Box Office: ‘Mickey 17’ Freezes Up With Chilly $7.7 Million Opening Day


Bong Joon Ho and Robert Pattinson's sci-fi comedy 'Mickey 17' is getting a cold opening at the box office.

Bong Joon Ho ‘s “ Mickey 17,” the first of Warner Bros. ‘ eclectic, pricey 2025 slate of original films from name-brand directors like Ryan Coogler and Paul Thomas Anderson, isn’t getting the warmest arrival at the box office. Reviews have been positive for “Mickey 17,” though not as superlatively euphoric as Bong Joon Ho’s last feature, the Oscar-winning 2019 thriller “Parasite,” which earned more than $262 million worldwide and ranks as the highest-grossing Korean film in history. Along with Pattinson, playing multiple, Joe Pera-soundalike duplicates of an expendable space explorer, “Mickey 17” also stars Mark Ruffalo, Naomi Ackie, Toni Colette and Steven Yeun.
