In what looks to be the funniest/saddest piece of news we'll be getting this week, a theater in Montréal has accidentally played
The Curse of La Llorona, and R-rated horror film, instead of the family friendly
Detective Pikachu; probably scarring some of those kids for life.
Probably the worst offender is the fact that kids had to sit through trailers for
Anabelle Comes Home,
Joker, and
Child's Play — all of which being R-rated films — before
Detective Pikachu began; only to find out that they were getting
The Curse of La Llorona.
Both
Detective Pikachu and
The Curse of La Llorona are being published by Warner Bros. so it is likely that someone at the theater mixed them up before playing the movie. Whatever the case, someone's very likely to lose their job over this screw up.
The first-ever live-action Pokémon movie, “POKÉMON Detective Pikachu” stars Ryan Reynolds as the titular character in the first-ever live-action movie based on the iconic face of the global Pokémon brand—one of the world’s most popular, multi-generation entertainment properties and most successful media franchises of all time.
Detective Pikachu is currently playing in theaters.
