Box Office: Robert Pattinson’s ‘Mickey 17’ Makes $2.5 Million in Previews
variety.comJordan Moreau The box office is welcoming back Robert Pattinson — a lot of him. Pattinson stars in “Mickey 17,” an R-rated sci-fi movie from “Parasite” director Bong Joon Ho, where he plays multiple clones of the same person who dies repeatedly.
The Warner Bros. movie has made $2.5 million in Thursday previews at the box office so far. It’s on track to open domestically with $18 million to $20 million this weekend and $20 million to $25 million internationally.
That would put its global opening at $40 million to $45 million. “Mickey 17” cost $118 million to make, so it’ll need around $275 million to $300 million at the global box office to turn a profit, which will be a challenge.
Based on the book “Mickey 7” by author Edward Ashton, “Mickey 17” is Bong’s first film since 2019’s “Parasite,” which won the Academy Awards for best picture, director, original screenplay and international feature.
