James Cameron and Robert Rodriguez's live-action Battle Angel Alita adaptation opened over an extended holiday weekend and is projected to bring in $41.7M from Thu-Mon.  The manga adaptation opened overseas last week, where it earned $31.5M in its first weekend.  Analysts are predicting that when the final numbers are tallied on Tuesday, the film should stand at $130.8M worldwide.

The film has an estimated production budget of $170-$180M so it will need significantly more substantial returns to turn a profit and guarantee that the sequel it lays the groundwork for actually gets made.

Luckily, the film has yet to open in China and Japan, the two territories where Alita: Battle Angel are expected to see significant box office returns.
