“Alita: Battle Angel” was #1 at the box office for the extended Presidents’ Day weekend, but it was a pretty weak turnout. Last year, the combined four-day total was a record $345.8 million, thanks in large part to “Black Panther”.
This weekend’s box office is only expected to finish at a combined $141.3 million, which is on pace to become the lowest four-day total for Presidents’ Day weekend since 2000, when it was $133.6 million. Here’s the weekend’s Top 10 . . .
