The Mickey 17 of Bong Joon-Ho starts very soft at the US box office

Robert Pattinson failed to attract American crowds for the big dystopian science fiction comedy by Warner Bros.

Five years later Parasitethe return of Bong Joon-Ho was eagerly awaited. Especially since the Korean director signs a new Hollywood blockbuster, a decade after the excellent Snowpiecer. But Mickey 17 has obviously not completely convinced. The dystopian science fiction film featuring a dozen Robert Pattinsonwas certainly raised in first place in the American box office with $ 19.1 million (coming from 3,807 rooms) but the big Warner Bros. The trifle of $ 118 million cost the trifle. An ambitious bet and we understand from this timid start-up across the Atlantic that Mickey 17 will find it difficult to be profitable.

Received lukewarm by criticism in the United States, Mickey 17 will not be able to benefit from the excellent word of mouth of Parasite. However, the new Bong Joon-Ho must bring between $ 275 and $ 300 million worldwide to hope to bring money to Warner, according to the press. For the time being, in the world, Mickey 17 only generated $ 53.3 million …

THE Batman Pattinson still pays for a super-concurrent: Captain America. Brave New World loses its number 1 place after three weeks at the top of the US box office. The Disney and Marvel film falls in second place and is satisfied with $ 8.5 million in 3,480 rooms for its fourth operating weekend. The MCU film is currently showing $ 177 million in US box office and $ 370.8 million worldwide. A solid score, which should allow Disney not to lose money. But the Golden Eggs in Marvel eggs are struggling to be efficient in recent times. The studio nevertheless has two other major productions planned for the next six months: Thunderboltswhich will be released on May 2, and The fantastic four: first stepsscheduled for July 25.

We can note in the top 5 that Paddington in Peru clings, bringing its American total to a modest $ 36.9 million after four operating weekends. The adventure of the nice marmalade amateur bear met with much greater success, with $ 138.8 million, for a global total of $ 175.8 million. However, this third part is quite far from reaching peaks of the first two films in the saga, Padadington (2014), which had brought in $ 326 million worldwide, and Paddington 2 (2017), which had generated $ 290 million at the world box office.
