Pokémon Detective Pikachu Shocks The Competition In Its Opening Weekend

Warner Bros. and Legendary’s live-action film, Detective Pikachu, has defied the video game movie curse at the North American box office in its opening weekend, collecting a total of $58 million when it launched across 4,202 venues. Disney and Marvel’s all-star heroes in Avengers: Endgame managed to withstand the pocket monster assault, raking in $65 million in their third weekend in theatres.

Outside of North American cinemas, Detective Pikachu made $103 million across 62 international territories. China was the movie's second-biggest audience, bringing in a total of $40 million, and the United Kingdom added a cool $6.6 million to the overall amount ($161 million).
