It has been a pretty rough start to 2019 so far with just one movie (Glass) having hit $100 million domestic. Obviously January is always expected to be slow anyway, but President’s Day weekend in February has been a big moviegoing weekend in recent years. This year, the top 12 made just $109 million combined over three days, which is the worst President’s Day weekend since 2004. Alita: Battle Angel came out on top with $27.8 million over three days and over $40 million for the full five-day weekend, which is a bit better than expected. However, the movie still needs approximately $500 million just to break even so they’re going to be leaning heavily on the international box office in the coming weeks. In second place, The Lego Movie 2 added another $21.2 million while Isn’t It Romantic wooed Valentine’s Day crowds to open in third with $14.2 million. What Men Want fell to fourth while Happy Death Day 2U opened in fifth with just $9.8 million ($11 million over three days), which is a fair bit less than the original made. Given its thrifty $9 million budget, however, there is no cause for concern for Universal or Blumhouse.
