Children excitedly went to the cinema to see the new family-friendly Detective Pikachu movie.
However, they soon realized that they won’t be seeing their fluffy yellow Pokemon.
Detective Pikachu is based on the Pokémon spin-off game that allows players to work with a talking Pikachu to solve cases. The new movie follows the cute, yellow Pikachu as he assists Tim in solving a mystery, with one of the villains believed to be a water/dark type frog-like Pokémon.
Ryan George, who works at the movie place ScreenRant, shared a series of tweets explaining that eyebrows started to raise when the trailers did not seem to be appropriate for Detective Pikachu.
He wrote on Twitter: “The theatre I’m in is playing a trailer for Annabelle Comes Home before Detective Pikachu LOOK AWAY CHILDREN OH NO.”
“Andddd kids are crying. Now the Joker trailer is playing.
“NOW IT’S CHUCKY OH NO CHILDREN OH NO.
“OH MY GOD THEY’RE PLAYING LA LLORANA INSTEAD OF DETECTIVE PIKACHU.”
The Curse of La Llorona is a supernatural horror movie that is the 6th installment in The Conjuring Universe. The film follows a mother who needs to save her child from an evil spirit trying to take them.
Yes, that is not what the children were expecting when they entered the cinema for the flully Pokémon.
One person commented: “Reminds me of that time the theater I was in played a trailer for Seed of Chucky before Spiderman 2. I was 11. It was traumatizing.”
Another tweeted: “I find this absolutely hilarious. I saw my first horror movie when I was 6. The original HALLOWEEN. I would let my kid stay and watch.”
A third said: “I saw a kids movie in theaters a few years ago and the theater accidentally played the redband trailer for the first Deadpool. That got some comments.”
