I think your numbers for CM are really too high..I don't see 200 Million happening.....but, yeah, a lot of the Anti CM people are going to look silly on Monday. And the ones looking the silliest will be the Alita Challenge people. I have seen some pretty stupid fanboy behavior, but the Alita Chanllenge takes the cake for sheer dumbness. The ability of the people who think this is going to work to ignore reality is pretty damn astonishing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will they do on Sunday when we get the numbers and Captain Marvel kills that film worldwide? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KP1025 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I wouldn't mind the Alita Challenge if it was merely a positive campaign. I support those who want more people to see their favorite films in theaters. It's the negativity I have an issue with. Encourage others to see Alita in theaters without bashing Captain Marvel and telling everybody to skip it because of the politics. That's just spiteful and really irritating for people interested in both films. It doesn't have to be one or the other. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I actually wanted Alita to succeed more, I only dislike that challenge because it is coming from a place of negativity. In a vacuum I would celebrate Alita going up 10% this weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WittyUsername Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Frankly, the whole “Alita challenge” thing has soured me on the film as a whole. I thought the movie was fine, if a bit awkward in places, but I was rooting for it to get a sequel regardless. However, the moment the anti-SJW types (including noted creepy douche James Woods) apparently decided to use the film as a vehicle for their anti-CM propaganda, I’m not so sure I want to see a sequel. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it gets worse: Some of the "Anti SJW" crowd...the bigots who don't like any movie with a Woman or a Minority in a Heroic Lead role..have jumped on the Alita Challenge band wagon to try to hurt Captain Marvel. But doesn't ALita also have a heroic female lead? Yes, but the anti SJWers think they can use the Alita Challenger to hurt Captain Marvel, which they see as their greater enemy.

I am not sure if the Alita challenge was started by the Anti SJW crowd or the over the top ALita fans, but if the first the Alita fanboys fell right into the trap,if the second they formed an alliance with some pretty digusting allies. Not a good look for Alita fandom in any event. And this is why ignoring reality and living in your own little fantasy world is bad news;It always bites you in the butt eventually.

Problem is it's always the loud ones who attract the most attention. They damage the image of the whole group. It's unfair, I know, but that's the way it is.

dudalb Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Tracking for a 120 TO A 140 Million opening in the US, and 350 Million world wide. Which means it will probably take in more in it's first weekend then Alita will take in in it's whole run. That AlitaChallenge is really working great,folks..... And what is sad is that the ALita fans,by falling in with the Anti SJW crowd, don't get they are being used by the Anti SJW crowd just to try to hurt Captian Marvel. The ANti SJWers hate Alita just as much as they do Captain Marvel,and are cynically trying to use one to hurt the other. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generalization is one of the 'weapons' used by certain groups, I think avoiding to do the same will help in the long run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you advance, just from the numbers involved;little or None. The Alita Challenge people are just too few in number..though they make quite a bit of noise..to have any impact on CM's box office. These kind of fan stunts never work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 So it seems to me DC is abandonning space/Fantasy/dimensions stuff no ? Superman and Green Lantern are in limbo. Next Batman will be likely more grounded than TDK trilogy. So no aliens in DC land for a long time I think. Unless New Gods are from outer space. SO Grounded movies and solo movies, I wonder what led to that decision making ... (NOT). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of DC's upcoming movies are grounded outside of WW84 Edited March 8, 2019 by BeastByTheBay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeeSoh Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) New Gods is entirely set in Space/other worlds and is the DC movie I am looking most forward to. I love the cosmic stuff and DC has a rich outer space universe. I wish they explore it more beyond just the lanterns Edited March 8, 2019 by ZeeSoh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
