Lol ofc Deadline is constantly reminding us that Alita will only get a quarter of the revenue from China. Haven't seen them say it constantly to other films...
The plot is awesomely ridiculous though. Honestly I like balls to the wall Sci-fi it's called Sci-Fi for a reason lol. This isn't supposed to be an episode of Cosmos.
Paramount got $60M to sell China rights.
$135M Budget - $60M = $75M
$455M Worldwide - $170M China = $285M with probably another $15M coming from Japan. So a $300M gross on a $75M budget is pretty great. It will do 4x for Paramount.
Total Lifetime Grosses
Domestic:
$21,077,471
24.2%
+ Foreign:
$65,854,981
75.8%
= Worldwide:
$86,932,452
$100M WW seems safe. It has Europe and other Asian markets like China, Philippines and Hong Kong left to open. I know Resurrection F did only $1.6M in China can Broly break out to like $10M there?
