Re: Detective Pikachu predictions
It looks good. I hope it makes more than Toy Story 4.

Re: Detective Pikachu predictions
I think the way they figured out how to make Pikachu talk is perfect.
$1 billion+ worldwide guaranteed. $250m domestic minimum. $300m+ in Japan possible. China is a total wildcard. This will cut deeply into Avengers.

Pokemon is one of the biggest brands in the world and this film has 20+ years of pent up demand to see a live action version. Toy Story 3 only made $1b WW. It's really not that impossible.

Re: Detective Pikachu predictions
I can see this fail. Playing Pokemon Go is not the same as wanting to see a film with Pokemon in it. It might do well in Japan (though not sure because they reject anything US-made) but in the US I can see a total of just $80m. I can also see a total of $120m. But it's not going to be a monster hit, and even suggesting it might beat Toy Story 4 is funny.

Re: Detective Pikachu predictions
Well this movie is winning against Toy Story 4 in the teaser poster department.

Re: Detective Pikachu predictions
This looks to be a huge hit. $200m+ is highly likely.
I believe Avengers 4 will move up a week to the last week of April anyway (just like they did with IW) - so that will help give this film some space.

Re: Detective Pikachu predictions
Wow that looks awesome. I was expecting some nonsense with this project but it is basically the live-action Pokemon movie we have always wanted. $100M opening should be achievable possibly much more. This brand is massive all around the world.

Re: Detective Pikachu predictions
Avengers 4 moving up should definitely help this movie. May 2019 is already looking a lot more promising than this year with this, Aladdin, John Wick: Chapter 3 and Godzilla 2.

Re: Detective Pikachu predictions
Its the most stacked May in years. Huge potential.

Re: Detective Pikachu predictions
Avengers should move...for its own sake. It's looking at a 70%+ drop if it doesn't.
I could honestly see something insane like $150m/$400m+ for this if everything else goes right. The potential is massive. A Transformers 2007 run would not surprise me, and Pokemon is way bigger than Transformers as a brand (especially pre-Michael Bay movies).
Also there's a rumour the black guy is actually Brock and the white girl we see for 2 secs in the trailer is Misty....

Re: Detective Pikachu predictions
Man, you're going to be disappointed when this fails to hit $150m total.

Maybe because one gave you footage to a movie, and the other was a simple straight teaser produced just for theaters. Moron. I don't think this can open higher than 35 million. It looks better than it has any right to be but it's not Rated R but its not kiddy either. It does have the disadvantage of being too adult for kids and not crazy enough for adults. 28/65 total. Probably will be a decent size hit though so all in all another win for Reynolds. Bring on the Clue and Highlander Reboots.

Re: Detective Pikachu predictions
The 1999 animated film adjusts to 55m/155m. Different times yes but looks like that will be the floor for this.
