WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World tops the chart with 55.5MM, which is the biggest debut of 2019 so far and well beyond projections. Alita: Battle Angel places with 12MM on a 58 percent drop, which would be deadly against a 170MM production budget, but for the 200MM it's grossed overseas even before opening in China and Japan (that said, the overseas share of grosses flowing to the studio is smaller, so this is still an iffy proposition). The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part shows with 10MM on a 52 percent drop, a victim of the dragons. It now lags the original by 100MM (and LEGO Batman by ~50MM) after three frames. Fighting With My Family successfully platforms into the fourth slot with 8MM against an 11MM budget. Isn't It Romantic rounds out the Top Five with 7.5MM on a 47 percent post-Valentine's drop.
