The only issue was that the promo for GITS wasn't anywhere near as appealing as Alita's I know where he pulled it from and it's not a pleasant place 2 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Fox forced them to release a preview. Jeez, I had forgotten it came out in 2017. Marketing campaigns that long are almost never a good idea, especially if it's not for a franchise film.

GITS probably had more of a promo cost and I imagine Alita had far less. Deadpool 2 had a 135M P&A cost for example (https://deadline.com/2019/03/deadpool-2-box-office-profit-2018-1202583699/), no way Alita cost 65M more.

Quote Ghost In The Shell stands to lose at least $60M, and that’s based off a global B.O. projection of $200M ($50M domestic, $150M international) and combined P&A/production costs of $250M. From BOM: Quote Production Budget: $110 million That's 140m marketing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valonqar Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) Nobody was fooled that it was a JC movie. Rose Salazar is a Literal Who Anime does not translate well into movies GA doesn't care about Anime GA doesn't care about amnesiac robots who want to be human and shit It was overshadowed by CM hype Worst romance ever ruined what could have been a decent sci fi action so WOM was blah JaiBless curse Edited March 31, 2019 by Valonqar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything Alita overperformed, especially compared to pre-release expectations. It won't be a huge profit for the studio, but it should break even in the long run Mods, change the title to 'What Went Right'.

But it wasn't great. Romance was awful. I like romance in JC movies but this was obviously NOT a JC movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OncomingStorm93 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Nothing went wrong, except for the budget. Made for 125m this would have been a success. If that means you reduce the CGi and some action, so be it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
