As always, he's lying again. Koko shit the bed at the box office because of the pandemic. Otherwise, the only movies to perform worse than the XY movies (which contain his favorite "eyecandy" girl to simp over) are Pokemon Heroes and Manaphy, both of which had limited releases. Pokemon 4Ever, which did so poorly at the time that Weinstein's Miramax stopped putting them in theaters, outdid XY, aka, the last traditional Ash movie. I Choose You did 34 million to XY's 21. Everyone's Story did nearly 30 million.
And of course, the one movie to not feature Ash at all, Detective Pikachu, blows everything else out of the water. Yes, this includes Mewtwo Strikes Back, which was the highest grossing Japanese film in US box offices when it released.
