Detective Pikachu > Frozen club
Detective Pikachu will gross more than Reynolds' Deadpool 2, $318,491,426.
Making the club higher than the first one is even more ballsy but since some of you think this will open with 20 million I'll do this.

Re: Detective Pikachu > Deadpool 2 club
This works. I want a $132M opening to make it the highest game adaptation in only 3.5 days.

Re: Detective Pikachu > Deadpool 2 club
In, easily.
The 1999 animated film made $91m 5-day adjusted. This will easily beat that in its three day opening. From there it only needs ok legs to make it to $318m.

Re: Detective Pikachu > Deadpool 2 club
I was thinking about making a $350+ million club for this but joining this is a lot less work. In!

And 154 total adjusted. And it comes out a week after Avengers 4, and before Aladdin. I see it falling more in the Power Rangers/ Goosebumps realm, so I'm out.

Was gonna change this to Deadpool 1 but let's make this more interesting and say it'll do better than Frozen's 400m.

Re: Detective Pikachu > Frozen club
I'm in to the > Deadpool club, not Frozen.
Pokemon has a huge rabid fanbase and is super iconic but it also has a 'nerdiness' element that may turn some people off. Not everyone is into Pokemon, and while they're smartly marketing the story first, Pokemon monsters second, I don't think it will be quite enough to get it to that level. Transformers 2007, which is probably the closest comparison, had a more relatable entry point (a kid getting his first car vs. looking for your missing father) and that's what helped it appeal to everyone. This isn't a film about discovering the Pokemon and the marketing isn't really introducing us into the world that much, it's all there already.

This does more for me than its trailers, it wasn't long ago when Reynolds couldn't strike box office success, but he's gotten some new credibility with Deadpool that seems to carry over on this now too.

Yawn. That was lame. Trying the same in-on-the-joke approach as Deadpool feels lazy.

This is clearly his schtick

I'm OUT for now, but I could probably see thing happening if Aladdin straight up bombs and if this has better than expected legs. The opening is going to be HUGE though.
