Alita is doing better than i thought. I predicted 15M OW and it's doing almost double. The power of Jim!

Hey I am only falling off the Empire State Building half as fast as I though I was, that means things are going to be OK.

But thanks for a amusing attempt to spin.

It’s pretty good, nothing deep but very solid.

 

I kinda appreciate My Hero Aca for beeing just a simple, fun show. So many shows try to go into thematic and pschological depths, some succed and are great, some fail and fall flat on their faces, its nice to have something that simply wants to entertain the viewer and nothing more.

I said from the beginning it was a hard sell. It's actually doing better than Edge of Tomorrow. That's a movie it should be compared to.

Clearly it's not an NY/LA type of movie although I doubt it does much in wide release. It's being released with little fanfare despite good reviews.

I think MGM paid $17.5m for worldwide rights so even if it's doesn't do great business, they likely will break even or make a small profit since I think they sold overseas rights.

wait a sec, deadline is saying 27M for Alita is four days. huh

As long as Alita does more than Marry Poppins (WW) i'll find some solace...

Needs a good run run in China for that.

Hey wait isnt that the date for Godzilla vs King Kong?

Godzilla vs Kong would most certainly move, I think if they want to stay in May, I would move to May 9th or May 15th, move to end of June and move In The Heights to August or perhaps April now that there is no real big films for Easter

Edge of tomorrow true Friday was around 8.8M and that had summer days in front of it for it's legs.

Pre sales looks decent in China right now, indicating a high 40 to 50's opening weekend and a total of around 100m which is where most SH movies land. But then again Aquaman's PS was nothing out of the ordinary (even pretty low compared to SH movies in 2018) but it went on to obliterate even the most optimistic predictions. Black Panthe had good PS and was expected to do well on OW but its OW multiplier and legs were atrocious. So who knows, it will all depend on how the movie is received. 

 

Opening close to CNY where so many movies (especially Wandering Earth) are doing huge business is a factor that could hurt Alita, but that remains to be seen. 

 

But overall PS is decent. Not great but not bad either.

Alita is going to have to better then decent in China to pull ALita out of the hole, though.

Bond moving out of February means BOP will likely dominate, if it wasn't for Peter Rabbit 2, WB could release Scooby on February 14th 2020 to take advantage of the holiday weekend.

I really like Alita but the numbers aren't good so far. I'm not going to be delusional about a film's box office just because I like it.

I don't see Disney making Alita 2 when they can spend the money on a live action Home on the Range remake instead

maybe in 20 years there'll be nostalgia for it and they can do a live action alita remake.
