Mewtwo Strikes Back: Evolution, a full 3DCG remake of the first Pokémon film Pokémon the Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back in 1989, was released in 367 theaters with 408 screens across Japan on July 12, 2019, and earned a solid 553 million yen on 454,000 admissions to become the second top-grossing film of the weekend of July 13-14 behind only Toy Story 4 with a massive 1.377 billion yen.
Judging form its well-done opening weekend result, Mewtwo Strikes Back: Evolution is expected to end its domestic run with more than 3 billion yen.
Its current total domestic gross has already surpassed 900 million yen, and will likely cross the one billion yen mark in the next weekend.
