This is thread for general discussion of Alita: Battle Angel. Post and discuss your thoughts on the movie, pics/gifs/webms related and relevant info/rumours/news.
My IMAX nearby will be keeping it going instead of Dragons 3. Makes sense, being an actual IMAX movie, so I'll probably check it out Saturday for the second viewing.
I saw one youtuber that got a poster when he watched Alita, do you need to ask for posters on the cashier or other cinemas are just generous to give posters?
Gavin Moore
>120 million yen It's literally ten bucks.
Asher Perry
100% certain it will.
Benjamin Collins
It's standart for your third viewing. You have 3 viewings already right?
John Watson
Maybe he didn't get his Kinoplex card stamped.
Anthony Perry
BASED KOJIMBO, IF ALITA GETS 1B I'LL BUY DEATH STRANDING TWICE!
Isaiah Nelson
It was actually amazing. I had to watch it alone but now I'm definitely dragging my gf this weekend. I'll try to drag my sister and her bf as well. I need a sequel!
I don't know why people still take reviews such as "It is a terrible idea, just like World War I" (actual review on the aggregator) seriously. Must be the jewish tricks.
Zachary Thomas
drag your parents as well you faggot.
Alexander Watson
just read the manga. the movie's treament of the material is quite horrid.
Michael Cox
Only watched twice (2D and IMAX), still thinking if im gonna watch it again.
Gabriel Edwards
Does he really say "the flan of victory!" or was it tampered with?
Austin Moore
I smell jewish tricks.
Seriously though, Alita could easily have co-existed with marvel. But then they just had to try shutting it down with rigged reviews.
Most of you are from Yea Forums aren't you? It was getting really obvious in the last thread.
Jacob Clark
Yes, and?
Connor Garcia
No. Yea Forums is dreadful.
Grayson Fisher
This feels like home away from home, fellow Yea Forumsnon
Caleb Howard
It's good boyz. As a absolute lover of the manga i went to see the film with a very skeptical attitude. She's is portrayed very well. Thinking to go to see it once again...
Josiah Allen
That's Rem, dipshit
Zachary Wright
I need to see these critics' reviews of TLJ.
Blake Cruz
"Like the holocaust, this was a great idea"
William Martinez
That particular guy did not review TLJ and seems to shit on all manners of capeshit. I just posted it to highlight how ridiculously pretentious and pointless these reviews are. For the context, no, the quoted line doesn't make much sense in the full review either. He's just a twat.
Asia might double the box office, but Asian net revenue is less than domestic and even with double the current amount it's still just a bit shy of 300 mil USD which is not enough even for the most generous estimates of breaking even. It's over.
Thomas Wood
You know this should be used for the DVD release cover.
Josiah Phillips
If the movie is tracking better than a Transformers movie in China that’s terrific. James Cameron has a lot of fans there but Alita has the chance to attract a large audience through word of mouth.
Jonathan Carter
Plus, its origin is Japan. Surely some people who read the manga will know, want to watch it and hopefully bring their friends / SO / family.
Owen Bell
NOOOOO Why didn't we protect her smile bros? Why did it have to end like this?
I'm actually impressed with the amount of violence they got away with for a pg13.
Brody Thomas
Get thee behind me Satan!

Evan Hernandez
I'd rather buy a red asuka.
Carter Hall
iirc you win by either eliminating the competitors and are last man standing or you are the first to finish with the ball after a certain number of laps
Zachary Baker
My IMAX has them for maybe half the movies they show. I grabbed a few. They still had a giant stack of Lego Movie posters that nobody took since nobody saw that in IMAX.
Lucas Harris
But the ball in the thing without getting torn apart.
Owen Howard
noshower homeless piss drinker here
cant stop thinking about it. will probably see it a second time, only I have to approach a stranger woman and tell her that I'm a writer and Ive written a story about a homeless man obsessed with sucking dick. THen I will take her on a date and see alita, thoughts?
Leo Evans
$11 million opening in South Korea. Japan has 2.6x the population and is the home country of Gunnm. Anything less than a $30 million opening would be a crime.
Joshua Price
How will you know she's not a reptilian?
Christopher Jackson
I wont but at this point I need a female to touch me to survive, because Im legitimately losiny sanity and grip on reality, my last woman was a romanian cross-eyed hooker over a year ago. Ill take a reptilian pussy maybe thats even better than roastie pussy, welll see
Ryder Howard
I don't get how alita and ghost in the shell get a high buget movie but AKIRA can' get a movie. Now I know that they dont' want to fuck up Akira so that is the reason they have not made Akira yet
Adam Morgan
fuck akira make berserk movie you fucks
Cooper Butler
also Ive just been to a deli to take coffee and a salad, and some women there whispered to a clerk >he stinks
and she whispered
>I know
lmao. Probably wouldnt even serve if it wasnt for the fact that Im tall and hansdome. Just wait till I get my ears pierced and walk in with earings, bitch will be dripping for homeless dick
Landon Perry
Americans love violence and hate sex and cussing. This is well known.
Nolan Morris
Wouldn't work and you know it. Hollywood is working on live-action One Piece right now, it's going to be an absolute trainwreck.
Gabriel Nelson
quite a flop
Cameron Carter
What we need is a big-budget Devilman kino
Robert Lewis
Violence can be righteous unlike fornication and foul language
Matthew James
probably wouldnt work although it COULD be done
Im just so obsessed with berserk that Ill gladly take any more berserk at this point
Aiden Mitchell
>Berserk Homosexual villain, wouldn't fly. >Akira Incel villain, would fly.
Julian Wood
What would be the point of live-action Akira when anime is already perfect? Literally just waste of money and time.
Jaxon Martinez
>Homosexual villain But he had the sex with Charlotte and Caska.
Nathan Sanchez
See, this is what I am talking about, Berserk reinforces the stereotype of gay people being rapists.
Aiden Baker
>employing robert rodriguez >not leaving him use his budget magic they shot themselves in the feet
Americans are only lax on violence, they're downright puritanical when it comes to sex. Nudity while kissing and groping will pretty much ensure you get an R even if there is no genitals penetrating other genitals shown or even implied.
Fucking hell I just bought $40 imax tickets to see alita again this weekend. What the fuck is wrong with me, I've just gotten more and more obsessed ever since I saw it last weekend and now I feel like my second viewing can't possibly live up to expectations.
So by the end of the movie, which motorball league was Alita in?
Isaac Hill
I want her to step on me
Sebastian Rivera
noshower homeless piss drinker here
Ive never been to an imax screening. Is it worth it? I mean its got a meme bigger screen and the brand known worldwide but is it overrated? Because I will be seing alita a 2nd time but dont want to be memed into some jew imax shit shit this is why I ask my incel nazi friends online first
Noah Watson
They say she reached the top league.
Jaxon Ross
>is it overrated? No, the quality is really much better (+ the big screen)
Matthew Gonzalez
>$100M US >$175M China
How will this movie make $500-550M?
Lucas Nelson
better how
James Hughes
Higher resolution.
Grayson Anderson
One Piece would be a live action TV series, not movie. So an even lower budget.
Wyatt Rivera
It only needs 350m to break even.
Aaron Turner
"and no one saw me coming"
Dominic Lee
what is that thing on his nose? is it metal or a bandaid? this is very important for me someone answer pls
Michael Foster
Landau says $500M.
Juan Reed
Landau is jew...
Sebastian Price
Don't worry, 2nd viewing is just as good. I though the same.
Christopher Myers
spics and hollywood jews shitting on my anime just makes me mad
Leo Reed
get in line
Caleb Thomas
More like Alita: Bore Angel amirite guys?
Xavier Moore
Source? Also 20th Century Fox stated the break even was 400 million. 500 would guarantee it a sequel.
Mason Bell
>Audience 93% stop encouraging jews to fuck up anime you brainlets
Owen Parker
We are weak. Mouse Corp. is strong. We see the development of a classic cyberpunk story. You are brave, creative, persistent, but what are your efforts against the power of the corporation? We are residents of Iron City. And Zalem laughs at us.
Austin Nelson
This. Always trust Yea Forums with numbers.
Michael Morales
how big of a faggot do you have to be to not just post the username
Jacob Sanders
She was graduating from second league.
Nolan Adams
YES
Zachary Baker
>all estimates point to alita being a flop
RIP you will always be in my heart
Bentley Gutierrez
is Zalem rulled by (((them)))? How do they control Iron City goyim if nobody goes down.
Blake Hughes
Here's to you Robert and Jim Rest forever within our hearts That last and final moment is yours That agony is your triumph
Grayson Barnes
It only needs $100M to be a hit.
Gabriel Gutierrez
I am japanese··· However, it is difficult for Japanese to expect to see Alita.
Women are dominant in the Japanese movie market. There are more women customers than male customers. However, Japanese women do not like movies where women are very active. Wonder woman failed. Although there are also failures of publicity ... Kojima also had to bother saying "Otaku will see it, but I recommend it to women" ...
Jordan Wright
Fact
Joseph Gonzalez
JAMES CAMERON YOU WILL Give US WHAT WE WANT
Tyler Lopez
no it needs $400M to break even. and it is barely going to hit that maybe. but BE is not enough, you need it to be profitable for any sequel hope.
which means there's no hope.
RIP
life fkn slaps
Eli Morgan
Indirectly using robots (the deckmen) Zalem is fucked up too of course, as is Jeru up on the other end of the elevator. (As are Venus & Jupiter colonies - other than being a civil war filled shithole Mats seems practically normal)
Caleb Fisher
I wanna see that man limp on the side of the road
Evan Ortiz
Have you seen the movie?
William Harris
RIGHT?! LIKE THE ENDING WAS TRASH TOO
Jackson Martin
Finally it will be screened in Japan. I am going to see. Was the movie interesting?
Aiden Hall
No, it's fucking shit, you dog eating larper.
Liam Richardson
Is cool.
Juan Peterson
Women aren't the main audience of capeshit here, however they seem to like Alita.
I held off for a full week, thinking that it was just hype and I'd come to my senses. Today I caved in and went to see Alita for the second time. It was absolutely worth it and I might just go for a third run while I still can. Buying the movie later on will be cool and all but it won't be 3D IMAX.
I love her.
Christopher Green
Gonna spend my entire next week's pay check on Alita tickets. Match me.
I guess the war between earth and mars was fought on the moon as well. Think about how advantageous it would be as a position.
Jose Flores
noshower homeless piss drinker here
I know it doesnt mean shit but I think I enjoyed Blade Runner 2049 more than alita overall. Not to shit on alita just a thought
Xavier Davis
>hey let's shoot at it, maybe that'll stop it Eugh.
Colton Ortiz
if you watch closely they actually dropped three rings at once. Good luck jumping over that.
Nathan Gray
Heh, that stopped it actually.
Aaron Ward
I just can't take this movie seriously after the Spy Kids-tier promo posters it had.
Cameron Reyes
It worked though
Angel Nelson
Alita is Kawaii?
Lincoln Baker
Alita is super kawaii
Kayden Gomez
>flops LMAO
Adrian Young
The movie is 6/10 at best. There are too few action sequences, I'm not even sure where the run time went. The screenplay is poor and the acting is dire. Hugo is awful. Too much was crammed in - hunter killer arc and motorball too is too much for one movie. Ido was shit. They even screwed up his rocket hammer.
Looking at the interview, Rodriguez is full of feelings making the next work. Gerda seems to be important in the next work ...
Brayden Sullivan
I'm going to watch it today, only for the rollerblade sequence and because alita seems cute. I'm expecting terrible dialogue though, they were beyond shit in the trailer.
The film really is banking on it's second weekend to become a big hit. Right now, we don't know how other foreign markets have done the past week, since they haven't updated since the 10th, and China and Japan are just opening. Then you got domestic attendance, which could stay the same as last weekend due to positive word of mouth and YouTubers telling people to go see it. It all comes down to these next 5 days. If it can bump it's way up to 300 million in just the next 4 days or so, it most certainly will get a sequel, due to typical box office tracking after that. So truthfully, the only thing you can do now, is go see it. If you've seen it already, see it one more time.
>film literally needs to make $2bi in China to break even It's over.
Landon Davis
It's dead in the water man. Nobody's going to go back to see it and with a 60% critics score nobody new will go see it either. It's over.
Evan Williams
Word of mouth has been very positive, I know you're dooming to meme. The only thing this film needs right now is China to give it 150 million. That would guarantee it a sequel.
Jack Lee
I say they're fine. Corny, sure, but in all the right ways. Maybe I was just made deaf by her cuteness.
Jose Clark
>That would guarantee it a sequel. It won't, it needs 500 million for a sequel and good luck getting that.
>Trump closes down government and declares state of national emergency >people have nothing to do but go to the movies >the only movie in the theaters is Jimbo's Real Anime Based.
Juan Wright
just imagine berserk with this huge budget and great casting
itll happen eventually. berserk is an absolute masterpiece and a lot of well known people love it, someone will do it. effects get cheaper and cheaper, its only a matter of time bros
Blake Rogers
The thing I take in to account with the sequel, is they already have a number of the effects and visuals done that they can port over. The budget could be a little less.
Matthew Carter
>cuck the anime Nah
Justin Bennett
Space Force my friends
Jason Brown
The Avatar sequels will fund the Alita sequel
John Russell
Fuck me, this analyst is predicting the film could end up with 600 million at the worldwide box office. Even for a desperate fan, I think that's a little high, but even anything a little below that would be nice.
>Cameron finishes his 17 avatar sequels >They collectively gross 61.2 billion dollars >Spends the rest of his life and fortune make and remaking Alita movies >He won't stop until everyone loves her as much as he does
Robert Rogers
They'd just do yet another fucking golden age adaptation with the bonus of cutting Donovan raping Guts and Femto raping Casca because Hollywood politics.
Daniel Sanchez
I've gone 4 times. Plan on at least going twice more - once with a friend, and once with my father. I'd go see it once more in Imax3D but I have to take a 2 hour bus ride to get to the Imax theater, I dunno if I want to do that again.
Jonathan Jackson
even if, Idgaf
as I said, effects are cheaper and cheaper and capeshit will wear off eventually and new ideas emerge
maybe 5, maybe 10 years, maybe 15 years from now. after holographic games on the playstation 6 or whatever
Gosh I hope Captain Marvel self-imploding will get people to see Alita instead.
Liam Ramirez
Cameron has always planned a trilogy, he's not going to NOT make any Alita sequels of his waiuf. If anything he'll just use Avatar 2 money to finance Alita 2.
Leo Taylor
why the fuck wouldnt he make alita2?
jimbo doesnt give a frick
the avatar sequels come 10 years after avatar 1 so alita 2 is just a matter of time jimbos, stop stressing out
'Cause all three heads, Rodriguez, Cameron, and Landau have said they'd love to do a sequel, but it all comes down to box office. As long as it makes 450 million plus, we're home free, but we have to get there first.
Evan Richardson
Only thing that can stop Jim is time. By the time he's done with all the Avatars he's going to be close to 70 years old
Brody Garcia
>the sole purpose for creating the space force was so we could colonize mars and create a race of Anime martians Absolutely based.
What cinematic innovation could Cameron introduce in Alita 2?
Evan Howard
Captain Marvel is going to bomb in China. It’s everything they hate
Jeremiah Robinson
I watched it, it's bad The dialogue is embarrassing, the plot is unfocussed and all a setup for a sequel that it doesn't deserve, the acting is bad The action fights are well animated, but have no stakes and no tension, it's just motion and noise Stop trying to trick people into watching this, it's not funny
A lot of people want to see Alita die and never be seen again.
Jaxon Garcia
does jimbo give a frick? strong no
does jimbo want to make alita 2? strong yes
does drinking urine take off 10 years off of your face and give you powers such as teleportation? absolutely
Zachary Barnes
>implying time and age can stop jimbo
James Lewis
Ray tracing + some other gimmick to set it apart from other movies that might start using ray tracing for cgi, too..
Robert Russell
I guess the only reason I care so much about a sequel is, I'm so tired of the Marvel inspired blockbusters. I'm so sick of the same uninspired awful looking shit get propped up and make money just because it has the Marvel logo on it. Here comes a big budget blockbuster that dares to stay true to it's roots and take chances with a general audience. Given that unconventional films are making s comeback money wise, I'd just love to see Alita prove that people still have an interest for crafted blockbusters. Argue the quality, pacing, and some acting all you want, but it's different. Finally, something that's not that same.
>Captain Marvel is going to bomb in China. It’s everything they hate Just hope it doesn't do well like Nigger Panther in US.
Zachary Edwards
Watched it last night, movie was way too long and could easily have been 2 movies. The relationship with Hugo felt forced and rushed like almost everything else in the movie.
Gabriel Wilson
everyone who watches this movie says it's bad, but the people shilling 3-d imax screens and droning on about buying multiple tickets claim it's flawless
Justin Watson
I just watched the movie for the second time. I liked it even more than the first time.
>tfw finally had a dream where Alita was casually mentioned >in some warehouse >had a freaking book store in it too, I don't know what that's about >one of the guys (played by Kurtwood Smith) shows me some book and starts telling me things about movie special effects >one of the pages shows Alita >point it out and tell him how much I love her How long until Alita makes an actual cameo in my dreams bros?
Aiden Evans
Super HIT does not have to be done. But I want to see the sequel.
Zachary Hill
Instantly improved 100%.
Grayson Brown
>2 hours >too long Try taking your ADHD meds before you go to the cinema, Timmy.
>There are too few action sequences The f were you on? >Ido was shit Ok, you were high on crap.
Jason Bell
To night, prince.
Lincoln Lee
>calls her wrong name >gets absolutely slapped >just gets right back into it Is there a more alpha male?
John Sanders
Seems like the most dangerous option. Alita was trying to save Hugo who was a dumbass in the first place.
Elijah Gonzalez
Plus I got the impression that Alita had special training from Gerda, whereas all the people that didn't jump were basically red shirts that got drafted.
David Nelson
never read a single manga. are they all in black and white?
Tyler Foster
no but black and white aesthetic is extremely based, its very atmospheric
theres nothing like it
read berserk fagit. berserk is actually the best work of art ever created by a human and this is not an exageration. michelangelo and stanley kubrick and many others all kneel before kentaro miura
Gabriel Wilson
so can anyone spoiler what this war was about? why were all these floating cities attacked?
Oliver Ramirez
Is Alita received by women? Women are important in Japanese movie theaters.
Austin Rivera
The movie is so smooth bro. I watched it and all the scenes flowed at me seamlessly. I felt so good after leaving the theater like I had had fine wine that leaves sweet after taste at the back of my tongue. Such a treat for the eyes.
Kojime, a westaboo, will actually save anime this time. We live in the best timeline yet.
Wyatt White
even in its icomplete state, my point still stands. Many people say that its gone to shit and only the earlier shti is good but theyre plebs. every new chapter is 10/10. Its just absolutely perfect, its divine. kentaro miura is a god
everything about is pure brilliance
Jonathan Robinson
>Wandering Earth makes $611M in one weekend holy fuck
They all seem to like it. They are the most excited talking about it when the film is over as far I've seen. The bimbo pretty much nailed it in my opinion, Alita is just extremely related to girls with the crush stuff and innocence.
Brandon James
kojima is not westaboo. There are many people who dislike Japan in Japan. but He likes Japan.
Sebastian Bell
It will happen. The Fifth Element and Blade Runner eventually got sequels, even with poor initial box office.
At the very least, Alita will be a cult classic in the US, and a moderate hit overseas. A sequel will happen, sooner or later.
>110262570 Saw it with my dad recently I give it a 6.5/10, it's servicable and I honestly think they did their best regarding the adaptation, the Junkyard don't really look as gritty as in the manga and they focused way to much on the romance. My dad gave it a 9.5/10 and told me it's the best movie he saw in recent years, he also said that Alita was cute
In the manga it's called "terraforming wars" and were between venus and jupiter, fighting for resources required for further terraformation. Mars was barely involved, it just has a special forces mercenary unit, which was hired by one of the sides to enact a false flag operation. And it would've gone as planned, but Gally's lust for battle fucked up some stuff and caused deaths of at least half a million people. What it was about in the movie is anyone's guess.
Isaiah Hill
>Valerian is a sequel to the Fifth Element. Well good thing it has another name, don't wanna be associated with the original great movie.
Charles Nelson
British men at IGN Japan hated movies. However, Japanese women reviewer said that she like it.
There may be a possibility that it will work well in Japan.
Kayden Perry
darts is the kino spectator sport lad
Ian Perry
What's with boomers and Alita?
Caleb Brown
Alita is gonna make 65 OW in China, and that's mean 200m+ Chinese haul. The forecasts of 170m+ were too conservative. I'm feeling it bros. Based dad. You should feel ashamed for not reaching his level yet.
Julian Williams
>British men at IGN Japan hated movies. >British men Cucks are not men.
Jason Hernandez
I know right. Though I can't make sense of his tastes sometimes >love BattleShip and Battle of Los Angeles >hate Mad Max Fury Road >told him about Mortal Engines, thought that the concept was retarded and then tells me that he wants to see it after watching the trailer no idea also managed to get him to read the manga, the only other manga he liked was High school of the dead
Isaiah Clark
>fat guy hits the the same spot 3 times
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEE HUNDRED AND EIGHTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
It might be the same if the war was expanded to include other solar colonies. I feel it kinda has to happen for the events in Last Order to make sense. I think Jim intended the adapt all the way to the end of Last Order and give Alita her real wings for her to truly ascend to angel hood. The battle arena arc will be truly remarkable unlike anything we have seen in cinema before.
During interviews, that casts have talked about how details in Last Order as example of how expansive the Alita's world is. That gives me hope.
Robert Rivera
That assumes that the box office numbers are plateauing, which they are not. It's a slow and steady stream of sales.
Samuel Morris
Alita is not Ghost in the Shell, user. :/
Dylan Cruz
Yeah. guts rape, Griffith rape, Casca rape, guts all the assassination scenes are excluded. Furthermore, Caska will be racially unrelated. It is not permissible for a girls witch to explore the penis world.
>guts rape Guts is a gentleman, he never raped anyone. He was the one being raped.
Julian Cook
Rape is essential in Berserk. Any dumbing down of it will create a joke of a movie. Japan + China = 250m North America = 100m+ Other foreign markets = 200m+ We have the magic 550m - 600m here folks.
Nathaniel Garcia
hahaha,sorry, I am poor at English. But there was attempted rape (dark spirit in guts.
This pic is all scrambled, he doesn't get back to it afterwards because he is a beta cuck

Aaron Perry
anyone else a bit ticked they already had Nova remove his glasses? imagine if they had a Judge Dredd movie and he takes off his helmet at the end of it.
Christopher Cook
Can your dad adopt me, user?
Landon Williams
>Hollywood only getting a 20% split of the asian profits it's a meme user. Japan has very standard shares of profit like the west. China might have lower but it depends on whether the studios have distribution right in China or not. Universal does not have distribution right in China so they had to go through a domestic one and some chunk of the shares were scooped out. That's why Warcraft might have profited a bit less from the Chinese market. WB, Fox and Disney all have distribution rights in China. The percentage share with local theater must have been higher. I personally guess that is 40%+, not some outrageous % like 20%.
