The holiday weekend at the box-office has been slow. In fact, it has been the worst since 2004. The leader of the pack was Fox's "Alita: Battle Angel", and the satirical romantic comedy "Isn't It Romantic" also performed well. The Blumhouse sequel "Happy Death Day 2U", however, fell short of expectations.
Find out more about the weekend box-office after the jump.
The sci-fi actioner "Alita: Battle Angel" was the #1 movie at the box-office with a better-than-expected $27.8 million for the three-day weekend, and a total of $36.5 million since its release on Thursday. The film is expected to gross over $33 million for the four-day holiday weekend, which would raise the total earnings to around $40+ million. Internationally it brought in a total of $94.3 million since its release a week ago. However, the film cost $170 million to produce, so it needs over $500 million globally to break even. "Alita: Battle Angel" has received a lukewarm reception from critics (60 on Rotten Tomatoes and 54 on Metacritic), but a more positive response from moviegoers ("A-" grade from CinemaScore's polls).
In second place we find last week's #1 release, the animated film "The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part", which has dropped over 37% and grossed $21.2 million over the weekend, with an expected four-day gross of $27 million. So, on Monday, the film's domestic total should end up at around $70 million. Overseas, the film has grossed another $12 million this weekend for a total of $34.7 million from 69 markets.
The romantic comedy "Isn't It Romantic" starring Rebel Wilson landed in third place with $14.2 million and is expected to finish the extended holiday weekednd with $16.5 million. The film opened on Wednesday, so its total domestic gross for the six-day time frame should be around $23 million against a $31 million budget. The film received a mixed reception from both critics (68% on Rotten Tomatoes and 60 on Metacritic), and audiences ("B" grade from CinemaScore).
"What Men Want" finished its second weekend in theaters at #4 with $10.9 million, bringing its domestic total to $36.1 million against a $20 million budget. The film is expected to gross around $13 million for the four-day weekend.
The Top 5 is rounded out by the last of the new wide releases, the Blumhouse sequel "Happy Death Day 2U" which brought in $9.8 million over the three-day weekend and is expected to gross $11 million for the four-day time frame. The film opened on Wednesday and should end up with over $15 million for its first six days. Overall, the sequel fell behind expectations and really short of the original film's $26 million debut. Its saving grace is that it only cost $9 million to produce. "Happy Death Day 2U" received mostly mixed reviews from critics (67% on Rotten Tomatoes and 56 on Metacritic) and moviegoers had similar feelings about the movie ("B" grade from CinemaScore).
In other news, M. Night Shyamalan's "Glass" has crossed the $100 million, and "Aquaman" has become the second highest domestic DCEU release, behind "Wonder Woman" ($412.5 million).
