Pokémon: Detective Pikachu
Check out my review of the film here!
Pokémon: Detective Pikachu comes out on home video in Japan on October 30th, 2019.
More details about each release can be found here.
Japan will be the first country in the world to release the film despite the fact that it was produced in America. While rare, this isn't completely unheard of; the two Andrew Garfield The Amazing Spider-Man films came out in Japan a few days before their American releases, for example.
In the Nintendo 3DS game on which this movie is based, Detective Pikachu ~ Birth of a New Duo ~, Pikachu's voice is provided by Toru Okawa (大川 透), Tim's by Yuuma Uchida (内田雄馬), and Mewtwo's by Toru Furuya (古谷 徹). All three characters were recast for the Japanese dub of the film.
Gross-to-date: 2.7 billion yen (as of June 10th, 2019)
Number of Days in Theaters: TBA

Tim
(Justice Smith), who used to love pokemon when he was a boy, has been
avoiding both his father Harry and pokemon ever since the former didn't
come home while working on a case having to do with the latter. Years
later the now adult Tim receives a phone call from Harry's former
partner Lieutenant Yoshida (Ken Watanabe): "I'm sorry but your father
was in an accident...he didn't make it." With his head still swirling
with emotions Tim heads to Ryme City, a place where humans and pokemon
live side by side. As he's in his father's apartment to clear out his
belongings Tim has his first encounter with Detective Pikachu (Ryan
Reynolds), a pokemon who can speak human language that only he can
hear. Detective Pikachu tells Tim that he was Harry's partner and that
he lost his memory due to the accident but that he is sure of one
thing: "Harry's still alive." Why did Harry vanish? What is the mystery
of the incident that took place in Ryme City? A new duo is about to
tackle this great mystery head on!
