Alisha Weir as a vampire in Abigail
The Big Picture If you’re a horror fan, then Abigail was at the top of your list of the most anticipated films of the year. The secluded vampire romp from Scream directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett scared its way to theaters this weekend and left its blood-sucking mark on the global box office. In its first weekend of release, Abigail made $15.2 million worldwide.
What Is ‘Abigail’ About? Close Abigail is loosely based on the first Universal Dracula sequel, Dracula’s Daughter. It follows a group of criminals who are tasked with kidnapping the daughter of one of the most high-profile dangerous men in the world. All they have to do is watch her for 24 hours, and they’ll get to split $50 million. However, in classic horror fashion, nothing goes to plan. People start dying, and it turns out they kidnapped not only a vampire but Dracula’s twisted daughter.
‘Abigail’ Will Continue to Bite in Theaters It’s going to be interesting to see what kind of financial legs Abigail will have at the box office in the weeks to come. The film is currently certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with an 83% critic score and word of mouth has been resoundingly positive. You can grab your tickets below.
