“Civil war” Unexpectedly, it once again became number one on the weekend chart. The film lost 56% compared to its opening score, but considering the poor openings of new releases, that wasn't a huge handicap. What's more, now “Civil War” is already the fifth-highest-grossing title in A24 history. Next week will be number two In competition with “Everything, Everywhere at Once,” which grossed more than $77 million.
“Ghostbusters: Ice Empire” It took 31 days, but they finally reached the $100 million mark. Thus, it was not the first film in the history of the brand that did not overcome this barrier. This is the only good news. It appears that only the second “Ghostbusters” will have a worse final result.

Three big new releases fought for viewers. None of them attracted crowds. I coped better “Abigail”. Current estimates put the film at $10 million. That's a better result than the openings of the previous two vampire productions: “Demeter: Evil Awakens” ($6.5 million) and “Renfield” ($8 million). The film received a very good CinemaScore (B), which probably won't help it much.
Guy Ritchie, in turn, delights viewers with his new film (A- in CinemaScore). The problem is that almost no one chooses it. Opening result “Ministry of Brutal War” It's only $9 million. Considering the director's recent accomplishments, this is a surprisingly good start. By comparison, last year's “Game of Fortune” grossed $6.5 million in U.S. theaters. In turn, the movie “The Covenant” has grossed $6.4 million to date, with a total of $16.9 million.
Sony failed to rally anime fans. “Spy x Family Code: White” It is the highest-rated major release (A in CinemaScore), but its opening result was just $4.9 million. It's a far cry from the openers of “Demon Slayer” and “Dragon Ball,” but it still ranks as the fifth highest-grossing Crunchyroll title.
Finally, it is worth noting that although it appears on live streaming platforms “Dune: Part Two” It recorded only a 33% decline in revenue.
