The Big Picture It’s going to be a low-key but unusually diverse weekend at the domestic box office, with a host of new releases vying for attention amid a slew of holdover hits. Last week’s champion, the dystopian thriller Civil War, will attempt to hold on to its box office crown as it faces off against Universal's horror film Abigail, directed by hit-maker duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett.
Abigail will give tough competition toAlex Garland’sCivil War, which has been setting records in its first few days of release. Having delivered the biggest debut in indie outfit A24’s history, Civil War is poised to add around $11 million in its second weekend, as it inches closer to recovering its reported budget of $50 million.
The number four spot was claimed by Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which added around $2.3 million on its fourth Friday, setting itself up for a little over $9 million this weekend and ultimately overtaking Ritchie's film. This should also take it past Kong: Skull Island’s $168 million lifetime haul by Sunday, which will make Godzilla x Kongthe second-biggest installment in the MonsterVerse series.
