Only a small fraction has come from home video sales and box office (with little of the latter coming from outside of Japan). The thing about that “Pokémon is the highest-earning IP of all time!!” factoid is that the vast majority of Pokémon’s total earnings have been from merchandise sales, video games, and the TCG. The fact that it’s based on a DS spinoff game that even a good many Pokémon fans haven’t played didn’t help. But aside from Ryan Reynolds being in it, it’s not terribly accessible to people who are completely unfamiliar with Pokémon.

It’s already the second-highest-grossing video game movie domestically (just behind the Angelina Jolie Tomb Raider movie), as well as the highest-grossing Pokemon movie by quite a large margin. Yes, Reddit hates the first Avatar movie, but: 1) Avatar 2 will be hyped to shit and again, a lot of people will be curious to see where this franchise is headed and 2) never, ever bet against James Cameron.ĭetective Pikachu is performing probably about where it should, honestly. Similarly, there is no way that at least the first Avatar sequel doesn’t make a ton of money. Keep in mind that everyone hated Attack of the Clones even more than TLJ, and that didn’t stop Revenge of the Sith from outperforming it by $200 million. Will it set records/outperform TFA? Ehh, maybe not, but there are just too many people out there who are either still invested in Star Wars or otherwise just too curious about how this current trilogy will wrap up for it to flop (also, Disney+ launches just a month before TRoS’s release with a Star Wars spin-off series, which could possibly give the movie even more of a boost). There is no way that The Rise of Skywalker doesn’t make a ton of money. I can already predict a couple more upcoming films that Reddit will probably get wrong: My prediction is that the movie will be superpolarizing for DC fans and general audience like BvS and get a bad RT score and bad BO too.

Everyone is already comparing it to Taxi Driver or American Psycho and saying how Joaquin Phoenix will be nominated for an Oscar. Godzilla looks great though so it will probably be WB's biggest hit this year and be a monster in overseas BO" Aladdin ends up being the most successful movie while oversea markets except for China ignore GodzillaĬan we agree now Reddit can be a bit of an echochamber? My prediction is that the next big blunder will be the Joker movie. $1B WW is the floor." reviews come out and they're not that great, DP will be lucky if it makes more than $450M WW

"Detective Pikachu's trailers are awesome, Ryan Reynolds is a treasure and Pokemon is the greatest franchise of all time. The floor is $800M WW and it will easily make more than Captain Marvel" Then Shazam underperforms, not a flop but not a breakthrough either "Shazam's reviews just came out and they're awesome.

Couple that with the Brie Larson controversies and Marvel has a sure flop on their hands." makes a billion dollars instead R/movies and r/boxoffice's greatest hits this year so far:
