Detective Pikachu becomes the 2nd highest grossing video game movie of all time
- Thread starter Wise
- Start date
It is exactly the movie you'd expect based on the trailers: a perfectly-average children's flick with some creepy-ass CGI.
I think a few of the action sequences could be described as "cool".
No cool Pokemon fight scenes? I don't feel like I'm missing out lol
We get a share of the profits. But only if it became the top grossing videogame movie, which it has now done.
i got 30 gold coins (0.3 dollars) deposited into my account a minute ago.
Sadly not. It is made for the typical kids scene. As someone who was 13 when R/B came out I was hoping for a bit more "obscure nostalgia bombs" thrown in and while they are "there" it wasnt quite enough to sell me. Kids will definitely love it though.
It didn't bomb, but it wasn't a mega-hit either. Still looks like the best way to find success with a videogame movie is to not base it on a specific game (Wreck-It-Ralph series, the Jumanji reboot).
My second favorite of the Summer movies after John Wick 3. Glad it's doing well.
I still want to pet them all.

Actual Box Office
I was waiting for someone to post this.
Look at their math
And they are using Box Office Mojo as their source.
Box Office Mojo has the total at $429,395,333.
So this is fake news from Yahoo, because they couldn't add or read their own source.

Probably because highest grossing video game movie is not a high bar at all
Or maybe since it did good in theaters theres a good chance fans will get a sequel. Not everything has to related to fanboy nonsense.
My ass it is, the people before my showing took all the movie packs. I want several refunds and a box of those packs as compensation.
I kinda agree with you.
Guessed the "twist" at the very beginning.
Wikipedia tells me it did about 20 million in Japan compared to 130 million in the States. Couldn't tell you how good that is, I don't usually follow box office threads.
Because it just being the top grossing doesn't mean automatically make it a big success. When you factor in marketing budget, plus the amount of movie the film companies get back at the end of the day (for example studios make less of a cut in China compared to other countries).
