I didn't realize it was opening in a dozen markets this weekend, with UK/IE yesterday. I will post box office Sunday.
Metascore is only 53 from 19: https://www.metacritic.com/movie/alita-battle-angel/critic-reviews
Imdb has almost 3K votes for 7.6 rating (will go down). I looked at the most recent of 70+ reviews, ignoring the short (fake) ones. The longer real reviews were all positive and 7-10 rating.
