This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available. Three movies — one a holdover hit and two new releases — fought a closely contested battle for the top spot at the domestic box office this weekend. A24’s dystopian thriller Civil War ended up narrowly out-performing Universal’s horror offering Abigail, and Lionsgate’s World War II spy comedy The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.
Civil Wargrossed an estimated $11 million this weekend, taking its running domestic total to $44 million in 10 days, and overtaking Ari Aster’s Hereditary to become A24’s fifth-biggest release of all time. Produced on a reported budget of $50 million, Civil War has earned mostly positive reviews, but has proven to be divisive among audiences. The film follows a group of journalists on a cross-country road trip across a divided states of America in a vaguely-defined future.
The third and fifth spots this weekend went to Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire and the latest Crunchyroll anime release, Spy x Family Code: White. While the monster mashup film added an estimated $9.5 million in its fourth weekend, taking its running domestic total to around $171 million and becoming the second-biggest MonsterVerse movie, Spy x Family Code grossed around $5 million domestically, having already made around $45 million in overseas markets. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
