>it's another "movie is a flop if it doesn't make 2b" thread
Robert Harris

fuck off jew
Michael Scott
OH NO NO NO 9GAG BROS WE NEED TO MAKE MORE PIKACHU MEMES
Parker Peterson
Its a difficult month
You have avengers endgame which had just opened as well as aladdin coming up and john wick 3 also secret life of pets will grab some of the younger viewers then lion king next month will probably dominate june along with toy story 4
Elijah Martinez
2x IS a flop though, once you factor in the theater's cut and advertising.
Jack Roberts
Yeah and if you ignore tax cuts, merchandising and all the other fucking ways blockbusters earn money.
Robert Wood
Pokemon merchandise does not sell in the west, its why it has changed companies so many times these past few years. It only works in Asia
Ryder Perez
Is that supposed to be bad? It already has a sequel planned, and I doubt a $400+ million box office is going to dissuade them from doing it.

It will hit 300M today, also it still didnt opened in a lot of markets. The biggest issue with Detective Pikachu is there is no target: is too kiddy for adults and too adult/complex for kids. Also is a noir film, so is slow compared to what you expect from pokemon, plus it dont explain a lot about pokemon world so people not familiarized with the franchise will had a bad time to follow the story.
Justin Martinez
Do you realize pokemon franchise is by far the biggest franchise of all time? games are a small amount compared to merchaindise like toys, plushies, etc.
Jace Martin
not when its been just 10 days
Xavier Carter
Remember how Yea Forums said this movie was going to finally land the death blow on Disney and make over a billion in a few days?
Luke Powell
They also said that to alita and shazaam
Sebastian Sanchez
Hello Kitty is bigger, which is another thing that just like Pokemon was a fad but not a long term business in the west.
Chase Ross
It's finally time to remove all non-Disney movies from cinema, finally as the biggest Disney fanboy ever I can enjoy life again
Noah Foster
Why do you bunch of consumer whores care about the performance of movies so much? Before the internet I never had to care if the movie was a hit or a flop.
Liam Wilson
>a fad but not a long term business in the west.
Pokemon has been popular for nearly 30 years
What makes something not a fad?
Elijah Parker
Literally every movie except endgame is flopping this year. Normies only care about marvel now
Adrian Jenkins
Tomy had a whole range of product for western markets 2018 but cancelled it last minute. Also the fact that Mcdonalds dropped Pokemon and Burger King picked up the scraps.
Ethan Fisher
Bluepilled retard
Levi Anderson
How good a movie is doesn't = box office
Hunter Foster
Every movie except endgame is flopping in comparison to endgame
The goalposts have moved
Jonathan Clark
And godzilla will flop next week
>$200 million budget
>trackinf for $50 million opening
Gonna be a YIKES from me dawg. That movie won't make any profit
Brody Barnes
>but cancelled it last minute.

Not only Pokemon takes 10billon adventage over Hello Kitty, also is 20 years newer. Pokemon is far from a fad.
Nolan Rodriguez
Maybe you would like to check the numbers lol.
Nolan Collins
Is an OK movie, it haves pacing issues, sometimes is clever and sometimes is really dumb. Is odd that the movie empathize a lot over japan influence where the videogame and even the anime have a more international approach.
Noah Cooper
Legendary is a chinese company, they don't go for the same revenue as WB would.
Isaiah Anderson
Expert run on lol
