Big movies tend to open bigger and it looks like that’s going to be the case for Detective Pikachu.
Early tracking for the live-action Pokemon movie has it running at an opening weekend of between $75-$90 million with a total domestic run of somewhere around $250 million.
These days there’s really no such thing as a bad time for a big tentpole movie to release, but the “summer movie season” which these days starts around late April or early May, is still a period that gets a bit more love from studios.
