‘Mickey 17’ Will Be Tricky At Global Box Office With $45M Debut: Weekend Preview
Bong Joon Ho's 'Mickey 17' at $118M cost looks to flop at the box office with a $45M global box office start.
Next to other Bong Joon Ho movies, the production cost for Mickey 17 stands above the filmmaker’s own Netflix feature Okja($50M) as well as his Cannes Palme d’Or and multi-Oscar winning Parasite($11M) which netted over $46M in profit after all ancillaries. Based on the Edward Ashton novel Mickey 7 and adapted by Bong Joon Ho, the project was greenlit by the Toby Emmerich Warner administration in January 2022 and shepherded and supported by the incoming Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy studio leadership when they took over in June 2022. This frame adds 66 offshore markets, including such majors as France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, China, Australia and all of Latin America with an international debut eyed at about $25M.
