  1. Honestly I'd love to know the strategy for Ugly Dolls. They saw the trailer for Detective Pikachu and got the heck out of the May 10th slot and now they're hoping to get some scraps from negatives about Endgame in regards to children. 3 hr epic which may not be attractive for parents with young kids, PG-13, and yet they're still gonna get destroyed. Admirable, really.

    While noting that all films are different and that that I2 had the built in advantage of being a sequel, this does look pretty good for Pika Pika.  Seems to be broadly in line with BOP's 90m forecast. 


    So great work there. 👍

    Doesn't long range forecasting showcase the bottom floor? So wouldn't that suggest Pikachu has a really good chance of opening higher? Like over 100M-150M Range?

    I'm talking about OW, but okay.

    Ah in that case BOP has it at 90M. We should get more updated tracking sometime this week I imagine. I feel like Pika is gonna be above 100M but that's just my wish. 

     

    I feel like with Reynolds marketing and reviews it may get that 100M + OW.

     

    Thanks for the info.

    -Still solid for Pikachu. The Dragon 3 comps are coming down to Earth more and more, but everything points to a solid gross, although 100M does seem a bit up in the air at the moment. Of course, we've still got a long way to go.

    Dragon 3? I don't see that being Pikachu's domestic gross total. BOP has it at least $250,000,000 - $300,000,000 domestic total run. I guess we shall see, shouldn't more tracking come in this week?

  5. I mean I've loved Pokemon since I was 6 and I'm 27 and all my friends are going to the movies with me. We're gonna steal all the kids new movie Pokemon cards. 😛

     

    That's a joke but yeah I feel DP is gonna pick up probably by beginning of May. I'm certainly not in a rush to buy tickets cause I'm waiting till Endgame and after Endgame's probably depressing ending, people will probably look forward to DP to make them happy again lol.

    I'm not saying it can't open to 100M+, I just don't think it's likely.. the hype kinda slowed down after that first trailer in November

     

    when was the last time a live action non-franchise-non-remake movie opened to $100M+? I can only think of The Hunger Games and IT 2017 (and even that was a remake of a tv mini-series).

     

    so :thinking:

     

    "Hype kinda slowed down"? Trailer trended at #1 for almost 2 days and was only shot down to #2 by reveal of Pokemon Sword and Shield. 

     

    This trailer that wasn't even released by the WB company but instead Ryan, is #3 on YT.

     

    Literally BOP is long range tracking it for a 90M OW. So...that's likely gonna increase as we continue to get closer. Pika's LR tracking is at least $15M more then Aquaman, and we all know how that did on it's OW. By comparison at least. 

     

    And don't underestimate the marketing machine known as Ryan Reynolds. We all know what Deadpool 1 and 2 was estimated to make and what it ended up making in it's OW.

    There hasn't been an official announcement from WB that tickets are on sale?


    Weird.

    Marvel always releases a final trailer with the announcement that tickets are on sale. For this only Ryan did. WB Youtube Official channel did not post it.

     

    It's why I'm comparing this to the video of Ryan getting into the role of Pikachu, which he posted alone.

     

     

  8. Spoiler

     

    Far from an expert, but yes I think this will be pretty walk-up based.  The trailer views says there's interest out there.  The very very VERY early initial pre-sales suggest there isn't any sort of rush yet to buy tickets.

     

    Might pick up a bit closer to release. We ARE 30 days out, after all.  From what I recall, vaguely, Finding Dory really didn't start selling until about two weeks out.  And that it did was a major indicator that it was going to be a beast of a family film.

     

    No idea about Incredibles 2.

     

    Let's not forget though that this footage was dropped by Ryan Reynolds not the company. If it was Ryan and the company both would have posted it and it would be on the official WB channel as well. Like the first and second trailer were. This is more like that video of Ryan getting into the role of DP.

     

    Maybe WB has a final trailer in mind for Pika that will drop soon.

     

    If they were gonna announce tickets on sale I'd expect the company would drop the trailer, just like Marvel does with their movies.

    Even if it was just AMC, the sales being this slow and minor don't suggest the big break-out a few people were suggesting. Not saying DetPik will do bad or anything but it won't be this Endgame-killer or 200+ OW domestic movie.

    Well it will be the Endgame killer cause it will dethrone Endgame. Long range tracking predicts 90M OW, that's only gonna go up as marketing increases and we all know how Ryan is at marketing.

    Also it's gonna be annoying when tracking next week for Detective Pikachu shows a $60-70M opening (which would still be a great number for it) and a lot of people start calling it "Detective Flopachu," most likely without irony. 

    Aqua Man tracked for a 59 M OW and that clearly was not a flop. Hype has only increased for this movie, I'm expecting 100M + OW. 

     

    And we all know Ryan Reynolds marketing for this movie is gonna kickstart soon and we all know he is a marketing machine.
