The #GoWatchAlita Billboard And YouTube Ad Campaign Launches

UPDATE (1/1/2020): The campaign has wrapped up. Please visit this page for details: https://alitaarmy.org/2020/11/01/rereleasealita-gowatchalita-campaigns-wrap-up/

We have fully launched our campaign to promote the re-release of Alita: Battle Angel at Cinemark and AMC Theaters (and possibly others). We will be paying for a billboard in Orlando, Florida. And, if we have enough funding, we will also be paying for an ad on YouTube. The fundraiser is being managed by @Foxfire40900590. Below are some of his words from the fundraiser page:

“Most of you know that cinemas are in deep trouble right now. But the re-releases of recent popular movies might be the thing that could change the tide. And Alita: Battle Angel is one of the big blockbusters of 2019 which will be on the forefront. If this works out other recent blockbusters might follow and give cinema chains the necessary breathing room they need until the new ones finally arrive. So literally we might help to save jobs. And we on the other side get to enjoy our beloved Battle Angel once more on the big screen.”

We will need $1587 for the billboard. The YouTube ad will be funded using money that is raised after the billboard is paid for. Read more and donate at the fundraiser page: https://gogetfunding.com/rereleasealita-advertising-campaign/

We also have a trending event scheduled for October 22 at 7:00 am EST. We will tweet #GoWatchAlita to get the word out about the re-release. The page for that event is here: https://alitaarmy.org/2020/10/06/alita-is-back-in-cinemas-help-us-get-the-word-out-by-trending/

UPDATE (10-16-20): The Billboard & YouTube Ad Fundraiser For The Alita Re-release Has Ended Successfully. With a total of $3,864, the campaign has been funded and is moving into the next phase. With $1587 going toward the billboard, the remaining funds will be split with 50% going to advertising the re-release on YouTube and the rest going to Feeding America.

Rodriguez is on board with the re-release and so is Jon Landau, the co-producer of Alita: Battle Angel.

It’s great to know that Rodriguez and Jon Landau are pleased with Alita being re-released.

Cinemark has asked for our help in promotion by requesting 1,000 retweets on their tweet. That’s a given, actually. We should be spreading the word as far as possible. So if you haven’t yet, please like and retweet the Cinemark tweet linked below:

CINEWORLD Has Not Yet Decided To Close Its Doors – Let’s Encourage Them To Stay Open

#AlitaArmy – it’s worth a try to email Cineworld (customer.services@cineworld.co.uk) and ask them to remain open to re-release Alita: Battle Angel. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take! Do it for Alita!

Also, let Cineworld know in this thread that you want them to stay open!

The Hollywood Reporter’s report:

“Here’s Your Shot, #AlitaArmy,” Says The Managing Director of Cinemablend

The tweet was in reference to the post by Regal Movies announcing the date that Alita: Battle Angel will be re-released in theaters.

But we shouldn’t stop with Regal Movies (and the announcement by Cinemark), we should also press the biggest movie theater chain in North America, AMC Theaters. Strike while the iron is hot. And like Sean O’Connell said, “the right people are watching.” We need to send a message to AMC Theaters as well!

Get in there!
