Mickey 17 is the new movie of Bong Joon-Ho spoken in English after Snowpiercer and Okja. It is a production of Warner Bros. that has a cast full of stars (headed by Robert Pattinson) and obviously there was much expected of the Oscar winner’s film for Parasite.
Without having clear numbers, there are those who estimate that Mickey 17 cost between 140 and 150 million dollars, others talk about 118 million plus 80 in marketing expenses.
Mickey 17 managed to debut in first place in most markets, but the numbers are very far away from the expected. The film has $ 90 million collected worldwide: In the US, only 33 million has won and a drastic fall is predicted in the next few days, coinciding with a really precarious moment for the box office of this country.
The World of Reel portal indicates that there will be about 100 million losses for the film, also revealing (although there is no official confirmation of this) that Warner already put the date upon arrival at the arrival at the arrival at Bongy’s Digital Rental. This will happen this March 25, just 18 days after the premiere of the film in cinemas, so the exhibition window will have been much lower than expected. It is unknown if there is an intention to soon take the film to the Max catalog.
What Mickey 17 is about
Based on the novel Mickey7 of Edward Ashtonthe film follows Mickey Barnes (Pattinson), a expendable: an disposable employee in a human expedition sent to colonize the icy world of Niflheim.
Whenever there is a mission that is too dangerous, even suicidal, the crew resorts to Mickey. After an iteration dies, a new body is regenerated with most of its intact memories. After six deaths, Mickey understands the terms of his treatment … and why it was the only vacant colonial position when he accepted it.
Written and directed by Bong Joon Hostars Pattinson, Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Together with the Oscar nominees Toni Collette and Mark Ruffalo.
