Ouch.
Well, regardless of the order of these two movies, Legendary Pictures already had a lot of experience prior DP.

"Everyone's Story" didn't exactly carry the same amount of nostalgic weight that "I Choose You" did. Even so, that hype kinda died down when the videos of people freaking out over Pikachu speaking made its rounds, which I think is most of what you hear about that film outside of Ho-Oh finally starring in a movie. And didn't those two movies have only, what, a two-day limited release at various theaters across the nation? Just like every other non-Ghibli/DBZ anime movie?
I get if Fathom was disappointed by the box-office for "Everyone's Story" that they may have had second thoughts, but you'd think they'd give the most popular movie's remake (starring one of the most popular Pokemon) a chance. Oh, and a studio situated in LA actually helped animate the film. Gotta give them that recognition. No? Your loss, Fathom.

What's that?
Make an easy couple million bucks with a theatrical run of an enhanced remake of the first movie?

Compared to Japan, the Pokemon anime doesn't have the audience to make a theatrical release succeed much, really. Unless they were to promote the movie using commercials...which TPCI won't do.

So is this the Japanese box office or the American box office?

DP's Japanese box office was $27,000,000
M22 was $21,000,000

...Wow, really? I'm more surprised DP did that much, unless it's a lot coming from one region alone.

Movie 22's box office is $26,654,184 according to Box Office Mojo, so the difference is small. Movie 22 faced stiffer competition (three Disney movies, Weathering With You and One Piece).

"It is my destiny."
Although for having gone up against Disney, One Piece, and a Makoto Shinkai film, it hung on in the top ten for a good several weeks before it dropped off. Doesn't really sound impressive, but it stayed within the box office's radar for quite a while. Think it lasted a little longer than DP by a few weeks.
We unfortunately have no known records of how much the first movie actually made in Japan, so we can't make a comparison to know how well the remake did compared to the original's release 21 years ago.

We do. It made 7.54 billion yen, compared to about 2.9 billion yen for the remake.
Times are different. It makes more sense to look at the past few years.

Oh has it? Where's the source?

I took 7.54 billion yen from Dogasu's site. A more official source claims 7.6 billion (it's 79th on the all-time ranking for Japanese box office, including international movies).

Ok, considering that the film isn't going to have a cinema release, the question on my mind is "I wonder when (and where) it'll be shown in Europe."
Oh? No fathom release this year?! Has that been confirmed in a statement? It's been nice seeing pokemon movies in theater since the victini movie!

Someone posted a pic to a tweet saying there were no plans on the last page of this thread.
Thanks! And I agree, i thought this movie would for sure make it to theaters in US and Canada! Oh well...
Hopefully it will air on TV!

It's apparently supposed to air on Disney XD, but I don't know if there's been any announcements or commercials promoting it if it's to air in the upcoming weeks.

There actually hasn't been any announcements at all for the Intl version of the movie yet. Guess their still busy dubbing for the trailers or something.

I'm hoping it airs on TV as a compromise for not having cinema screenings (though TV airings does happen every year, so that isn't an issue), though I'm waiting for the UK airing myself.
