournalist who travels through a violently divided United States made $11.12 million more. So far, it has made $44.8 million, making it one of A24's top five highest-grossing films ever. It is also the indie distributor's most expensive film to date, costing $50 million.
Even though it was a close race, "Civil War" beat out three newcomers: Universal's "Abigail," Guy Ritchie's "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare," and Sony and Crunchyroll's "Spy x Family Code:" an anime adventure. White," which all opened with varying outcomes.
"Abigail" was anticipated to earn $12 million to $15 million at the box office in its first weekend. However, the R-rated, blood-sucking thriller finished second with $10.2 million from 3,384 theaters, slightly behind expectations.

"Abigail" follows kidnappers who capture and hold for ransom a 12-year-old ballerina who ends up being a killer vampire child. It is based on Universal's classic 1936 monster film "Dracula's Daughter" and directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett of "Scream VI." Even though the movie cost $28 million, “Abigail” shouldn't have a hard time making a profit during its run in theaters.
At No. 4, "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" from Lionsgate made $9 million its first weekend in theaters. The $60 million-budget action comedy, which stars Henry Cavill, Henry Golding, and Eiza González and fictionalizes the real-life British covert military group that recruited a small group of skilled soldiers to strike against Nazis, had a disappointing result. It has a CinemaScore of “A-” and a 73% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The film's rights were only acquired by Lionsgate in the United States; Amazon Prime will distribute it to most of the rest of the world. There won't be any direct comparisons to the financial fate of Ritchie's previous two films because it won't be shown in theaters in most international territories; The movie "Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, which lost $48 million out of its $50 million budget, and MGM's "The Covenant," which lost $21 million worldwide out of its $55 million budget. The final new movie of the weekend was "Spy Family Code: With $4.8 million from 2,009 North American theaters, White" fell to fifth place. The animated action-comedy, which has an "A" CinemaScore and 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, was well-received by ticket buyers (at least the few who attended the opening weekend).
