The new horror-comedy 'Abigail,' directed by Radio Silence and starring Melissa Barrera, opened with a strong performance at the box office, earning $10.2 million domestically and $15.1 million worldwide in its opening weekend on a $28M budget. The film, praised for its engaging and gory content, received an 87% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite its success, 'Abigail' faced tough competition from A24's 'Civil War,' which retained the top spot at the box office for the second consecutive week, grossing $11.13 million in its second weekend. 'Abigail' also garnered attention due to Barrera's recent dismissal from the 'Scream' series, with many co-stars showing support at the film's premiere.
