Mickey 17, the quirky sci-fi about a simple laborer getting to respawn as a reprinted duplicate after dying, stars Robert Pattinson (who is currently the face of Batman for the studio) and comes from Bong Joon Ho, director of the Academy Award-winning filmParasite.Mickey 17sported a sizable science fiction budget of $118 million with its incredible-looking effects and set designs. It was also said to need around $275 million to $300 million worldwide to get in the black while making its theatrical run. Unfortunately, the futuristic clone comedy would only gross about $19 million in its first week, and in the second week, business dropped60%with the competition ofNovocaine.
It was being reported thatMickey 17could cause a $100 million loss for Warner Bros. and the David Zaslav regime would not surprise anyone if they were to prematurely release it for digital home viewing. Although there hadn’t been official announcements, it was also reported that the film was considered to be dumped on digital when the second-week drop in sales was staggering. It didn’t quite hit streaming 18 days after its theatrical premiere, but Mickey 17 is now available to watch on digital.
Our own Chris Bumbray enjoyed the film, even if he found that a chunk of it didn’t work for him. He would say in hisreview,“Indeed,Mickey 17is all over the place in terms of quality. It’s one of the few recent films where I went back and forth between thinking it was a disaster and a masterpiece over and over again – sometimes in the same scene, depending on who was being showcased. Some of it is grating – some of it is superb. It doesn’t really work as a whole, but you know what? I’m glad it exists.”

Pattinson and Warners will continue their working relationship as he will finally get to film a sequel to The Batman after many delays. Pattinson and hisMickey 17co-star Naomi Ackie interviewed each other forHero Magazine, where Pattinson jokes about the delay. Ackie would ask him about it,“It’s amazing. And obviously, you’re Batman – are you going to doBatmanagain soon?”Then, Pattinson jokes, “I f*cking hope so. [laughs] I started out as young Batman and I’m going to be fucking old Batman by the sequel. [both laugh]”
