‘Mickey 17’ Carries Mark Ruffalo’s Career Box Office Total Past an Ethereal Milestone

With a budget of more than $100 million, a $19 million opening might not be what Warner Bros. had hoped for with Mickey 17, but the film still performed well enough to push one of its stars past a colossal personal milestone. Mark Ruffalo, who stars as the villain Kenneth Marshall in Bong Joon Ho’s latest sci-fi epic, has now crossed $11.5 billion at the global box office, thanks to Mickey 17, which sits at a worldwide total of $53 million. $19 million of Mickey 17’s earnings come from domestic markets, and $34 million come from overseas, some of which from Bong Joon Ho’s home of South Korea, where the film premiered early. Mickey 17 finally took the top spot at the box office this weekend from Captain America: Brave New World, which hails from the MCU, a franchise Ruffalo has to thank for much of his career box office success.
