1st movie sucks. Poor Angelina, she deserves much more than this. Another bomb... unarmed by her.

They fixed: What’s giving further juice to the lofty Captain Marvel stateside forecast is that we’re hearing the pic’s advance ticket sales are beating that of Captain America: Civil War https://deadline.com/2019/03/captain-marvel-box-office-opening-record-preview-1202569811/

They indirectly influenced and that is not illegal. If it doesn't matter, why did Fox remade the third act of Dark Phoenix (prob to get a more conclusive ending)? If Fox gave up doing the Dark Phoenix trilogy because of the future merger, why is it so hard to believe that New Mutants has not been released yet because of the merger and Disney's plans for X-men? Alita could be a new franchise in Disney. X-Men will be rebooted. The position is different. She wanted to expand the franchise and show new stories. I agree. I didn't understand your point.

The announcement of the Doom movie had been way before. July 2017 at Comic Con. By the end of June 2018, the US Department of Justice had already given antitrust approval to Disney. A big step for the merger. Disney can't take decisions but can influence them. Lauren Shuler Donner Confirms Fox Marvel Movies on Hold; Wants ‘X-Men’ Franchise to “Evolve”

Reshoots were supposed to make the film scarier and would begin in late September last year, well after Disney-Fox negotiations had advanced (and some agencies and departments had already approved the merger). Do you think it had nothing to do?

Do you think the spin offs projects like X-Force and Kitty Pride were canceled because Fox thought would be bad ideas? It has nothing to do with the merger?

Fox doesn't know either. Their history with horror films is deplorable. And I was talking about the distributors which are not dead. Fox will work under Disney control and a lot of the Fox team will be fired. Where did you get that from? I just said that Disney doesn't know how to promote a film like this. Their specialty is family movies.

Disney won't release it in theaters because they don't know how to promote a movie like this. New Mutants could make The Nun numbers in hands of another distributor.

I don't "think", it was reported: https://variety.com/2018/digital/news/disney-disney-streaming-service-launch-2019-1203023789/

This source is dubious. Disney+ will be a service for families. I'm not sure New Mutants is a family movie. Hulu, maybe.

Pathetic. I wasn't posting there, but I was seeing the news about the movie. Locking the topic instead of organizing it is ridiculous.

"Disney is not evil" “Walt Disney Co. studios declined to screen the movie for The Times’ critics, citing what it called unfair coverage of its business ties with the city of Anaheim,”“Walt Disney Co. studios declined to screen the movie for The Times’ critics, citing what it called unfair coverage of its business ties with the city of Anaheim,” the statement read. “The Times will continue to review and cover Disney movies and programs when they are available to the public. ... It is unclear whether Disney’s “boycott” extends to advertising (there were no studio ads for Thor: Ragnarok in today’s print editions of the Los Angeles Times, New York Times or Wall Street Journal). Movie ads are a major source of revenue for publications like the Los Angeles Times. Cutting off such revenue would represent a blow to the struggling newspaper, which offered buyouts to senior staff this past summer. https://deadline.com/2017/11/disney-los-angeles-times-battle-anaheim-coverage-boycott-1202201260/ That was officially reported. I don't want not even to imagine what they do behind the scenes.

Alita’s $56.2M weekend is higher than estimates we were hearing ahead of the session which included strong starts in Russia, France and Mexico. The question is what her legs will look like in some of the European and more mature markets moving forward (she certainly has runway ahead before Captain Marvel takes flight). Currently, Alita is outpacing Ready Player One (+5%) and The Maze Runner (+43%) in the same group of a total 86 offshore markets and at today’s rates. IMAX and 3D box office contributed nicely to the weekend at 35% and 10% of the overseas total, respectively. https://deadline.com/2019/02/alita-battle-angel-the-wandering-earth-happy-death-day-2u-aquaman-china-global-international-box-office-1202559181/

Pretty sure that's an estimate. You can't have an exact number without knowing the release and marketing costs. And release/marketing costs in China for Fox are virtually zero.

From dhd: Outside film finance sources with knowledge of the Alita‘s budget have informed us that breakeven is anywhere between $500M-$550M

Sunday AM Update: Refresh for chart and more analyis: When a studio or a filmmaker builds a movie for north of $170M, the expectation is to soar to the greatest heights at the box office, and a passion project in the hands of James Cameron as producer — what studio wouldn’t double down on that, especially in an era starving for fresh franchises? His Alita: Battle Angel, directed by Robert Rodriguez, is easily winning the Presidents Day box office, with a $27.8M 3-day and $33M and a revised 5-day of $41.7M . But the pic, despite beating its tracking and an $11.6M Saturday, +55% over Friday, is still a long way from any kind of profitability. Rival B.O. analysts believe that her domestic result at this 5-day level has a shot of hitting $100M. https://deadline.com/2019/02/alita-battle-angel-box-office-bomb-1202558922/

Thank you. I didn't see part 2
