‘Mickey 17’ Passes Final Global Box Office Milestone Without Earning Back Its Budget
Mickey 17 has crossed one last milestone at the global box office, with no hope of earning back its reported budget.
After a largely disappointing half-a-month in theaters worldwide, director Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17 has passed what will likely be its one and only global box office milestone. The science-fiction film, which debuted theatrically after a suspicious delay, had an underwhelming debut a few months ago. Despite the presence of star Robert Pattinson and largely positive reviews, Mickey 17 struggled to find an audience. This is perhaps why Warner Bros. decided to debut it on PVOD platforms a mere 17 days after its theatrical debut — a window this short is normally reserved for movies that have truly under-performed at the box office.
