Interest from 25+ yr olds, but not enough go get them into the cinema.
Interest from kids, but perhaps too dark a tone and a non-conventional Pokemon story to be meme'd to hell and back.

Millennials are poor and they only have enough money to watch maybe one or two movies a year because they waste all their money on streaming services.

because it's a kids movie

Nigger lead.
I mean who thought that was a good idea, the actor is not even famous

No Danny Devito.

disney used russian tactics to besmirch the movie

Detective pichachu game was a flop and it was a bit dark for kids. They could have gone with a generic pokemon story with ash which sells. Also pokemon isn't as strong as it was years ago.

You know and I know and they know and we know and the whole world knows why it flopped.

The question is: How can fucking multi-billion dollar corporations be so blinded by ideology that they are willing to leave so much money on the table for virtue points?

nobody can afford regular trips to the theater, we already went to endgame and godzilla and we're currently saving up for IT. my rich friends are going to brightburn. only parents who want to act like they're doing something with their kids are bothering with this

Generic ugly mutt. Seriously, what were they thinking? Couldn't have picked someone decent looking at least?

they think they're investing. build up the points now so that when the ideology "wins", they get featured in "ahead of their time" clickbait and future views skyrocket

>Highest grossing media franchise.
>pick obscure 3DS game no one gives a shit about
>replace MC with a goblino

Still dont understand why they didn't do A pokemon movie with Ash and the original crew.

Also it released near endgame where a majority was interested in that.

Ugly lead. The kid in the game looks like Tom Holland, so why is he played in the live action by a mutant Jayden Smith? I’m not paying for garbage like that.

Someone calculated a $450 million loss because of the lead's race. Makes you think.

because ash is a shitty as fuck trainer and even everyone who grew up with him hates him

What ideology?

It’s true and it’s extremely relevant to films you shit eater. If they’re going to keep erasing whiteness they’re going to have backlash.

This.

>hurrdurr why does Hollywood pander to China
>*Hollywood doesn't pander to China*
>Huehuehue they lost $450M for not pandering to China what cucks

Gb2/pol/, faggots.

Lol triggered? Gb2/pol/

Because they made a bunch of creepy muppets instead of pokemon.

Rent free, nig. Lmao

Because it was a shitty movie with bad animation.

I know. Maybe I'll get you to pay me rent and bull bucks. ;-)

>quintessentially british

I thought McShane was based?

No its not

le rent free meme xD

>erasing whiteness
Oh I get it now, you're just a right wing sjw

Why? Because he said cunt 40 times in a tv show 10 years ago?

He is based. Follow his advice. Stop going to /pol/ because you look like an insane child.

all the actors really, how is ryan reynolds still getting work

no such thing

He is
That quote is taken way out of context
He was basically saying how in today’s society white people get overly criticised and are made to shut up

>must defend muh wypipo

That's social justice whining.

Not even China gave a fuck about this lmao.

Damn. China sure loves white people, huh.
