Releasing last month,
Detective Pikachu is the first live-action film in the popular
Pokemon franchise. While it was predicted that the film would succeed, based on its ties to
Pokemon alone, nobody would've been able to guess how much it would soar.
A lot of people thought that
Detective Pikachu wouldn't be able to hold a candle to
Avengers: Endgame, which had only released a week and a half beforehand. However, the
Pokemon film has still managed to thrive, recently passing the $100 million USD mark at the domestic box office after just two weeks in theatres.
This news comes courtesy of estimate numbers by
Box Office Mojo (via
Toonado), who recently reported that
Detective Pikachu has earned $116 million domestically so far. This would therefore make it the tenth film to release in 2019 to cross the $100 million mark in the US alone. Combined with the amount it has earned elsewhere;
Detective Pikachu has made $352.9 million worldwide.
