Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Abigail directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett reveal they shot two different versions of the movie in order to ensure they nailed an important element. The vampire horror-comedy debuted in theaters across the United States on April 19 and focuses on a group of criminals who capture the ballerina daughter of a powerful underworld figure, unaware of her true nature.
That’s a pretty calibrated — the fun is something that we talk about. And when you're dealing with humor and horror, we find that those guardrails are something that we're trying to put in place every moment of the movie.
Abigail's blend of comedy and horror has helped it stand out and resonate with audiences. The brutal deaths in Abigail can appeal to horror enthusiasts, while the more comedic elements contribute to a broader and more widespread audience. Its desire to offer something for both horror and comedy fans is something the genre has been lacking in recent times.
Abigail opened to $10 million domestically and $15.2 million globally, though its budget stands at $28 million.
