Box-Office Weekend: Civil War Stays on Top

For a second consecutive weekend, Civil War held the top spot of the box-office weekend, albeit by a mere margin of $0.9 million.

In its second week of release, A24’s Civil War brought in $11.1 million for the studio, to raise its overall total to $44.9 million. This proved just enough to best the Universal Pictures release Abigail which debuted in second place with $10.2 million over the weekend. Meanwhile, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire was forced to third place where it added $9.5 million to lift its four-week total to $171.6 million for Warner Bros. Studios. The second debut of the weekend, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare landed in fourth place where it made $9.0 million for Lionsgate Films. The Crunchyroll release Spy x Family Code: White debuted in fifth place with $4.9 million.

Dropping two spots over the weekend to land in sixth place was Kung Fu Panda 4 which took in $4.6 million for Universal Pictures in its seventh week of release. This brings the film’s overall total to $180.0 million. Falling four spots to take seventh place this weekend was Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire with $4.4 million. This brings the Sony Pictures Releasing product’s five-week total to $102.9 million. Similarly dropping multiple spots this weekend was Dune: Part Two, which fell three spots to eighth place where it added $2.9 million, giving the Warner Bros. product am eight-week tally of $276.6 million. Also falling three spots from last weekend was Monkey Man which took ninth place this week with $2.2 million, giving the Universal Pictures product a three-week total of $21.7 million. Finally, after claiming seventh place last weekend, the Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures product The First Omen dropped to tenth place where it brought in $1.7 million, raising its three-week tally to $17.8 million for the studio.

Three films were pushed out of the top ten this weekend as last weekend’d eight-, ninth-, and tenth-place films all failed to make this weekend’s list. After finishing in eighth place last weekend, The Long Game departs with a two-week total of $2.3 million. Meanwhile, the re-release of Shrek 2 just couldn’t make the top ten again this weekend after landing in ninth place last week, instead settling for a two-week tally of $3.0 million. Finally, SUGA | Agust D TOUR “D-DAY” THE MOVIE disappeared from this weekend’s list after claiming tenth place last week.
