POKEMON
Budget: $165,000,000
Total Box Office: $776,788,299
Total Profit: $340,019,100
LRF's first live-action trip into the world of Pokémon became an immediate heavyweight at the box office, nearly reaching $800 million worldwide and generating more than twice its production budget in pure profit. The performance instantly establishes the property as one of the studio's most valuable new franchises.
BOX OFFICE FACT
Star Noah Schnapp now has two major LRF video game franchises on his résumé — playing Ash Ketchum in Pokémon and voicing Link in The Legend of Zelda. The first films in those two franchises have combined to gross just under $1.25 billion worldwide.

THE PASSAGEWAY
Budget: $33,000,000
Total Box Office: $47,062,055
Total Profit: -$15,100,001
Despite a manageable $33 million production budget, The Passageway failed to find enough of an audience to cover its full costs. The horror mystery ultimately finished more than $15 million in the red, making it Season 37's first financial casualty.
BOX OFFICE FACT
Rami Malek's first LRF appearance since Season 11 is just the second box office flop on his resume - joining The Story of the Assassin, which lost $81 million in Season 8.

DEADLINE
Budget: $54,000,000
Total Box Office: $112,721,449
Total Profit: $4,138,247
Deadline more than doubled its production budget at the worldwide box office, but the final accounting left very little behind once additional costs were factored in. Its $4.1 million profit keeps the film technically above water and, more importantly, gives one of LRF's traditionally difficult genres its first positive result.
BOX OFFICE FACT
Deadline becomes the first film classified under LRF's Political genre to turn a profit at the box office.

Season 37 Round 1 Total Box Office:
$936,571,803
Season 37 Round 1 Total Profit:
$329,057,346
Round 1 was overwhelmingly powered by Pokémon, which accounted for roughly 83% of the round's worldwide box office and actually generated more profit than the round's final total after The Passageway's loss was factored in. It was therefore an excellent opening round financially, even if the strength was concentrated almost entirely in one release.
Season 37 Total Box Office:
$936,571,803
Season 37 Total Profit:
$329,057,346
Season 37 begins with nearly $937 million in worldwide box office and $329 million in profit, giving LRF an enormous head start compared with the mediocre financial finish of Season 36. One round is far too early to judge the season as a whole, however, and the opening slate was heavily dependent on a single blockbuster rather than across-the-board strength.
SEASON 37 BOX OFFICE STANDINGS
1. Pokémon — $776,788,299 👑
2. Deadline — $112,721,449 ⚖️
3. The Passageway — $47,062,055 💣
