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

For people, the avatar is waiting for you. If you think there's STILL a chance that the movie breaks 1 Billion WW at the Box Office, you'll need to show the math at how you're arriving at that conclusion. It had a 58M opening weekend.

This is the WW total for the opening weekend, and every weekend the amount a movie makes goes down a large amount.

Otherwise, say hello to your new avatar until Wednesday, June 12th. Please reply in this thread when you have put the avatar on so we can see the glorious avatar for ourselves.

Math as in clearly lay out a realistic path given the movie's numbers so far that would lead it to $1B.

it stays in theaters a long time? this week sees a huge uptick? china is a bit of a wild card no idea how long it'll stay in theaters there. it did really well in japan. Aladin bombs? I just got a chance to see Endgame on saturday and I'm hoping to see Detective Pikachu this week at some point so that's a guaranteed $10 right there, just need like 80 million more people to do what i'm going to do which is like what less than 2% of the population.

Like i know I'll most likely need to equip the avatar, i knew this back when i made the bet, idk why ppl are jumping down my throat when i'm just following the rules made in the OP.

Lord of Pwn is well within his rights to wait until the movie leaves theaters to change his avatar.

the bet was for after it leaves theaters so you don't have to change it now just FYI.

PhoncipleBone · May 14, 2019

The funny thing about the people waiting is when they finally do change their avatars, they will just stand out more because everyone else will have changed back.

LukeOP · May 14, 2019

Happy? I'll even keep it till the 14th of June to make up for the lost 2 days.

KillstealWolf · May 14, 2019

Imagine making all this fuss about not taking a cool digimon avatar, you could have been getting one of the deliberately distrubing digimon.

(That last one is real by the way, Betsumon is creeeeeepy.)

You still got a better deal than the people who got snapped and got nothing to show, while the guys who weren't banned for weeks actually get a cool title. I'm still bitter about that.

It's fine actually

LOL.

Maybe save those for the people not willing to admit their loss now. Saddle them with something worse.

They will get around to it eventually.

At least all the avenger posters get to keep their tags, because the mods forgot.

The ability for it to hit 1 billion is 100% dead. The avatar bet is thus May 12 - June 12 given it failed to even come close to what it needed to open at worldwide to do a billion.

Srry I will only do it when its out of theater. Also what is the choosen avatar ?

subpar spatula · May 14, 2019

Avatar bets are so simple and meaningless. This is my first one and I thought there'd be some humility or whatever involved. This shit is simple as fuck. Not even gonna bother with avatar bets in the future. Perm bets or nothing for now on.

Currently it's this:

It may get worse for those that wait longer and are stubborn though. I dunno. It's that, or you are going to stand out even more after June 12th when those that have already accepted we lost have done our penance with these Badass Greymon avatars.

I just noticed the un-cropped out white by the teeth. That's a nice extra touch.

PhoncipleBone · May 14, 2019

Maybe we can hope Pikachu has box office legs like My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
If we go just off the first weekend it was in 1000 theaters, and use the same multiplier for Pikachu, it could hit over $1b domestic!https://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=weekend&id=mybigfatgreekwedding.htm

Surely Pikachu will be able to replicate that!

That was not intentional.

Santerestil · May 14, 2019

Well, I changed my avatar 'cause SweetNicole said it

BUT

if the movie actually reach 1 Billion $ at the end of BO run, everyone that bet against must take a shitty digimon avatar, no exceptions.

And we will never stop remembering y'all about it.

No, that wasn't the original terms. The bet is still active until it's out of the BO. They're covered until then.

We, like Ash, got a dream we just can't give up.

what happens if we change our avatar after like a day? do we get banned? what?

Why did people change their avatar so soon? I guess some kind of miracle couls still happen? it hasn't even been out a week...

Because people in here are being really sore winners and I don't really need to put up with that bullshit. Sucks the fun out of everything TBH.

I have to have this avatar for 3 months and you don't see me complaining!

Because they're not in denial and are aware enough of box office trends to know it's not gonna happen.

I still believe it has a small chance depending on how week two goes. I mainly did it for the fun of it and I need to find a new avatar because I have no means of updating my old one.

Edit: and sore winners. I don't want to get ban saying something dumb.

This thing ain't getting to a billion so it was decided to get the avatar bet over and done with instead of dragging it out.

I gave $6.47 to this petty cause.

What if they put out a cool new promo card for going to see it this weekend? I'd go see it again.

The movie made $160M in its opening weekend, and it opened in every major market in its first weekend.

It's not going to make over 5x its OW gross during the rest of its run, unless it makes a phenomenal, historic run.

There's like a 0.5% chance that it hits $1b.

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

Is this a test?
