Now, admittedly, it’s not beating them by a lot,Abigail, the new vampire horror movie from Scream team Radio Silence, which will bring in roughly $10 million. (It actually did a bit better than Civil War on Friday, at $4 million versus $3.25 million, but is expected to fall off a bit harder as the weekend progresses.) And both movies will do better than Guy Ritchie’s new Ungentlemanly, which will likely open at No. 4 (at $8.7 million), falling behind Godzilla x Kong, which is now into its fourth week in theaters.

Garland’s movie has been defying expectations since it released last week, as audiences seem a bit more inclined than projected to settle in for what is, honestly, a pretty serious bummer of a movie. (Abigail, about a crew of kidnappers who find out they’ve bitten off more than they can handle when they snatch a young ballerina, is similarly on the grim side, albeit with a lot more comedy than Garland’s cavalcade of atrocities.) So, yeah, good news for the national bad mood, less good for breezy World War II spy adventures.
