tbarrie Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 To be clear, I'm not angry that Detective Pikachu exists. Pikachu as a detective is a cute concept. It's just - I can rhyme off dozens of similar off-beat concepts for existing pop cultural entities without thinking too hard. (Conan as a Victorian-era dandy! The Smurfs as a WWII commando squad!) Most of them don't get made into movies. How did this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I went to see it last night and it's now my pick for best video game adaption to film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had this feeling(even with the 20+ years of popularity) that it was going to struggle to find an audience with adults. The trailers, the plot, and what it’s based on didn’t appeal to me whatsoever as a fan of the show when it was on. They massively made a mistake when they announced this a couple of years ago. The funny thing is they had a chance to backtrack after the success of Pokémon Go, but some fucking suit really wanted this “Detective Pikachu” shit to be a thing real bad. I hope that guy has no say in the next movie they might never make now because of his dumbass. Edited May 12, 2019 by LoneWolf&Subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 What are you talking about? $58 million is a really solid opening, particularly since Endgame is still pulling strong. The first Captain America opened to $65 million. Factoring the international in (which we don't for the competition) it's up to $170m and that's before considering stuff like the money they're making from Pokemon card box sets off this. Like I really don't get how you look at those opening weekend numbers and think it's a failure. Divorced from wherever you thought it would land in the competition, obviously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it helped at all in the end... Speaking of which, I don't know if we expressly said that June 7th was the last day to turn in a valid ballot, but with New Mutants falling off the new date would be May 31st.
