Alita: Battle Angel

[Lawrence]

I was surprised by how much violence they were able to show. The action scenes were top notch.

Yep, my type of action scenes. I don’t know the manga/anime, but the movie’s cool.

 

[Eli26]

It was okay.

I watched it last night. Finally Hollywood got a manga adaptation right! it's not perfect (might have been better to split some storylines to sequels) but it was a good entertaining ride. They stuck to the source material really well. Despite its PG13 rating, I was surprised by how much violence they were able to show. The action scenes were top notch. I'd watch it again with no hesitation.

I loved it too, although I wouldn't bet on any sequels. This will be like ghost in the shell but a little more mainstream IMO

Their one use of the f word was great! In imax 3d it looked great, although wasn't as impressed visually as I was with aquaman. Either way I'm glad I ordered the prime 1 statue, the mini gun scene was unfortunately extremely brief!

I wouldn't bet on any sequels.

Yeah I think they overspent here and I don't think they'll make their money back unless good word of mouth (audience reviews seem positive so far) gets people to watch this. Last I heard, it was tracking to be a box office flop in the USA.

A friend of mine also saw this and said it was great. Reassuring, yet as he was explaining, I still didn't get that 'interest factor' that will drive me to the theater. I wonder if its just Marvel burn-out after the 10 year plan? I just can't get it up for Alita.

Opened to $32M in 11 markets overseas, led by South Korea with $11M...not too shabby.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Is 32M for those markets good? Because 32M doesn't sound that great.

I was told this is Fox's last movie as Fox. Disney's cutting the studio down to 4-6 releases a year (down from 16). The word "bloodletting" was used.

Personally, I'm very sad to see Fox go.

I think the number is good. It opened way better than GITS.

 

[Underworld54]

GITS's total gross has already been beaten in Korea, Taiwan, Malyasia, Hong Kong and Indonesia. Looking pretty strong in East Asia.

Read the manga, then you'll understand why there's a following.

It will do better over there

 

[Scurvy26]

Just got back from an Imax show, I really enjoyed it. The action and visuals are top notch. I hope we get a few sequels, the universe is too rich to not explore.

 

[M United]

It needs to make money to get sequels. If what has been reported is true with a 200m budget it needs to pull in a solid 600m to break even.

Yeah gonna need the international market to probably save it

Yep it has a chance fans seems to love it. I haven't seen it yet but i loved the trailers so ill probably be one of them. I hope it makes over 600m i am rooting for this movie and i haven't even seen it.

Hope you enjoy it, I'm definitely going again!

 

[e30ernest]

Yeah I'm rooting for this little underdog of a film too. I wasn't a fan of the original manga/anime (never heard of them until this movie was announced) but I really enjoyed the movie. I since watched the OVA and I must say I preferred the live action adaptation.

 

[Ehollywood]

I have tickets to see it tomorrow night in Dolby Atmos. Even if it's a bomb at the Boxoffice you'll always have this one Special film to cherish at home 4EVA!
