    I can see $100M four day, but not $100M OW. Besides tracking seems okay for it.
  2. YM!
    To be honest anywhere from $40M-$70M wouldn’t surprise me. Hoping more towards the latter after it’s looking likely to die in China.

    To be honest, was fully expecting this to go sub $5M previews considering my theaters, but I'll take it. Should do around $57M-$63M which is solid, not as big as we were predicting but solid. In hindsight, we expected too much even with trailer views and buzz, and if it weren't for that budget, Pikachu wouldn't have much to worry about. At the end, this was another Mary Poppins Returns. Now I'm going to leave cause I'm going to tell exactly how the thread will go down: PikaPika fanboys will either go in extreme denial mode or start lashing out due to the numbers The hardcore MCU fanboys will do what the hardcore DCEU fanboys did when Poppins underperformed and bombard the hell out of the thread. The thread eventually devolves into a glorified fanboy brawl

    Not yet at least 😈 Nah it’s more due to box office dominance. I’ll also calculate shares tomorrow.

    Walt Disney Pictures: Endless Entertainment, has been on top at the box office for Y3 and Y4, focused on tentpoles and family films Warner Bros Pictures: Cookie Pictures, since it also has extremely strong tentpoles but also wins its fair share of awards 20th Century Fox: Numbers/Lager Pictures with the flurry of mature films and well done action tentpoles Universal Pictures: Hourglass Pictures also wins a lot of awards with fun blockbuster and animation Sony+A23: Blankments Productions, does a wide range of everything with really great OCs Sony+Blumhouse: TriCresent Media (not the best comparison or idea but Blumhouse, despite rarely being with Paramount, is basically the equivalent of Red Cresent) Paramount: O$corp Mini Majors: Dreamworks: Alpha Pictures Lionsgate/Summit: Horizon Entertainment STX: Energized Entertainment CBS Films: Hunt Productions Indies: A23: EssGeeKay Productions

    You upgraded to Paramount, though with a way better animation handle.

    North Shore is finally up and running again, and I’ll do that and Pikachu tonight. Though the 4:00 Show was missing for Pikachu, I doubt it did much. Though the 6:45 at North Shore is almost sold out and the 6:30 at Menomonee is looking great.

    To be honest I think every thing else in May is going to underperform barring Wick 3 as it is the only true counter. • Dog’s Journey is already dead • Aladdin is looking real likely to underperform from it’s true potential even with Pikachu (ie around ~$240M-$260M) • Starting to legitimately wonder how G14 will effect KOTM
  12. YM!
    I’ll sum it as some are legitimately confused: - People who saw breakout potential (ie chances at $300M+/$1B+) weren’t kidding. - The people calling this the Endgame killer, the hardcore fanatics and @James (but he’s a WB stan anyway) were serious - Me, @Nova, @MrGlass2 and like two more people whom I can’t recall were kidding with outlandish claims to be outlandish.

    5:00 - 4/50 - 3D

    Scoob is dead. Pikachu has sold me on that. I will say this Pikachu and Mary Poppins Returns are precautionary tales about nostalgia, great test screenings and trailer views imho.
  15. YM!
    Oh yeah, Pikachu at Menomonee Falls 4:00 - 10/155 - SuperScreen
  16. YM!
    Not necessarily. I mean even though Pikachu might be in the Shazam area of too childish for adults/too adult for kids, I imagine although a Pokémon movie would be bigger, the biggest I could see now for a Red/Blue adaptation even ignoring Pikachu would be GOTG or THG Numbers DOM/WW. A lot more rules and this even after DP spoilers, and the repetitiveness of the game, the adults needed for tentpoles would’ve never understand or showed up anyways. The best they could’ve done was to get the fanbase and those nostalgic. The only real big video game movie I see in the future is Mario and that’s more due to how big Illumination is. @filmlover I actually wonder if it would’ve done better around Christmas provided Jumanji moved.
  17. YM!
    Lion King would’ve destroyed it completely. February would’ve worked the best and WB as soon as they saw Lego Ninjago performance switch it and Lego 2, since Lego 2 was doomed anyways. Or perhaps maybe, just maybe Pokémon was too niche of a property at the box office in the first place.
  18. YM!
    Also it’s not like reviews are god awful, it’s about the same as most of Disney’s live action remakes and likely the same as Aladdin. However, the budget was out of control and no one expected Endgame to be that big. In hindsight, WB should’ve moved this to November, it would’ve scared off Sonic, had no real competition until Frozen 2, and no legit all ages blockbusters, but in hindsight, WB sucks at family films, they may get one big hit down the road but otherwise they are completely unlucky and incompetent.
  19. YM!
    I mean, if we look at the comps for Spider Verse and Incredibles as well as using the majority of theaters we have so far seem tepid, granted it’s 4:00 PM but still.
  20. YM!
    Yeah, not going to lie since Endgame opened big, I have been thinking Pikachu would do around what Lego Batman and Shazam did. Even as counterprogramming, I didn’t expect Endgame to take out all of the air.
  21. YM!
    I liked it better than the VeggieTales one.
  22. YM!
    It was good, just cared for the others better.
  23. YM!
    Is that bad?
  24. YM!
  25. YM!
    It will still help though as YT views are good. We won’t get the one from the trailer until likely the Wednesday before release and that will be from the soundtrack. Again, Disney has showed us since 2017 unless they have one that seems obvious to not do well in the first place when they release 3 tentpoles in an 8 week timeframe, all aiming for big grosses, one of them ends up suffering (by which I mean not reaching their fullest potential), usually the middle one.
