Mickey 17 landed at the box office, where it opened to a sluggish $19.1 million after failing to wow audiences. That was still more than enough to come in at No. 1 amid a slowdown that has seen year-over-gains plummet over the past several weekends.
Mickey 17‘s price-tag is another challenge. The dark comedy cost a reported $118 million to make before marketing, so will need strong legs to land in the black. Reviewers and audiences weren’t excited about the film, which boasts a solid but not spectacular 78 percent critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes and 73 percent on the Rotten Tomatoes Popcorn meter, and was slapped with a B CinemaScore.
Marvel’s Captain America: Brave New World — the year’s top earner to date — held firmly at No. 2 in its fourth outing with an estimated $8.5 million for a domestic haul of $176.6 million. Overseas, it earned another $9.2 million for a foreign tally of $194.2 million and $370.8 million globally.
