Although the film has a slight lack of media reputation, according to the statistics of CinemaScore website, the audience still recognizes that the performance of the film gives a good score of A-. In a series of game-adapted movies, Pokémon Detective Pikachu is the sixth movie with a score higher than B, among which three A- movies are also from the "Pokémon" theatrical version produced by Warner, and the other two are and.

Pokémon Detective Pikachu’s box office on Friday’s opening day was 20.63 million, which was better than the 16.06 million of "Reunion 4". However, in the following two days of the weekend, the performance of "Reunion 4" rebounded and finally defeated "Pikachu" for three consecutive victories with $63.05 million, holding the top spot. The media predicted that Pokémon Detective Pikachu would end up in the range of $145 million to $165 million, and the global box office of the film reached $103 million last weekend. In addition, the Japanese region took the lead in opening the film on May 3, and the cumulative overseas box office of the film is currently $112 million.

Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson co-starred in the comedy, which took a total of $13.5 million in three days last weekend, ranking third. The audience showed that the performance of the film was acceptable, and gave a grade B. Among them, 72% of the audience were women, and nearly 70% of the audience were under the age of 35, which is also the group that women comedy films want to focus on. The film Cheerleading for the Old Lady, starring Jacki Weaver, diane keaton and others, tells the story of a group of retired women forming a cheerleading team in the community. It opened in 2,750 cinemas and earned $5.11 million at the box office. This result is not ideal for STX, the producer. Last week, although the film of the same company was pleasantly listed with a score of 8.6 million US dollars, it dropped significantly afterwards, and only recorded 3.9 million US dollars last week. Another new film on the list ranked ninth. It was released on a small scale before it was released, and then it was expanded to 1495 cinemas. However, it was not satisfactory at the box office, and it only earned $2.15 million in three days last weekend.

　Stealing the heart and stealing the woman

Although the super cute Pikachu ranked "Reunion 4" at the box office on the first day, it was not satisfactory in terms of media reputation, which seems to be unable to escape the curse that the game animation adaptation film has always been weak and stale. The comprehensive media score of the film on MTC website is 52, and the freshness of the film on rotten tomato website has barely climbed the passing line, which is currently 63%, which is 86% higher than the popcorn index of the audience. In terms of favorable comments, The Guardian said: "It was a surprise to enable the actor of Deadpool to voice Pikachu, which changed an ordinary Pokémon film into a family reunion." In terms of bad reviews, The Wrap said: "A cute and meaningful video game will not always be adapted into a movie with a good story." New york magazine said: "People who are obsessed with Baokemeng will want to find out, but there is no surprise in the whole film, which is not enough as a fascinating genre film, and there is not enough humor to make it a light comedy, which is more stupid."

Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson starred in the remake of the new comedy "Stealing Women" from 1988, and the reputation of the film was also contrary to the box office performance, and the film evaluation almost fell to the bottom. At present, MTC’s comprehensive media score is 36, rotten tomato index is only 16%, and IMDb score is 4.9. Rolling Stone magazine sharply commented: "Although Hathaway and Wilson play a pair of liars, the plot of the film is too mediocre, and the jokes are not grounded. The actors forcefully create a funny atmosphere but it is not funny at all. Everyone should be cautious about such a remake of a female role, and it is the audience themselves who are finally cheated. "

Another new film starring nicholas hoult and Lily Collins is equally worrying. The MTC score is 48, the rotten tomato index is 49%, and IMDb is relatively high at 7. In the favorable media evaluation, Entertainment Weekly said: "Holt played Tolkien with a quiet and romantic tension, and the appearance of the Hobbit tribe eclipsed all the eggs in the film." "Variety" gave a bad review and said: "This film shows solemnity and good performance, but in the end it has no substance. The practice of literary biographies has weakened its charm, relying entirely on the fickle text content and finally killing the spirituality of the film. "

Old film: Reunion 4 surpassed 723 million global box office and approached Avatar.

In terms of old films, the lack of stamina began to show in the third week, and compared with the decline of 58% in the second week, the decline last week reached 57.2%, and the cumulative box office income in North America was 723 million US dollars. Up to now, the global box office of "Reunion 4" has exceeded $2.4 billion, exceeding $2.1 billion and ranking second in the global cumulative box office list, while the gap with the first place ($2.78 billion) is gradually narrowing. At the same time, the film has ranked third in the historical box office list in North America, surpassing 670 million and 700 million dollars, only a small gap from the second-place Avatar’s 760 million dollars, and it seems only a matter of time to break the first-place 936 million dollars.

Intruder and The Long Process earned $6.6 million and $6.12 million, respectively, and dropped to fourth and fifth place. Captain Surprise, which has been released for 10 weeks, is near the top ten of the list, and the cumulative box office has reached 423 million US dollars. And "Thunder Shazan! "has fallen out of the top ten and slipped to the 12th place, with a cumulative box office of $137 million.
