The original science fiction film of the filmmaker “Parasite” Bong Joon Ho “Mickey 17” opened its doors in first place in the North American charts of the box office. According to the studio estimates on Sunday, the film led by Robert Pattinson won $ 19.1 million during his first weekend in theaters, which was enough to dethrone “Captain America: Brave New World” after a three-week reign.
Abroad, “Mickey 17” has already won $ 34.2 million, bringing its global total to $ 53.3 million. But the profitability of the film is far away: it cost $ 118 million to produce, which does not explain millions spent on marketing and promotion.
A week after the Oscars, where the baker of the filmmaker “Anora” delivered a passionate speech on the importance of theatrical experience – so that the filmmakers continue to make films for large screens, so that distributors focus on theatrical outings and so that audiences continue – “Mickey 17” is perhaps the perfect representation of this moment in the business, or at least an interesting case study. It is an original film of an Oscar -winning director led by a large star who offered a successful budget and received a robust theatrical outing by Warner Bros., one of the few major studios to play. But despite all this, and the criticisms that were mostly positive (79% on REPEROMATOES), the public did not treat it as an event film, and he can finally have trouble breaking.
Originally at the release in March 2024, the follow -up of Bong Joon Ho with an Oscar -winning “parasite” was faced with several delays, which he attributed to attenuating circumstances around Hollywood strikes. Based on Edward Ashton’s “Mickey” novel “Mickey”, Pattinson plays a consumable employee who dies of missions and is reprinted many times. Steven Yeun, Naomi Ackie, Toni Collette and Mark Ruffalo also play.
It opened its doors in 3,807 places at the national level where he obtained best in New York and Los Angeles. Premium first format projections, including IMAX screens, also represented almost half of its opening weekend. Internationally, he particularly succeeded in Korea, where he made around $ 14.6 million.
The second place went to “Captain America: Brave New World”, which added $ 8.5 million on 3,480 locations in North America and $ 9.2 million internationally. Its global total currently represents $ 370.8 million. The Walt Disney Studios is on the right track to become the first studio to cross $ 1 billion in 2025 this week.
The retained “Last Breath”, “the monkey” and “Paddington in Peru” completed the first five. The weekend has also experienced several other newcomers in “In the Lost Lands”, a fantastic film by Paul Ws Anderson with Milla Jovovich and Dave Bautista, and “Breakers” by Angel Studios, on Afghan girls in a team of robotics.
Neon has increased the number of theater for “Anora” to nearly 2,000 screens after winning five Oscars on Sunday, including the best film, the best director and the best actress. He won around $ 1.9 million (up 595% compared to last weekend), bringing his total of gross to $ 18.4 million.
According to Comscre data, the 2025 box office as a whole is up 1% compared to what it was last year this weekend and down 34.2% compared to the last year of pre-countryic box-office of 2019.
“It is the Russian mountain that is the box office,” said Paul Dergarabedian, analyst of the senior media for Comscore. “You have two or three weeks down, this can have a deep impact on net profit and the percentage advantage. But that will come back.
