Oof

This would make sense if the cape film didnt btfo of pikachu retard. Lurk more before trying to shitpost. There is nothing to "cope". We won

That's not how it works, you fucking idiot.
It needs to earn twice its budget to be considered as successful, and a bit more than that to justify the marketing.

wait what? movie theatres literally pay warner bros or whoever for the right to show the film

>Nearly 20 years since Pokemon last saw a wide theatrical release
>Several manga and TV series since
>Like 2 dozen games
>All this new Pokemon world and "lore" to draw from
>Decide to finally return with a fucking weird live action spin off property instead of a "proper" Pokemon film

I honestly don't know what the fuck they were expecting. I'm sure it'll earn a decent return over its full run but it feels like the most stupid, poorly thought out way to return an old massive franchise back to the film world

that isnt true either. twice its budget? lol. that only applies to set movies that have expectations like marvel movies and ghostbusters. the studios treated pikachu like a standard kids film because it is one. most films just have to make their budget back, the marketing is a separate company investing.

I think gritty and dark when I think of this franchise; you know, the opposite of colorful? Yeah.

You and this whole thread of people are retarded. Nintendo and gamefreak didn't make this movie. It only has their labels on it because its licensed out property.

This is an american company making a pokemon movie, that's all. this isn't "pokemons big return to the silver screen" lol

No, theaters take half generally of ticket sales. Overseas the studio gets even less. That’s why.

>Nintendo
>Licensing properties without Stalin tier control over the concept

lmao

did you watch it? it's not gritty and dark. it's a kids film and it's not very good imo

Cope faggots cope.

It'll do great at the box office, but it won't out-earn Avengers, which might dethrone Avatar

Start praying disneycucks

Is it though? I watched it and it wasnt. future films have to be a lot better.

theatres make virtually nothing from films in the first week, they pay the film company for the right to screen it and then they get to keep almost 0% of their ticket sale money for that first week. thats why opening weekends are so important

nice slide but that looks university tier (worthless)

It'll make a ton of money and move a lot of merch. The movies are just advertisement for the games. It's not like with Marvel were the comics sell jackshit and the films took their place as the main business.

If you actually watched the movie you'd realize that there's a character in it whose canonically the same one from the 1st animated movie. They explicitly state it.

Leave thanos to me.

They didn't use the original english voice actor and the character is openly gay in this new movie too. flamboyant as fuck. that's weird.

to be fair all the white males in the film were evil, or incompetent and made fun of as clowns. The quality sucked. This movie will be panned eventually but most of us want live action pokemon films to be a thing so we are afraid to say how shit it was.

mewtwo is supposedly the mewtwo that "escaped the kanto region" 20 years ago.

would have been cooler if it wasnt to be honest, like people just made another mewtwo.

Pikachu should have flossed or twerked while playing Fortnite.

she's Japanese she doesnt have one user.

Maybe she should open up her eyes to let more light in

Not only is that other guy correct but it's common knowledge. There are even cinemas that get threatened and not allowed to have access to films if they step out of line. Theatres pay for the movie and after that for the first week the movie company takes 80% of profits.

>It needs to earn twice its budget to be considered as successful
It's already past the halfway point in it's opening weekend, it will double the budget easily enough. The movie is going to end up being profitable. It's just not the capeshit slayer some retards thought it wold be.

edit: THEYRE SO BURACK WTF

Isn’t it getting a sequel?

If it weren't for the nigger lead I'd have risked violating the NSP to see it. As it is I'll watch a Chinese camrip.

...user, it got an international release first.

>people actually care about two megacorps getting more money than each other with subpar movies that appeal to the most LCD demographic you can think of

dude stop hes right and youre wrong

After seeing the film it becomes immediately apparent that these threads are made by shills. It's a straight up kids film and it's low quality. super bad acting

Wow, some sperg hates pokemon so much that he's been pushing this as a flop for the past 4-5 days straight. Don't have sex. Fucking kill yourself

He is a sperg but also this film is bad and these threads are full of company shills

never, but at least we'll be getting a pokemon cinematic universe now
finally those of us who hate capeshit can still get our manchild films

>that pre-celebratory thread

>retards helping their own
brings a tear to my eye

>shows 2 roman buildings

What the fuck were they thinking?

Pikachu is the first live-action pokemon movie, and they didn't even go all-out, just a secondary story. Engame was the bigass conclusion to 22 films or something like that, which already have a huge bugman following, and it's based on an IP that was previously already big with manchildren, while pokemon only appeals to kids and some nostalgiafags, and its heyday was some years ago.
Pikachu did well fwiw. Most successful vidya movie ever, too. Off to a good start, now they'll make more and it'll eventually get more popular.

absolutely BASED detective conan

to be fair the first harry potter movie also did well because nobody had seen shit like that on screen before.

Let's hope the next live action pokemon movies are much better.

anyone know what bulbasaur didnt even say it's name?

>we
This is what the modern man identifies himself as a part of: a videogame movies made by the film and media industry. Pathetic.

>hurr le pokemon shills
Look at how much money nintendo has, look at how much money disney has. It's so fucking ridiculous to suggest that there would be nintendo shills instead of disney shills jfc

Everyone knows they had some doubts about the whole thing, so they were cautious, a story that isn't the main canon (but within said canon), and very normie friendly with pikachu cracking jokes all the time. It went just as expected, and I'm 99% certain there will be more movies.

>DisneyMoms literally can't understand inflation
Lol

idiot lol. why not both?

I'll call out the nintendo shills when I see them. If you can't even notice obvious shills you should lurk moar.

>capeshitters suck so much corporate dick that they actually root for garbage movies to make profit

Because mewtoo is in it doesnt mean its canon to the animated movie? What makes it directly linked other than him being in both? And how is he "gay"?

Is it actually doing well or are those lukewarm numbers? I'm seeing opposing opinions on something that should be objective.

Have pikasex everyone

How do you people still not know how this shit works? You take the production budget, add the marketing budget, then multiply that by two, that's usually how much a movie needs to make to be considered a success

It's made 170 million dollars in 4 days. It's definitely gonna make more than a billion dollars overall.

he is a capeshitter retard

BASED PRETENDING TO BE RETARDED POSTER!

Are you pretending to be retarded? It'll make 500m tops

they mention he's the same one from the first anime movie. He just moves flamboyantly so he comes off as gay.

what are you kidding? hot asian girls are easy as fuck if you're white. Stop raging.

And? Look at how much Endgame made in a very short time.

The fuck? Mewtwo has always been shown to be floaty. Where the fuck did “he’s gay” come from?

if you havent watched the movie why are you commenting on this? watch it and you'll see what everyone means

He gay nigga.

Probably t make the movie more progressive

Maybe it's different in white worshipping Aneruca, but in my country NZ, I've never seen an attractive Asian girl go out with a European guy in my life, while I've seen the reverse lots.

I'm in Australia. It's literally easy as going on tinder or going clubbing or to the bar or even just going to a class at university.

I have never seen a white female with an asian guy but if it happens good for him for non-butthurt-about-whites/normal enough to do that.

BASED AVENGERS

Theres a thread on gif at the moment where people are discussing how easy it is for white guys to get the hottest asian girls and feeling sorry for asian dudes. As the other user said though it's all attitude. If you hate white men or feel butthurt girls can sense it and will find it unnattractive. they came to the west for white boyfriends afterall

Both are manchild-pandering wastes of time anyway. What's the difference?

I always feel bad about this. Do western countries ruin asian women? Don't blame white people though

>and some nostalgiafags
So also bugmen manchildren.

>white worshiping
you have a mental problem. we're just most attractive

Only rich elitist Asian girls come to NZ who think they're better than whites, who are only here because their parents moved to get away from high population density. I don't think you guys realise that not all western countries have the same racial dynamics. Only Polynesians experience severe racism by whites in NZ, which shows that most whites here are cowards who pick on the economically vunerable. However Polynesians are just as bad, because they are very racist towards Asians and especially Indians, which shows they are jealous of economic success. So all NZ groups are racist in some way, but the dynamics are different to America and Australia, which are quite similar when it comes to race issues.

I think whites are the least racist people but that we shouldn't be. The type of racism white people worry about isnt racism at all.

Chinese on the other hand and basically every other import have a large percentage of racist people. I also feel like chinese are unique in that they don't respect the countries they move to or the cultures of those countries.

What do you think?

>elitist asian girls who think they're better than whites

Is this a real thing? do they also think asian guys are better than white guys? what is the reason? just family money?

I live in Seattle, almost all of the WMAF couples I see are some doughy looking software developer and an exactly 5/10 low esteem east asian girl. AMWF couples are uncommon but almost always the dude is incredibly hot. I feel bad for east asian and especially indian guys, white women are animals desu

No, Asian guys integrate to NZ society very well. They don't have a snobby attitude like the girls do. They treat us as equals. Asian girls think they're top shit cuse their parents are rich and they excel at school. Asian tourists male or female are mongs though.

Not him bit I am seething actually. I thought the nintendo samurai was finally going to kill the disney jew

>let’s release our movie right next to the Avengers Endgame! No one is ever gonna see Avengers Endgame!

Is WB retarded? Did they legit expect people to not go see Endgame?

That is an unfair comparison, because DP hasn't yet been premiered in some countries like Russia

Yes? Have you seen any of their try-hard movies?

Tfw i got memed into watched this movie. Great marketing team my theater was packed desu

What the actual fuck? I watched the movie and there was no indication MewTwo had any kind of sexual orientation.

There were like a billion movies made in the animated Pokemon canon between The First Movie/The Power of One and Detective Pikachu. They just mostly got a theatrical release in Japan and went straight to Blu-Ray in the US.

Mewtwo is genderless retards

based

he moves flamboyantly as fuck compared to original mewtwo that's why people think he's gay. also the lisp and the fact his boyfriend is in the movie.

the theaters have to rent the film reel from the production company dummo. otherwise the theater could just whip out any old blockbuster whenever releases were slow.

Who's MewTwo's boyfriend?
