That trend is about to change.
The box office will see an infusion of anime and manga inspired properties adapted for the American cinema for the first time. The titles include Ghost In The Shell, Full Metal Alchemist and of course Alita: Battle Angel.

James Cameron may not be solely in the Avatar business after all. The director told an audience at the TagDF conference that he will work on his long-gestating Battle Angel adaptation after he's done with the third Avatar movie, which may be sometime in 2017.
James Cameron confirms he will begin developing Battle Angel in 2017, after completing Avatar 3
joblo.com –
James Cameron had previously said the he only envisioned working on AVATAR for the foreseeable future. With the confirmation that AVATAR 2 and AVATAR 3 would be coming, we all but assumed that Cameron's long in development BATTLE ANGEL would fall by the wayside. That does not appear to be the case and we actually have a date to look forward to.

That pronouncement by James Cameron saying he's in the Avatar business and nothing else appears to be bunk.
“I'm in the Avatar business. Period. That's it. I'm making Avatar 2, Avatar 3, maybe Avatar 4 … And anything I can't say in that area, I want to say through documentaries,” Cameron told the NY Times back in May.
