It seems Disney wants their movies to earn worldwide box office revenues of $700 - $800 million. Assuming an Alita sequel gets only $370 million in worldwide box office, it would still earn an estimated profit of $89 million. Assuming $450M box office earns $129 million profit.
Every day there are signs that Alita: Battle Angel has a large, passionate fanbase. After more than 3 years the Alita sequel petition is still growing. The FX movie channel keeps showing Alita again & again. And every day more beautiful Alita fan art hits the web. #AlitaSequel
@AlitaBabe @inkedrescuer No, Alita is not on Disney+ in the USA, apparently due to the FX Channel having purchased the broadcast rights for a certain period. The FX rights may expire soon, after which Alita may appear on Disney+ in the U S. #AlitaSequel
@vladdie777 The tickets to see Morbius were full price, averaging about $11 a ticket. A rerelease of Alita: Battle Angel in U S theaters would probably sell 25K to 50K tickets easily, or $275,000 to $550,000 at the box office. #AlitaSequel
Morbius is returning to 1000 movie theaters this weekend, & Morbius got a C+ on Cinemascore. Alita: Battle Angel got an A- on CinemaScore. Let's see what the box office is for Morbius this weekend. #AlitaSequel
The 2022 film Morbius was shown in 83 theaters this week but a social media campaign convinced theaters to give Morbius another shot, with Morbius going to more than 1000 screens starting June 3rd. A mass tweet for next week asking for a rerelease of Alita in theaters could work
The Numbers updated Apr 10 2022 U S bluray sales & Alita wasn't there. For that week it is estimated Alita sold 500 blurays in the U S & had cumulative worldwide profits of $99.5 million. In about 2 more weeks - by Apr 24 2022 - Alita should hit $100 million of profits.
FlixPatrol reports that Alita: Battle Angel is in the iTunes Top 10 recently in Bulgaria (Europe), Ghana (Africa) & Cambodia (East Asia). It's impressive that Alita keeps returning to the top 10 after 3 years & that Alita has worldwide appeal. #AlitaSequel
Perhaps the Alita Army doesn't need to do anything to help Rosa get a sequel. Rosa Salazar & Robert Rodriguez & James Cameron have so much clout that it seems they are more than a match for Disney. Most likely an Alita sequel will be announced at the latest next Jan 2023.
The Hollywood Reporter says the trailer for Avatar 2 is expected to be shown at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, which happens April 25th to 27th. There will probably be leaks and buzz about the trailer. James Cameron may talk about an Alita sequel. #AlitaSequel https://t.co/zfOyuiF1Ht
