Detective Pikachu will not gross more than 1B worldwide. Who will make an avatar bet about that?

[Deleted member 17658]

this is a bad bad bet...

 

[DecoReturns]

I don't know.

How popular is Pokémon in China?

Like it needs 1 billion anyways. It just needs to be successful enough for Pokémon to continue to get these types of film. They obviously want to build off these live action films.

 

[I Am Captain America]

There were many people in the box office threads for the last few months swearing it would do $1b. We need them in on this action!

Let's have some fun with this!

Besides, I know my avatar will be locked to something for six months anyways, so this is a win win for me!

FOR

Tho, the news about it leaking the whole movie is really worrying

 

[Redfox088]

The FIRST Hollywood rendition of the most profitable IP ever? That honestly can go either fucking way.



Endgame fatigue tho so I'll say Under.

 

[Dwebble]

It VERY obviously won't.

 

[SweetNicole]

Please put FOR or AGAINST in all capitals in your post when placing your bet.

I'm having a hard time telling who is betting or not.

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

FOR 1 BILLION

 

[Icemonk191]

I'm feeling confident/foolish so put me down on team OVER a billion! FOR!

 

[Deleted member 249]

SweetNicole I was going to suggest that you should add a "will it outgross Shazam" sub-condition, but then I saw Shazam's gross, and welp, DP would have to outright fail to not match that.

 

[Deleted member 4976]

AGAINST

Unless it blows up in China, I'm not seeing it come close to 1b.

 

[Deleted member 17388]

FOR

I'm betting for that Electric Mouse :')

If you got accidentally added, let me know and I can remove you. There were some that were vague.

AGAINST

Looking forwards to it but I don't think it will do that well.

 

[Calabi]

FOR

How can anyone look into that little guys face and say it wont do a billion.

I got run over #103

 

[Deleted member 32561]

By the end of it's run?
Absolutely 1 Billion.

FOR

I'm betting on it. There's no way it won't.

 

[HardRojo]

FOR.

But that's blind fate, I believe the movie released in a tight spot. I want it to make it to a billion anyway. Let's Go!

Edit: Wait, I mean I'm against it not reaching 1B, so I think it'll reach 1B.
Edit 2: Don't mind me, I'm stupid and can't read OPs to completion.

 

[Santerestil]

FOR

Why not? That clusterfuck of Suicide Squad made almost 1B, and Pikachu is more famous than Harley Quinn.

 

[Vommy]

Count me in the 1+ B-Club

 

[Gassy_N0va]

FOR

As long as the movie is fun and does well bringing a Pokemon-filled world to life, this is a no brainer. Don't doubt the pull that Ryan Reynold's comedy will bring as well.

 

[Orange Piccolo]

Honestly, I can't call it. I could see it doing 1 billion if it wasn't for Endgame cutting into it's legs.

Yeah, I don't know.

 

[srtrestre]

Watching thread. Should be fun.

 

[VonGreckler]

FOR.

I think it has a chance.
It's only the most profitable IP in the history of the world.

BUT. This is the first time its doing the hollywood movie thing so we'll see.

 

[Noctilum]

400 million world-wide tops

 

[Beefsquid]

AGAINST

I want it to do 1B+, and Pokemon is the most lucrative franchise, but I think Endgame will still drag it down.

 

[aisback]

AGAINST

under 1 Billion

 

[Galactic Specter]

FOR

It would a good change of pace to see a videogame adaption blow up at the box-office.

 

[Plutone]

AGAINST

I'm voting entirely out of spite because my Sonic movie is going to be awful and I'm not a good human being.

I am biased and probably wrong, but screw it! I believe in you Pikachu!

[Scarlet Spider]

AGAINST! Parker luck will fuck me over if I vote for.

 

[eonden]

It will make more than 1Billion Sek week 1.

 

[Kohlbiri]

Not betting, but I sure hope it will. Go Pikachu!!

 

[The Adder]

I don't think it'll make it.

But I think it has a shot. And I choose hope.

FOR

 

[guill]

I'll say AGAINST

 

[Deleted member 4614]

It won't gross. Had a shot if the reviews were better.

 

[Theorymon]

AGAINST

I'd love for Detective Pikachu to break a billion, but that seems like a tall order for the first live action adaption.

 

[blame space]

Avatar bets are lame. ban bets or bust.

 

[Barrel Cannon]

The marketing material and word of mouth has been good so I think it is gonna destroy May up. Like have ya'll even seen how dope those plush toys look

Easy Peasy 1 billion dollars for Emperor Pikachu

#LetsGoDetectivePikachu

Yea, this ain't gonna cross a billion, as much as I want it to. #against

 

[BDS]

A $50-70 million opening in this crowded release period makes it essentially impossible for it to come anywhere near a billion.

 

[Gartooth]

AGAINST

Social media buzz doesn't always equal how popular something turns out. This movie will be standing right in front of Endgame's historic run and I haven't seen much hype for it yet outside of diehard fans.

 

[Trafalgar Law]

what's it tracking for in it's first week ?

 

[Keikaku]

AGAINST

It won't get even close to $500m

 

[Aleh]

For.

 

[King Alamat]

Ain't gonna happen.

 

[feyder]

what's it tracking for in it's first week ?

Numbers I've seen have ranged from $50-75 million in its first weekend.

FOR

i never lose so this will be good.

 

[Alucrid]

didn't that other movie with cgi furry things break 1 billion?
