Anyone get any of them posters?
>Jeru
>Zalem
I just watched it for the second time. The emotion really hits me this time around.
The nuance, the story, the relationships, her actions and dependability on her father figure Ido and her relationship with Hugo.
I love every fucking moment of it.
Also she's cute and strong as fuck.
Yes, films like Aquaman and Green Book are still showing on small screens in the larger kinoplexes months after release. If the average earnings per screen is high, and the bookers know what they're doing, they'll keep it playing while it's earning money.
Some screening deals are also structured so that the studio cut of the box office decreases as the weeks pass - so in those cases it's an extra incentive for the theater to keep it running.

oy vey!!!
>"Finish the mission: destroy Jeruzalem."
What did Cameron mean by this?
I mean Raimi's name didn't appear anywhere per se but... we all know who wrote that script, don't we?
>multicultural society depicted as the result of a worldwide societal collapse
>ethnic people are all thugs
>white man and his magical science offer a promise of something better
It's basically Spider-Man 3.
So I've watched this kino six times but there is still one line that stands out to me as not making any sense
>I want to cut you open and see if you are ugly on the inside, just like the rest
What did she mean by this?
Also why did she want Ido's eyes?
Picked that one up the other day. I just need to pony up for a frame now. Can't say I'm really a fan of the other posters she got.
It took my tiny brain too long to get this
fucking lel
Wait, that's illegal
.....Or not? She's at least 300
Because people's intestines are hideous and smelly.
And because psychos want weird things.
well, they are canonically space nazis
she and gewishka and co. liked murdering girls. and probably selling their cyborg parts but maybe not, just for fun since grewishka can get away with it.
Only one cinema in the city will leave Alita’s one showing in March 8th.
But at least during the day.
I will not be inactive.
Shes the serial killer who has been murdering women. So, "like the rest" refers to her other victims, who were supposedly all pretty women.
In the manga the serial killer was a random ugly mutant who was jealous of beautiful women and had no association with Grevishka/Makaku.
I'm going to watch the final local showing of Alita on my birthday!
also, she probably had issues with being a cyborg with only a human face left so maybe thats why she murdered women and gutted them. thats speculation, but i dont think they explored that aspect of that enough in the film. alita def has body issues with hugo though, the way she looks down when they first meet and he says "oh, youre a cyborg" hnnnng
i could rewatch this scene for her facial expressions for hours
didnt post in correct order and someone just needs to make a webm but now i'm worried cus you guys cant count
this girls face and voice is gold
Did we make it past #99? Why are these threads not numbered any more?
>why are these threads not numbered any more
because people can't count, some think numbers are gay and some want to end on 99
Because we got past 100 and it doesn't matter anymore.
>TFW no robot gf
She's not a robot.
...
We also need the part where she's checking under the covers
And the part where she tries to walk and falls
There's not enough good art of her
Alita always matters.
yeah
Its an allegory for religion
video game when?
Welcome aboard. It gets more intense the more times you watch. I hope you have some time blocked out for when the BR drops
>Nazi colony attacks Jewish names
I'm not so sure it is about religion in general chief
There's a PS1 game.
Recommended it everyone at work today. At least one will go this week.
I want Alita to do a quality wink so badly in the sequel with those big eyes it would be amazing
Not necessarily. Japanese sometimes use Christian symbology in magna/anime to give the created world an exotic flavor- few Japanese are actually Christian. It is best not to over-read into it.
a chinese company works on it maybe
There is a cheap phone game
Stand-alone motorball game is my Christmas wish
Well done lad.
So, if the sequel happens, I take it it will be about Motoball and Zapan? How many moview would it take just to finish original manga story? Not even talking about Last Order and beyond.
This edit works on so many different levels.
Surely a trilogy is enough.
Thanks guys, sad I missed #99 and #100 but it feels good the threads are staying. I hope it stays in the cinemas for another month so I can go watch it sometime when I'm literally the only person in the cinema
>Jeruzalem
>melchizedek
>German martian girl called the Panzer Bride
What did they mean by this?
honestly these threads are a nice constant
i like checking in throughout the day and sharing some good vibes with fans
Just play Metal Gear Revengeance
Missed 99 too.. any chance someone got screencaps?
What, have you been away since 2005? We have an integrated Archive here now, you boomer.
This. I currently am and it's great, especially considering how fucked up the development for that one was.
Here
Nazis didnt like any religion, and Zalem is essentially a eugenics facility anyway. Also, the neo-nazis didnt attack Zalem.
>Nazis didnt like any religion
not really buy I don't want to spark an off topic discussion.
is it on PC?
Yeah I was legit having a shit day until I got home and opened up this thread.
> healed
It was a false flag paid by the russians form jupiter in order to
1/ destroy all the flying cities and blame it on the french form venus if successful
2/ if plan fail anyone will blame mars
martians were just a pawns in the game.
#1 in Australia for 3 straight weekends
Finally, my shitty country does something right for a change
Well I did it, I ordered the first 3 hardcover volumes of the manga.
This is what she's done to me.
my town's theater shows this again on Friday and Saturday but starts right before midnight. my gf will think I'm crazy going a 2nd time alone in the middle of the night but I need to do it for alita!
This movie is guaranteed to make over 400mill
Once you factor in all other merch, bluray and online sales, it's very likely 450-500 mill total.
There is no fucking way a movie makes half a billion and not gets sequels, literally leaving money on the table
>I said my sword was a tool of justice. Not used in anger. Not used for vengeance. But now... Now I'm not so sure. And besides...THIS ISN'T MY SWORD!
Fuck, now I want Alita x Raiden crossover.
I had to wonder when I watched it, was this "The Last Order" I never read the comics but I know that's the name of it.
Anytime we see a flashback and her old CO gave her an order I was like "I bet this was the last order" then we get another flashback and I'm like "no wait, this was the last order".
>my gf will think I'm crazy going a 2nd time
Sometimes I feel lonely but there are pros to being single. I enjoy being able to do whatever I want, like seeing Alita 6 times
This
>Russia is the fuckhuge planet
>France is the planet named after the goddess of love
>Mars is Germany named after the God of war
Neat
Which one is the US
If Alita gets sequels I will make a point of avoiding their trailers so as to not get spoiled, that's how much I liked this movie.
I was in from the get-go, with RobRod directing an anime fighting robogirl, but I did not expect to be nearly as charmed as I was.
Yes.
Hey, they've got something in common! Look at all these living brains in vats!
Sure. Better use a gamepad though.
And yeah, that game is based as fuck.
>US
>2536
yeah it does have it's downsides. But WHO'S RULES DO FUCKING LIVE BY?
I will go Friday night. I will have the hall for myself probably too. Will post here as proof.
>WHO'S RULES DO I LIVE BY
fucking based, godspeed user
Yes. It runs extremely well even on mediocre machines.
Would recommend it too but it's playable without alright.
Fuck that's good shit I'm proud of us.
>makes anime real
Also: music.
MG:Revengence music is a gift from the gods.

Fuck off, I like this game.
This guy's face makes me crack up every time
>sure kid
Standing here
I realize
You were just like me
Trying to make history
I'm already set on preordering the blu ray. I'm doing it for the sequel.
Nothing, unless you count the Scrapyard built on top of Kansas City. Orbital Earth Federation is Wakanda.
Electromagnetic Kung Fu vs bullet-time dicing action
Who wins?
How many oranges till we get a sequel boys?
But who's to judge
The right from wrong
When our guard is down
I think we'll both agree
I don't think Raiden could keep up with her. He couldn't even kill Vamp.
Yup. This trailer here is extremely nice too.
youtube.com
so cute
Hype rising.
Raiden pulls off some ridiculous shit in MGR:R. Like German-suplexing Metal Gear Ray. And that was before he got his new robot body.
I am sad to admit that MGR:R Raiden may have Alita's number. This motherfucker is outright broken.
I have never even bought a bluray of anything in my entire life, but I will preorder alita
This will be the first and maybe only movie I will ever pay for outside the cinema
do you think an Alita mod could exist later?
She was so fucking cute here, suddenly all shy and reserved. Her mannerisms and expressions were fantastic
Maybe read the manga, Alita is DBZ tier.
the frogs also did it
How do you have a general this long for one movie?
Have you ever been in love? You can just babble on about nothing forever.
Only after she got her Imaginos body. Literally nanomachines son.
a broken clock is right twice a day.
but seriously good job aussies
growth update when? We're still at 350M
>I played motorball you know
>Could've gone pro if I hadn't joined the Hunter-Warriors
So this is what it's like being a normalfag
>making it look like Vector is a big deal
Silly.
Am I the only one who dreams up shitty fanfic self insert stories where you're a hunterwarrior and go on hunts together with Alita?
That violence breeds violence
But in the end it has to be this way
I've carved my own path
You followed your wrath
But maybe we're both the same
The world has turned
And so many have burned
But nobody is to blame
Yet staring across this barren wasted land
I feel new life will be born
Beneath the blood stained sand
In the end it has to be this way!
I WANT TO KISS ALITA ON HER....
i thought black in chinese's poster was a no go
we should have a character popularity poll
without Alita because we all know she's #1
EVERYTHING!
Looks like Captain Marvel ain't being recieved too well in China according to early reactions from press screenings. Looks like Alita might still have some decent chance to make more money in China.
>Michael Kaine "pick an eye, look at it and don't blink".webm
kek all these incels in love with some goofy big eyed robot, its like you nerds became a parody of yourselfs lmfao
This. Just look at /ksg/.
Feet
Bait or overcompensation? Either way, have your (You).
Green Book is doing phenomenally well in China. That should help Alita a bit. i don't know if China recognized Mr. Ali starred in both movies.
What a day, huh?
How many thousands of cripple girl threads are there?
Wondering this too
>/ksg/ - Katawa Shoujo General: Katawa Shoujo General #3615
Gotta keep those numbers hidden.
Impressive.
He's a villain so they don't mind
Yea Forums, I am so fucking proud of you right now
>He's a villain so they don't mind
did you hear that Disney?
make Finn a sith so China may save your episode IX
Is this the first time a general for a movie reached 100 ?
So, at the end, how much do you think the movie will do? We still have a week and a half before Alita leaves the big screen
WHAT?!
>n-no this can't be happening ARGHHHH
I wonder where that man is now.
Wasnt the first /abag/ just called /abag/ while the 2nd was named /abag/ #1?
Just by theatre tickets?
I never really got into that topic until now but I suppose the people who did want to see it have done so by now so I don't think there's much to come.
I'm going a 2nd time though but not many people do this
There's another saucer on ther orbit above Zalem called Jeru. It's engineering, you have to understand.
400 is the floor; maybe 430-475 million? If it somehow makes 500 million, then a sequel is absolutely certain.
Jerome has disappeared from /alita/. What a shame.
Cheek
All are healed here if they choose it
>Possibly porn
Oh dear.
is there any good porn yet
I contributed to this excellence
user no Alita is not for lewd
Somewhere between 450 and 500
China will push to 150, South Korea to around 35, Japan can finish at around 20, maybe more
no and there will be none. Alita is pure and shall remain pure
Normal big screen run time is 14 weeks, and Alita has only three. She will be hit very hard by CM just like Dragon 3 has damaged her on the second week. But I reckon she will have long legs as her relative week to week decline is 30%-45%.
There will be none of that.
Nope. Now that movie lore is “last of the flying cities” who knows what’s up there or not.
did he liked playing in Alita? It was a little bit out of touch compared to his other works
He seemed pretty happy.
>is there any good porn yet
>>white man and his magical science offer a promise of something better
Except it wasn't better. That's why Doctor Ido left the heavens to live amongst the normal people. He rather use his skills to help people who needed the help most. The poor and the destitute.
Based martian cyborg cuties
I agree
I never expected this to happen on my second viewing
I'm now at my fifth and Alita is even better
I hope I catch a 6th on Friday
What makes you think what the kids think they know is actually what supposed to have happened? It's clearly nothing more than a story passed on to them. If there were multiple cloud cities (that is, more than two that should be there), why would they go out of their way to move Zalem closer to equator where it would make more physical sense?
its too late for Japan there is a new Doraemon movie
>Peter... I call it white man's burden.
Okay so that bit was from Spider-Man 1.
Que?
Aw, that's good to hear user. Stuff like that is what I continue to post her, for the fun experience. Been her since the beginning, will be to the end.
It's because her insides are visible and she is ugly so she wants to turn everyone ugly to compensate
it's an allegory on feminism and why they hate beauty
The movie lies to you.
Alita won my heart
We don't really get updated on foreign until a weekly basis. Next big push is Sunday. We will be above 400 million, and then rest of it's run is slowly climbing up.
If I had a place of my own I'd turn it into a shrine for Alita and everything that is hers
She's giving me motive to fix my life
At what point will detractors be forced to admit the movie wasn't a flop?
When the sequel is released.
Good. The best tribute to the ideals of wonder and justice are to live a good life.
>I will not stand by in the presence of evil
I think the early characterization of Grewiska is a little off Makaku was better characterized but I understand why it couldn't be in the film
But my life in the sewers!
98 to go
here is 99
400 million is when it's not a flop at all. 450 million it has been making money.
head, and then I'll pat it.
Technically both part of the same city
This
Alita has so many subtle details, it's a finely crafted multilayer smart film, no wonder the snark, quip post-ironic reviewers didn't get
How can one man be so based?
>youtube.com
If the marketing campaign actually did cost $200 mil that is
I knew about Salem and Jeru but I didn't know about that. Is Kishiro actually taking writing advice from Rami?
lewd inside
Don't know, seemed like he really liked doing it, given his interviews and behind the scenes footage. He was easily one of the best parts of the movie. It could also be his style changed a little given it's the first time he worked with Rodriguez.
Nah he's just Japanese. Also is that birb an alcoholic?
I still would like for business experts here to tell me how much money does captain Marvel need to make to break even if Alita with it's 400 million is a flop.
Rosa gave an amazing performance
Oscae worthy but Oscars are shit and political now so she won't win anything
Sad
What the fuck, I didn't even know this can was out. Can I still buy this somewhere??? PLEASE
Captain Marvel is already profitable because all the MCU money goes in a big pool.
You can't film a better character introduction
The music, lighting, movies, expression, that simple "well"
Perfect, this is cinema at it's finest
In my opinion, the highest she goes is 450 to just barely touching 500 million. It has 100 more days potential at box office and it will hit 400 million this upcoming weekend, hell, I heard that supposedly it already hit that. I any case. It hitting 450 million, based on my predictions, absolutely warrants a sequel.
I had a thought before about the whole 'people bringing their family members to Alita and them loving it' stories. Obviously we all love the film, but a secondary point here is that there's good odds that a lot of the Yea Forums posters don't have the best relationship with their family. Being able to make contact with your family members and bring them to something that excites you and you care about is super valuable especially for parents. They're happy that they can spend time with you and share something you love, especially since if you have more obscure hobbies like say /tg/ or Yea Forums they might not really get it. Alita has healed you and your family in ways which perhaps you didn't even expect.
Same
I even want to buy a 4K player just for her
>I got two of these posters with me
Feels pretty damn good, gonna get them both laminated when I can
My guess is marketing cost is 110 to 150 million, because of the superbowl ad, all the advertising in Asian countries, the Alita experience, and so on.
Neat.
That's to assume all Yea Forums posters are lonely with bad family ties. But for those that do, yeah, Arita really has healed some people and I'm glad I'm getting to experience it.
CM doesn't need to make money, as the MCU is already in the green. Anyway, people will see CM just for the post-credit scene, the cameos and easter eggs. Meanwhile, people went to Alita to discover something new
Can't believe I'm saying it but thank God for Aussies
No, the advertising is over 200 million because some guy from Forbes said so.
Movie was fucking great.
Thanks for the advice Yea Forums, I didnt enjoy a movie like this in a long time.
A shame that browsing this thread I learned about the money problem tho...this is honestly depressing.
Fuck me, these Alita threads keep getting more and more wholesome
Everything is so sincere, it's a nice change of pace from ironic shit
But yeah, my whole family loved it, and it was cool seeing my dad look that stoked after seeing a movie
Nice.
I know my dad's and sis' tastes. They wouldn't like it. I still said that I enjoyed it.
Recommended it to all me frens tand coworkers that I know will like it though.
The same guy who said Captain Marvel doesn't have to prove a damn thing at the box office.
The movie has been performing better than expected though so don't worry too much. Anime adaptations don't do this well.
To be honest Alita marketing did not seem that overwhelming. Like most people didn't know about it, where as I see captain fungus posters everywhere.
Hey bros, my friend made this sticker pack of Alita pics. He thinks that you might appreciate this.
I hate Alita btw
I'll be back in a bit with more OC content. I want to go back to sleep for a little bit. Love you guys and keep sharing comfy Alita.
Went twice with my bro.
I don't think that all do. But I know that I don't share a lot with my dad in particular so being able to share this with him was a rare thing for me. I wish everyone the best with their families- they're important in ways that I didn't realise when I was younger.
The movie's actually performing very well, it will be considered a modest hit by the end of it's run.
hahahahaha i did that, because i didn't liked /alita/ but faggots mods deleted the thread
Yeah, I'm young, I'm glad I realized that now. James Cameron really likes making stories with a universal appeal, different aspects of the human experience that makes the film a journey really anyone can like.
Nice, added
>official 100 /ABAG/ threads
The seventh time in fifty minutes.
I'll see her wake up again.
you and your bro have good taste
have a great time at the movies user
I couldn't possibly disagree, it really is absolutely perfect. There's such an uplifting warmth from beginning to end. On the big screen it felt like I was being wrapped up in a blanket. Pure comfort.
Man, I'm so glad I ended up seeing this after leaving the trailers feeling cold. I was this close to missing what will almost certainly end up my favorite film of the year, and maybe one of my favorites ever. I can't deny that it has its flaws, but goddammit, I love this movie.
now thread #62
*siiip*
That was a good alita thread
My fellow 'well' appreciator with top taste
To be fair, It's the first since a extremly long time (and probably the first time since the 2010's) that I walked out from a movie thinking I wouldn't mind rewatching it the same day.
And it's been quite a while since I haven't watched a good movie at thteater. Usually, I went to stupid flicks like The Meg or Solo to have a laugh, but this time, I really enjoyed it.
Same here. I have never watched a single movie more than twice in the cinema, but I watched Alita 4 times. Enjoyed every single time. I have never felt so positive about a movie before.
>WHO'S RULES DO I LIVE BY?
>RULES OF NATURE
A game in the style of MGR is exactly how I imagine a game about Alita, it would be perfect, this movie makes me want to play that game again
in a couple of years people will see this and think "oh right, that shitty marvel movie was in the theater too when alita came out"
NOSE. GIVE HER KISSU KISSU
Trailers really were not great, I almost missed it myself.
What said. Flops don't matter if sequels get greenlit anyways.
Heart
SAVED
>fucking gnomeo and juliet got a sequel
>people are pretending Alita 2.0 or Alita Fallen Angel isn't happening
It grossed $200M on a shoe string budget
>the facepaint was dogblood
more like this movie was dogshit
at least alita was cute
Look, I'm hoping against hope that Alita gets the sequel(s) she deserves too, but one of these movies made $200 million on a $36 million budget and the other did not.
but user!
The marketing budget!
"Thanks gnome it's friday", you must add 200M so Gnomeo and Juliet breaks even
>we live in a world where a gnomeo and juliet movie makes $200m but Alita struggles to break even
What sort of fucked up reality is this...
I am still hoping, user.
Look at the bright side. We watched Alita. No one can take this from us. We are blessed in a way.
l-lips...
>Alita struggles to break even
Alita is about struggle
Nothing comes without a fight
It's fitting to Alita that her film had to struggle
She wouldn't have it any other way
And it broke even, 375mil already
It's all profit from 350mil
The sequels are happening
It will turn a profit, get a sequel, which will be released when people get utterly tired of capeshit and will be ready to jump to another trend
Which will end up being cyberpunk and sci-fi in general. Alita 2 will be a massive success
>ADULTS unironically going to see a movie called 'BATTLE ANGEL'
ahahHAHAHAH
>can't keep thread count right for a measly 100 threads
>can't even make a poster of 100 OPs without biffing numbers
>autism: the absolute state of
this
>Alita 2 will be a massive success
This. The current box office could have been better with good marketing. Through word of mouth and people seeing it at home the audience for a sequel will be way larger.
>being this insecure
that cyberpunk game from the Witcher creators could create a huge cyberpunk/sci-fi craze and I'm going to buy it and make Alita my character, I don't even care
>ADULTS unironically 'FROGPOSTING'
Yiiiiiikes
zapan is right
>children making fun of a movie because adults like it
>unironically
>retarded_frog.pic
You need to be 18 to post here kid.
>w-what will my normalfag friends think :(
>no more numbered general
I've let her down. I've slept through 99 haven't I?
We'll do it again when the Blu ray comes out, user.
I bought a 4k box set for the planet of the apes trilogy since those were worked on by weta as well.
You should keep a journal and write these stories down...if you have the time.
/ABAG/ has transcended to the higher state /ALITA/. Numbers are no longer relevant. Every thread is #99 now.
Remember what happened to Yugo and Ido
Alita isn't wife material
>he hasn't watched the OVA
You forgot one
The dog blood was an improvement compared to the tar in the manga, although fang was really based in the manga
but I liked the inner monologue of Alita when she put the tar lines under her eyes, like why I did this?
Makaku was a brain Eaton junkie, he wasn't thinking straight, but damn, the story arc was muc much better than I expected. I like the themes of the manga so far.
the last order is the key to deactivate the supercomputer that has full control of casuality. the key was given by the chinese vampire to alita so she may use it in the event that somebody tries to use the computer for evil. incidentally it also gives alita the supercomputer's compute power.
later on she steals a wormhole reactor making her a god
Just posting cute angel
Welp I'm convinced to go watch it again
She wont beat Captain Marvel, but I like cute angels regardless
Thank you Australia
Same, I will go on Friday if she's on for the sixth viewing
It's my favourite film ever so I may as well enjoy it fully, everytime I notice something new
How can she be so cute and deadly at the same time?
This
tfw last showing available for me is thursday, I would see it on friday again otherwise
>he doesn't believe in angels
I didn't either until I saw it.
theater updated the schedule, tonight is the last screening.
so it will be my last time seeing this on the big screen.
damn that was a wild ride
Can the blurays be pre-ordered yet?
Its unfortunate that we live in a world where the noble and the pure rarely wins.
i have no idea.
i'll never EVER pre-order shit
History will vindicate Alita.
she'll beat her in the long run
Wow you combined two of my favorite things ever. You're a GOD
>Captain Marvel: 91%
>Alita: 60%
I've done it plenty of times, I don't see the problem with it. Not like it costs more.
Fuck off K.A.O.S.
AGH MY EARS
MY EAR DRUMS BURST
DON'T TALK SO LOUD
I'm seeing her again in a few hours, bros.
i'm not spending money for something i can't have immediatly.
luckly i'm going to a comic convention this weekend where i'm going to buy everything i see regarding alita
>i'm not spending money for something i can't have immediatly
So you never order anything online period? That's kind of weird.
FUCK OFF K.A.O.S!
Have a good time user!
But even the most critical reviewers love Alita as a character.
And even the most positive reviewers still think that Brie Larson's Carol Danvers fucking sucks.
SOMETIMES i order online.
but then i have to go through sheninigans because no carrier sends where i live
It wasnt me who made the edit but glad you like it, here is another one
EEEEEEUUUGGGHGHGHHH
>at store
>saw special promotional 28x42 poster and trading cards for Alita
>ignored it because wasn't interested in movie
>week later got healed by Alita
>went back to store to get poster and cards
>promotion was taken down and products were completely gone
I messed up really bad, bros, and it hurts
Get over it, bro. Ebay is a thing.
Good Alita

So it's

Eh?

This is how you melt an ALITA if you look like Hugo
She looks really beautiful in this scene.
yer right
>They're happy that they can spend time with you
Yeah, um, that's not the case with everyone...
where is fresh bread?
