The highly-anticipated sci-fi film by Bong Joon Ho, titled Mickey 17, has made its grand debut at cinemas, and is projected to earn between $18 million and $20 million in domestic box office sales. Kicking off its run on Friday with $7.7 million in ticket sales, it’s predicted that the movie will claim the top spot, even though initial expectations were slightly higher.
The Warner Bros. film serves as the highly anticipated sequel by director Bong following his Academy Award-winning masterpiece, Parasite, and features Robert Pattinson in the cast.
The movie, jointly produced by Plan B and Warners, hasn’t been universally praised by either reviewers or viewers. It currently holds a 78% approval rating among critics on Rotten Tomatoes, but cinema-goers have given it a B grade according to CinemaScore.
Science fiction films often face challenges in finding an audience, and the case is especially difficult when a movie like “Mickey 17” has a production budget over $118 million. This high cost puts significant expectations on its box office performance, as Warner Bros. has been experiencing a series of difficulties recently. However, internationally, it has already earned $18.7 million, with $11.4 million coming from South Korea alone, resulting in a total global earnings of $26.4 million by Friday.
In this freshly-minted ice settlement, Robert Pattinson portrays a character who’s labeled as “disposable,” constantly meeting his end in a series of unfortunate events. Joining him are Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo.
This dark comedy takes place in an icy outpost that’s just getting started. Robert Pattinson plays a character who is repeatedly eliminated, only to be brought back to life. The cast includes Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo.
In his 2022 novel “Mickey 7,” Edward Ashton initially set the stage for a tale revolving around the seventh incarnation of Mickey Barnes. However, in the upcoming film adaptation, the number of Mickey’s iterations has been raised to 17. During CinemaCon in April, director Bong jokingly noted that Mickey dies 10 times more than originally stated, causing laughter from the audience. “It’s a science fiction movie, but at its core, it’s a deeply human story,” he added.
