‘Mickey 17’ Projected to Lose $75 Million in Theatrical Run
"Mickey 17," Bong Joon Ho's sci-fi satire, is shaping up to be a major money loser for Warner Bros. following its rocky box office reception.
Other spring and summer offerings, such as “A Minecraft Movie,” James Gunn’s “Superman” and Ryan Coogler’s vampire thriller “Sinners,” starring Michael B. Jordan, seem like safer propositions, at least commercially. So far, overall box office grosses in 2025 have been grim as other original films like Paramount’s action comedy “Novocaine” and Focus Features’ spy thriller “Black Bag” are similarly struggling to draw sizable crowds, while franchise fare like Disney’s “Captain America: Brave New World” and Sony’s “Paddington in Peru” aren’t living up to the heights of their predecessors. Will the smattering of upcoming blockbuster-hopefuls, such as “A Minecraft Movie,” “Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning,” “Jurassic World Rebirth,” “Lilo & Stitch” and the “How to Train Your Dragon” remake, help to reverse course for theaters — and maybe even turn a profit for their respective studios?
