Bong Joon Ho’s latest sci-fi thriller, Mickey 17, has officially passed the $100 million mark at the worldwide box office. Starring Robert Pattinson in the lead role, the film has generated significant buzz among moviegoers and critics alike.

As of now, Mickey 17 has earned $49.2 million domestically (United States and Canada) and $60.8 million internationally, bringing its global total to approximately $110 million.

In South Korea, the film’s debut was significant, with it opening on February 28, 2025. Warner Bros.’s highest-grossing debut in the region was earned $9 million during its opening weekend. The U.S. and Canada opened Mickey 17 a week later, with $19 million earned from 3,770 seats in theaters. The movie is expected to earn between $240 million and $300 million globally, as per box office estimates, regardless of these numbers. However,

Critics have praised Bong Joon Ho’s signature storytelling style, with Robbie Collin of The Daily Telegraph noting that Mickey 17 skillfully blends genres, keeping audiences engaged throughout its runtime. Many have also lauded Robert Pattinson’s performance, calling it one of his most complex roles to date.
