Not only is the Alita manga 30 years old, but Alita's story continues with the newest volume, chapter 7 of Mars Chronicle, coming out April 13, 2021, with Yukito Kishiro using new digital software to draw it. @doc_ido https://t.co/BZKX9FOET9
Rotten Tomatoes just posted a news update listing announced Disney & 20th Century studios films. It appears 6 slots are not filled for 2021-23. Rumors are that Deadpool 3 & Predator are about to be announced. Alita may also be announced. @doc_ido https://t.co/Um5QAPLxZH
StarofElyon, 20th Century Movies were not discussed at today's Disney Investor Meeting. So it appears Disney is still seriously considering an Alita sequel. That's great news!!! @doc_ido #AlitaSequel https://t.co/gKVTIzMVBE
The Alita blurays appear to be selling well at Walmart, and are selling even better at Best Buy which has discounted the reg bluray to $9.99, undercutting Walmart. Alita has a decent chance of getting back into The Number's top 100 bluray sellers of 2020. @doc_ido #AlitaSequel
Amazon & Best Buy are running ads on Google for the Alita DVDs & blurays. The Alita blurays may return to the top 100 bluray sellers on Black Friday. #AlitaSequel
The Alita Sequel Petition has just reached 167,000 signatures. Excellent. Keep going. @doc_ido https://t.co/SR1bk5mtcO
A Disney+ prequel series might cover the first half of Mars Chronicle, with chibi Alita & chibi Erica. Or it might cover the period just before Alita & Gelda did the assault on Zalem. In any event, it seems Rosa Salazar would star in the prequel. #AlitaSequel @doc_ido
Good news & bad news. Walmart has the Alita blurays in stock & is selling the Alita reg bluray at $9.96, so Walmart sales of Alita should be strong. Best Buy is also discounting Alita & has the blurays in stock. Amazon is out of stock & high-priced, so Amazon sales will be low
One of the most insightful commentaries on Western Civilization was on page 17 of A HISTORY OF EUROPE IN THE MODERN WORLD. @doc_ido
@KowalcikK @jumpstreetcorb @doc_ido 20 Century studios only reported $128,000 for the first three days. A guess is that Alita took in about $180,000 at the box office over 2 weeks. Alita fought that box office battle with honor. @doc_ido
