its not a horror film but its pulling the horror aud as they expected the same dynamic as the first one but theyre getting weird science

Exit polls are always bad if you sell the audience on one genre and give them something else. Its not a rehash of the first one. if it was, it would be doing better

Still, its gonna make a decent profit. 

DL Thurs: ALITA 8.7 (incl 2.4 previews) | ISROM 4.4 | HDTH2 2.7 warcraft86 Feb 15, 08:55

What went wrong with HDTH2? Too much competition, a sequel nobody asked for, lackluster marketing, or all of the above? {nm} RollingThunder Feb 15, 09:00

It's a rehash of the first film literally. {nm} Antibody Feb 15, 09:02

So was The Hangover Part II and that didn't stop the movie from being a hit too. FabioParme Feb 15, 09:08

Well, the marketing/trailers show they are literally reliving the same day from the first film. {nm} Antibody Feb 15, 09:20

that true, but its not the slasher film the first one was. Hence the bad exit polling and bad WOM {nm} Moviesnob Feb 15, 09:23

Doug is missing for the entire movie, exotic animal thrown in the mix, Ed Helms rewrites a song with plot specific lyrics, Ed Helms has bennyg1985 Feb 15, 09:21

It happens a year later in a differnt country, not literally. {nm} Antibody Feb 15, 09:24

So, if part two happened, let's say, in NY, you would then say it's the same movie? FabioParme Feb 15, 09:26

No, literally is used to mean same time and same location. {nm} Antibody Feb 15, 09:27

But you have to agree that Hangover I and II are exactly the same movie. That is my point. FabioParme Feb 15, 09:29

My Point is I qualified my statement with "literally" which you keep ignoring. {nm} Antibody Feb 15, 09:31

Well, HDD2 is also not literally a rehash of the first film, so you are also using it incorrectly. {nm} austpow Feb 15, 10:11

The sequel went back to the same time and place as the first film, I think that qualifies as a literal rehash. {nm} Antibody Feb 15, 11:35

You havent it seen it yet. HDD2 is "literally" a different time and a different space (think quantum physics) {nm} Moviesnob Feb 15, 11:43

C'mon! They only changed location. The rest of the movie is exactly the same. FabioParme Feb 15, 09:24

I agree Part II a reahsh of the first Hangover, but it's not a "literal" rehash. :) {nm} Antibody Feb 15, 09:30

I'll give you that. End of discussion :) {nm} FabioParme Feb 15, 09:34

The marketing/trailers show Thailand so moviegoers were EXPECTING a differnt movie. {nm} Antibody Feb 15, 09:33

This is a lot of text spent for a movie that everyone about this line is trashing {nm} Wilderness_Journey Feb 15, 10:08

are you new here? {nm} professor zovek Feb 15, 10:54

Lol. You wish. {nm} Wilderness_Journey Feb 15, 11:08

Part of Alita was $20 from me, because I bought tickets for the wrong day :/ {nm} Kevman66 Feb 15, 11:07

Hdd2 sucked, just saw it bigfathead Feb 15, 13:47
