VIDEO : 'Alita: Battle Angel' Wins Box Office But Could Still Be A Flop

Fox's "Alita: Battle Angel" earned $27 million over the weekend and over $41 million by Presidents' Day. But it's going to be an uphill climb for this $170 million-budgeted movie to make a profit. Fox's big-budget "Alita: Battle Angel" had no trouble topping the domestic box office over Presidents' Day weekend, with the movie taking in an estimated $27 million from Friday to Sunday and over $41 million from its opening on Thursday to Presidents' Day on Monday. But with the success of 2009's "Avatar," Cameron stepped aside and enlisted Rodriguez to take the project to the finish line.
