Alita really has built up it's hardcore fan base and will definitely get 400 mil worlwide from the box office. Hopefully with this fanbase set and the streaming and blu ray sales it will get a greenlit for the sequels!

They will have to film them back to back so that part two and three will each result to a 135 mil production budget. If the sequels than at least do as well as this one, the entire trilogy will have made 1200 mil with a 435 mil budget, than it could be a very profitable trilogy!

* yes a lot of speculation but I think I have made a good point *

We will hear Alita 2's been greenlit when we hear word of the Warcraft trilogy, which also has China as its biggest box office country.

That good old Chinese fanbase. You going to travel to China, meet up with all the other Alita heads, cosplay as one of the characters for the premier of Alita 2?

Domestic could care less, Europe couldn't care less.

It hasnt made its money back yet, still in the red.

Studio only gets 25% back from Chinese box office as per a Chinese government agreement unless the film is a co-production with a Chinese company then it gets the average 40% the studios usually get back from foreign markets without using an outside distributer or other factors.

Thats why its so important to hit domestic or co-produce with China
