00:06 Alex Garland's dystopian political action film Civil War beat out new vampire pick Abigail
00:12 to top the weekend's box office. Civil War, about an America torn apart, held in well to stay number
00:18 one in its second weekend with $11 million for a domestic total of $45 million for indie studio
00:24 A24. Heading into the weekend, Universal's Abigail was expected to take a bigger bite out of Civil War
00:30 but instead opened to $10.2 million, still a respectable number for a studio film that cost
00:35 a modest $28 million to make before marketing. The movie follows the horrors that happen when
00:40 a group of criminals kidnap a 12-year-old who's the daughter of an underworld figure and is a
00:45 vampire. "A ballerina vampire." Warner Brothers and Legendary's Godzilla and Kong the New Empire
00:53 remained a force to be reckoned with in its fourth weekend, earning another $9.8 million
00:58 as it stomped past the $170 million mark domestically and a huge $485.2 million globally.
01:06 Another new entry to the weekend was Guy Ritchie's film The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare,
01:13 which wasn't too far behind with an opening of $9 million. The ensemble film, led by Henry Cavill,
01:19 chronicles a covert World War II mission loosely based on real events. "It's very good."
