Tinalera 690 Posted April 29, 2019 I mentioned this in weekend thread...i think pika will have that "well this is different" vibe going for it. I think Pika outdoes endgame in its open weekend. Close but ill say Pika 95.3 ....endgame 89.2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cdsacken 4,685 Posted April 30, 2019 It's possible depends on reviews for Pika. No one other than BOP is predicting anything close to 80+ and it's going to need it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cdsacken 4,685 Posted April 30, 2019 If DP has a RT score of 95% RT and Cinema A+ I see 100+ OW. Typical score and I'd be shocked to see do it better than 75 OW. Mediocre reviews, 60ish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YourMother the Edgelord 21,159 Posted April 30, 2019 OUT. Pikachu isn’t showing in my honest opinion when tracking at my theater, the traction it needs for an OW over $70M+ when compared to other family/animated films. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cappoedameron 1,106 Posted May 5, 2019 Okay so now we know what kind of drop Endgame had in it's 2nd weekend. It had a -59.5% drop. So with that knowledge now we look towards Endgames 3rd weekend and Pikachu's opening weekend. Which right now it's tracking range is literally ridiiculous. Anywhere from 55M all the way to 80M. And both Infinity War and Avengers had horrific movies opening against them and they kept -45%. Now Pikachu unlike those other films is competition. So this could truly end up being a battle.

TMP 7,382 Posted May 5, 2019 Still out! $50-55m train baby! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YourMother the Edgelord 21,159 Posted May 5, 2019 OUT. Avengers: Age Of Ultron fell 50% on its third weekend against Pitch Perfect and Mad Max (both of the openers combine to $115M) and while Pikachu is more family skewing and can make a case for direct competition I can’t see Endgame falling lower than that and at my theaters at least seems to be heading towards a $50M-$60M OW for Pikachu.

My theater is almost sold out for friday and saturday shows so...what do I make of that? I say it's heading for a 70-80M OW. BTW I was more referring to Avengers which had Battleship and Infinity War which had Life of the Party and Breaking In. Both movies were at -45%. Pikachu unlike those other films is competition.

SLAM! 5,502 Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) On the bright side, if Detective Pikachu doesn't beat Avengers, it can still earn enough to be one of highest grossing films that never hit #1 domestic! That's a honor it can share with films like My Big Fat Greek Wedding, A Star is Born (2018), and Interstellar!

Pikachu unlike those other films is competition. I get that as well as the fact all theaters are different, but what about Thursday. I know and AoU with weaker WOM than Endgame, facing Pitch Perfect 2 and Mad Max ($69M and $45M OWs), I don’t see Endgame falling worse than that especially when I think the combined OW total for Pikachu+Poms+Hustle will be lower.
