‘Mickey 17’ Passes ‘Snowpiercer’ to Become Bong Joon Ho's Highest-Grossing English Language Movie
Bong Joon Ho's Mickey 17 is on track to become his highest-grossing English language movie.
Mickey 17 has passed Snowpiercer at the global box office to become the highest-grossing English-language film ever for director Bong Joon Ho. The film crossed the $90 million mark at the box office this weekend, enough to move it past the $86 million that the Chris Evans-led dystopian thriller concluded its run with in 2013. Mickey 17 was already the second-highest-grossing movie of Joon Ho’s career at the domestic box office — its $33 million total easily moved past Snowpiercer's $4.5 million on opening weekend — but it still has roughly $20 million more to earn in the U.S. if it is going to pass Parasite. Parasite also collected $199 million internationally for a $253 million global total, a haul that is safely out of reach for Mickey 17.
