Detective Pikachu is being praised as the movie that finally kills the video game movie curse.

The trailer has over 110M combined views on Youtube. Lots of people here are betting this movie will gross 1B worldwide.


Y'all are wrong.

So, who is ready to put their money where their mouth is? Who thinks Detective Pikachu is going to make 1B worldwide?
If, by the end of its box office run, Detective Pikachu has grossed less than 1B worldwide, those who bet AGAINST 1B WW get to chose the collective avatar of the other side.
If, by the end of its box office run, Detective Pikachu has grossed 1B+ worldwide, those who bet FOR 1B WW get to chose the collective avatar of the other side.
Avatars will last for one month.

So what say you, ResetEra?

$450-$600 million worldwide is where I put it and even that is a bit generous. I am definitely in the under crowd

Yeah screw you guys that movie gonna make BANK. I don't actually believe this but put me down as the biggest believer for $1B+ in my heart.

Thanks.

You may have lost your power, but I've lost my damn mind. I highly doubt it'll do 1B but I'll be a good sport and take the bet

1billy if it was amazing and a little bit more removed from Endgame

Saw it.
It was good but I still think mortal Kombat was the better game adaptation.

And it's not making a billion.

I specifically avoided posting in the Endgame avatar bet thread to put my name in the Detective Pikachu one. So sign me up on the over billion train. FOR.

(I also had it over Toy Story 4 as well, am I a mad man? Well, I am high 60's low 70's, so take that for what you will.)

This thing is tracking to open around $50-$60 million domestically. Absolutely no chance it hits 1 billion. Trailer views aren't indicative of box office success.
