Super Bowl 2019: 9 Major Movie Trailers To Expect (& 3 Not To)

7. Alita: Battle Angel

It's currently unclear whether or not 20th Century Fox will have any presence, but if it does then the most likely candidate is Alita: Battle Angel.

The film, produced by James Cameron and directed by Robert Rodriguez, is a big gamble from the studio, with the cyberpunk action adaptation having an estimated budget of $150-200m.

That kind of investment needs a solid return, so while it may cost around $5m for a 30-second Super Bowl spot, it'd perhaps be worth it to increase excitement for a film that doesn't look like the easiest of sales, and drops just a couple of weeks after the game.
