Well, based on projections right now, China just gave Alita another 7 million on Monday, bringing their total to 74 million, it's holding relatively close to Ready Player One. The thing that will be interesting to keep an eye out for is this weekend. I don't know how much How To Train Your Dragon 3 will affect sales, but I think the hype for Alita is ridiculously strong there. It's funny, I said last weekend will determine the fate of the film, now THIS weekend will. If China can give it another 40 million on top of the money from Monday to Thursday, this movie will definitely make over 150 million there.
Josiah Reed
I would guess at least three to four years.
Time for normies to see it on Netflix, and the usual "cult classic" stuff: cosplay, fan fiction, and so forth.
Ryder Barnes
It's insane bros, she's so visually pleasing. Her mannerism, her expressions, I've never seen anything like it. I'm thankful to be alive at times like these
somebody be my friend so i have someone to go see alita with
Easton Lewis
HOW THE FUCK IS SHE SO CUTE REEEEEEEE
Jace Hughes
We're committing mass sudoku when jannies finally delete this general, right?
Jack Carter
Good idea! x)
Lucas Reed
I love seeing Alita strong and overcoming a sad event, but I want to see her happy again in the sequel, bros. Since the film adapted and changed some character elements, will Alita stay in contact with Ido much more in the sequel?
That's the thing, right now HTTYD3 is projected to open to 30 million in China. The last movie only did 60 million total in China, so I'm not sure how much it will affect Alita's second weekend.
Yes. This upcoming weekend is the final push for 400 million plus. It will definitely still make some more after, but not any super substantial.
Nolan Stewart
>never has generals how can you be on Yea Forums for more than 20 minutes and not run into generals? I'm just glad letterboxd generals are gone with their creepy-ass computer-generated word salads.
If this makes its money back, you will get another one at some point. If the movie doesn't however, you'll have to pray that Avatar 2 does really well: Cameron will have to finance the sequel to Alita out of pocket.
Brandon Reed
I came from Yea Forums and you are the mediocre one you son of a bitch don't talk about ALITA like that ever again.
After we find out that the movie has reached 400m WW then we will start hearing about decisions on the sequel soon. That would be about 2-3 months from now. Then it takes 2.5 years from pre-production to the movie's release.
Liam Torres
Avatar 2 is guaranteed x4 the production budget
Oliver Williams
That is pure LOVE in her eyes.
Gabriel Fisher
pure LUST you mean
Christopher Martin
there's a lot of eye in her eyes
Wyatt Wilson
I wonder how many of the digital artists and CG renders ended up masturbating to scenes like this.
James Davis
We can get anything we wish for, so long as we stand by her side. fren
This is probably not the place to post this (in the fanclub general) but it is more appropriate than making a new thread.
Saw the film at the weekend at the cinema and the biggest problem for me was the feeling that I was watching several arcs drastically condensed.
What I assume are separate arcs in the manga (hunter-warrior arc, motorball arc, Zalem arc) are all slammed together and so in the end your left with a feeling of lots of different elements that are probably plenty fleshed out in the manga in their own arcs but feel disjointed, rushed and tacked on in the film.
The bounty hunter card, bounty hunter club, an all the hunter-warrior stuff were very, VERY, anime trope-y.
Disclaimer: I don't care if the film succeeds or flops. Personally I didn't enjoy it. I feel like I would probably enjoy it as a full-length anime series but as a film it felt too rushed which I feel shouldn't be noticeable to people who haven't read / watched the source material, but it is noticeable with this film.
I want to say 2 - 3 years, only because they already have all the sets, cgi, production material, etc. right off the bat instead of needing to make everything from scratch; and they took 3 years to make Alita.
Blake Howard
Is is really lust? I mean, she LOVES being touched by him, she almost fell into a trance while he caressed her cheeks.
>ALITA does not look like a boy >ALITA fell for a guy instead of a girl >ALITA does not treat every men in the movie in a passive-agressive way >ALITA has a very likeable personality
I could point more stuff but it is basically this
Grayson Turner
At the theaters watching for the 3rd time man fuck all these ads!
I wish there was an Alita themed chan to go to when that happens. It's not a big deal anyway, once the sequel comes out in a few years we can have more generals then, too, unless Hiroshimoot fucks something up bad enough by then that the site dies. Alita is love, Alita is life.
I didn't read the manga, and I also feel some parts are rushed or kind of out of place. Alita-Hugo relationship feels rushed for me, I'd have preferred more dad-daughter stuff or Alita exploring the city.
Hudson White
Zapan disappointed me. He didn't seem like pure evil spawn of Satan snake monster at first, just a cocky asshole who likes his job. I expected him to be more than 1-dimensional and come back to assist Alita or something, not try and seduce her into stabbing Hugo like the fucking snake in the eden garden. Pure chaotic evil character may have worked in the manga (didn't read it), but in the realm of this movie... Eh. Disappointed.
I tried a 90% cocoa chocolate bar once, I felt like I was choking on cocoa powder. But damn did it have a sweet aftertaste.
Jace Harris
Because Alita is feminine. You know, like a real-life woman would be.
Ryder Williams
>How Alita Battle Angel's Bad Translation Ruined an Otherwise Manga Masterpiece youtube.com/watch?v=mb-P4rnfQfM Can someone explain how the new translation is supposedly so bad? Just reading the pages shown here doesn't seem to answer the question, and the guy on the video won't even try to explain his opinion.
Austin Lewis
He was more or less the same in the manga. Starts as a regular HW, just kind of dickish, and begins to hate Alita after she kicks his ass in the bar brawl. Rest of his arc is all about revenge.
Austin Lopez
Yeah go fuck a toaster incel, sex slavebots are not going to happen
Parker Davis
I want to go see it again because Alita cute, but I don't want my gf to know because I told her Alita was my waifu jokingly but I was being serious.
Watched it last week. Is it actually just a pretty good movie or did I just think Alita was cute? I can’t tell bros.
Nolan Ortiz
I guess I was spoiled by JoJo part 5 that day, where villains are more likeable than protagonist, especially when they're brutally killed.
Jacob Bennett
Just say you're going with a friend. >cheating on your gf with Alita Based and Alitapilled.
Ryan Foster
no, we don't do that
Luis Sanders
the whole tragedy of his character is that his petty desire for revenge keeps landing him deeper and deeper in the shit he's not entirely treated as a shallow cunt though
Hudson Campbell
>or did I just think Alita was cute? I can’t tell bros. I'm sure you can.
It didn't ruin it, it's just sort of clunky and overly literal But made up for the vastly better image quality
Luke Evans
The particular scene where he whispers into Alita's ear to kill Hugo and then does it himself like a bitch ruined him for me. Then she cut his face off and he got all upset and we saw that even his face is not human. That was better, should've been earlier in the hunter bar place.
Is he gonna come back? If there's no redemption at least fight and kill him in a cool way. Better parts and weapons maybe since his sword is taken...
Hudson Barnes
I don't have any friends and she knows this. I really want to see Alita in imax. I might trick her into going again with me to experience it in imax because we didnt the first time.
James Thompson
>he thinks it is about sex
Not everything is about sex user, I have fucked women before but none made me feel like ALITA did with just her cute mannerisms.
True awkward love has been lost in today's women, they are all way over that point now.
Even if it doesn't, the fact it is a new franchise with an enthusiastic fanbase will attract investors.
The days of coming out with a new franchise, and making big BO with the first movie are over. Hollywood will have to adjust to that- the current franchises are wearing out.
Does Gally even know anything about sex? Because Sechs doesn't and he (female) should have all of Gally's knowledge.
Aiden Taylor
This shot honestly made me want to see the movie
Lincoln Campbell

Carson Perez
Hey /ABAG/ do you stand by in the presence of evil? >neighbor blasts loud music >I DO NOT STAND BY IN THE PRESENCE OF EVIL >politely request him to turn the volume down >he agrees
spoiler free version: the plot of volume 5 revolves around zapan spoilerful version: after his face is cut off he becomes amnesiac and ends up working in a soup kitchen with a qt gf and a new face. After he sees alita on the TV he has a psychotic episode and accidentally kills his gf, then becomes a serial killer in the hunt for alita. The girls father and alita kills him by basically tearing him to pieces (it's the dog guy). Then it's revealed that desty nova bought the berserker body which was previously lost, that he is capable of activating its namesake mode, and that he found zapans brain and restored it from "soup" to "mildly brain damaged" and gives it the berserker body just to see what happens. What happens is that zapan goes fucking insane with vengeance, kills a shitload of characters, turns the scrapyard into the warzone and is eventually killed by alita using a nanomachine collapser bullet as she almost dies herself. A brief dream sequence is shown where soup kitchen zapan wakes up from the nightmare of his real life full with anguish of what he did and his gf tells him to accept his failures instead of rejecting that possibility. A few of the remaining shreds of the berserker body turns into wings to halt alitas fall from the sky.
Wyatt Ross

Jayden Reyes
Arrrrr, matey!!! You are the last of the old salts!
I'm sure that's why Zapan was given more attention in the movie than in the manga : it's so him being a major antagonoist in the sequel would feel more natural.
Why would that be a bad thing? Are you retarded? Imagine having a female-bodied GF without any of the obnoxious garbage that comes with having to deal with a boring female personality. She'd give you blowjobs while playing vidya all day.
Ian Watson
Anyone have the webm of Alita doing stretches in her new body?
>implying this thread is against any rule and should be deleted >implying the jannies aren't Alita bros You really have no idea how we got to /ABAG/ - #46 do you?
One, I want a sequel. The idea of Alita not coming back makes me anxious. Two, it's sad to see something so innocent be rocked with such loss. I want to see her find peace.
I've gone seven times. Cashiers are starting to give me weird looks, but I will still go when I can. Probably again tonight, and for sure again with a friend. I will keep going until my theater refuses to give me a ticket for it.
Eh Jashugan had darker skin in the manga. It isn't a deal-breaker, but no brown Jashugan means no brown Shumira.
Camden Wood
I’m not going to even pretend Alita was going to be successful but this coordinated smear against it on the imminent release of Captain Marvel seems a bit coincidental.
I think a number of people are surprised at how good it's doing, especially audience reception wise. People were expecting another Jupiter Ascending, Ghost in the Shell, or Mortal Engines. But this movie more than likely will break 400 million worldwide.
Some of it is butthurt Marvelfags, and a couple of anti-Latino bigots. The most persistent are angry magna weeboos.
Christian Cook
Honestly that is the only casting choice I had a problem with. Didnt mind the actor they chose for Hugo but they just made him too clean. Shoulda roughed him up a bit
Elijah King
based kishiro >tfw he made one of the greatest mangas ever when he was your age and you have done fuck all with your life
But most people that want to watch SF action movies like Alita doesn't give a fuck about the so called "social justice" and that shit have the opposite effect on weebs and incels.
Lincoln Morris
not him but i think shumira would be a bad idea for the film version of ido/alita we have so far and shouldnt be included.
This, Zapan does get a bit fleshed out later on in the manga but in the first volumes before loosing his face, he's just a cocky asshole who thinks Alita ain't got shit on him until she humiliates him infront of everyone and then just wants revenge
Elijah Sullivan
Me too I'm glad I didn't kill myself before Alita After Alita I may as well kill myself because this is the peak of my life
Did anyone else notice that the talking robot head that collects bountys looked kind of like a Terminator? Maybe like an early concept design or something?
Do you really want to see that much suffering on screen?
Jordan Lopez
Alita isn’t for sexual!
Adam Reed
As much as I love Alita, you're right about this part. While those records aren't as dumb as others, you can have claims like
"Best Valentines day opening by a PG-13 movie in North America"
"Broke the record for Venezuelan lead romance movie released in October"
and other such meaningless categories.
Nolan Long
Realistically can they not give you a ticket? I mean, they can always either go into the showroom to make sure your not masturbating or check security footage, but I'm worried that if I see it too many times they'll either deny me a ticket or let me but call cops on me or something. I think I might start going to another theater for future viewings.
>"Broke the record for Venezuelan lead romance movie released in October" Now give the title please.
Jonathan Powell
god bless ABATAP
Nathan Reyes
>Realistically can they not give you a ticket? Why? I'm not doing anything illegal Besides I go to a different cinema each time I always go alone to the movies, maybe they know me maybe not Idgaf anymore I just want Alita to know I tried my best for her and did my part
Andrew Johnson
so does alita have large eyes because shes a martian or because james cameron wanted to replicate big anime eyes on to screen?
Isaac Sanchez
It's not even canon so going for it would be odd St this point in top of it being shit

Just what you'd expect from the master. (with credit to Rodriguez too, of course)
>No, but I can only go places in walking/biking/busing distance, so that really limits my options.
OK, sure. I've been to two different cinemas because I have family in different places
Seriously though, they know you're a bit odd for seeing the same movie that many times, but it's not like they think it's a big deal or anything. I remember this sort of fanatic has happened before, with Star Wars and Lord of the Rings.
Aquaman is still running in my local kinoplex and it's the second most profitable per screening movie in Norway right now.
Also notice that Wreck it Ralph, and Bohemian Rhapsody are having added screens, while the Norwegian bio-pic Amundsen is dropping a lot faster than Alita is.
So this...this is the power of a CGI waifu, huh? Impressive.
Bentley Clark
Even if it's in Japanese, I kinda want to play the ps1 game adaptation of Gunnm. Sadly, I can't find any website with a link to download the iso. I'll never forgive the assholes who effectively took down EmuParadise.
i been mixing the theaters up broski, but feel you cus a frends gf works at the imax and i dont know how many times iw ant her seeing me see alita. then again, she told me shes seen Glass five times so i think shes same warrior spirit.
>doxxing guy still here. There I thought you’ve disappeared for good.

Nathaniel Gomez
It won't win anything Oscars are a marxist wankfest now about sticking it up to the evil white cis man and the patriarcy Alita is problematic according to these "people" so expect a golden raspberry for Alita The people though love Alita and that's all that matters
Charles Baker
There's an obscure cgi toon porno called Doppelganger where a dude gets acrobatically raped by a cyborg chick. Alita could do all of that.
Luke Russell

I mean, if Ready Player One can get nominated, a film about a white male loser who becomes the hero and he has a female love interest, this can get it.

This is the face she makes after brutally murdering someone. Not gonna lie on any other girl id be freaked the fuck out. But on Alita it just looks adorable. Like a puppy that did something it shouldnt have.

She thinks it to herself. Then she says it. Then she acts it. This is INTEGRITY. Integrity is congruence between thoughts, words, and actions. That's what makes the scene so powerful and inspiring.
Robert Rivera
We made it lads, the japs have begone making fan art.
She didn't expect to crack his skull This is one of my favourites poses and expression of Alita I liked how they gave her crazy eyes after she btfo grewiska the first time Very expressive, it's amazing how life like she was

Not manga but I'd love to see a big budget live action remake of pic related.
This is significant though because they are pushing imax and 3D movies hard in China. China will leap frog over the US in the 3D quality film at this point.
