The horror-comedy film 'Abigail,' directed by the team behind the latest Scream movies, has been released in theaters but is not performing well at the box office. Despite its unique premise involving a ballerina vampire, the film has not managed to break the streak of underperforming vampire movies in recent years. 'Abigail' grossed $1.13 million on its first Tuesday from 3,384 locations, and continued with $723K on Wednesday, $649K on Thursday, and $1.49M on Friday from 3,393 locations. The total domestic gross reached $18.78 million by the end of its second weekend, experiencing a significant drop, estimated at 51% from its opening weekend, and grossed an estimated $5.25 million in its second weekend.
April showers. ABIGAIL (-49%) and UNGENTLEMANLY WARFARE (-57%) took big hits in their 2nd weekend w/ $5.2M and $3.8M, respectively. The theatrical world is not long for this duo.
