'Civil War' is at the top of the box-office.

In its second week of release, Alex Garland's ominous American dystopia, "Civil War," remained the top film in theaters. The A 24 election-year gamble, the studio's biggest budgeted film yet, took in $11 million in ticket sales over the weekend. The film has made $44.9 million in two weeks, and is set in a near-future U.S. The provocative premise and A 24 marketing helped keep "Civil War" at the top of peoples' minds. The weekend in theaters was slow, which was sure to add to the concern over the box office this year. Going into the weekend, Universal Pictures was expected to lead ticket sales with their horror film, "Abigail." It came in second with $10.2 million. It was a good result for a film that cost less than $30 million to make. A 12-year-old girl is kidnapped in a remake of the 1936 monster film "Dracula's Daughter". It is directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett and is a production company called Radio Silence.
