The dystopian political action film Civil War about an America torn apart triumphed over the newly released vampire movie Abigail at the weekend box office. Civil War held the top spot in its second weekend with $11 million for a domestic total of $45 million for indie studio A24. Heading into the weekend, Universal’s Abigail was expected to take a bigger bite out of Civil War but instead opened to $10.2 million, a respectable number for a studio film that cost a modest $28 million to make before marketing.
