About this with reference to the forecasts of experts writes the edition of The Wrap. Preliminary forecasts promise a picture of only 25 million dollars in the first five days of rental in North America. And this is with the production budget, which is estimated at $ 150-200 million. And the final home fees may be only $ 45-50 million. The only help for the project can be the absence of competitors comparable in scale at the box office. Note that "Alita: Battle Angel" is the most expensive movie in the career of director Robert Rodriguez. Manga adaptations always have problems at the American box office. Previously, a similar situation occurred in the case of the movie "Ghost in the Shell", which was unable to raise more than $ 40 million in North America with a budget of $ 110 million. In USA, "Alita: Battle Angel" will be released for hire on February 14, 2019. The project was rated just 49 percent on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of this post.
