"Mickey 17" struggles in theaters before digital release

Bong Joon-Ho's film "Mickey 17," starring Robert Pattinson, is struggling at the box office, having earned about $59.8 million against a $118 million budget. The film is set to debut on streaming platforms on March 25, just weeks after its March 7 theatrical release. Warner Bros has not confirmed the streaming date, but reports suggest it will be available for pre-order on Prime Video for $24.99. The film's early digital release may limit its box office potential, as it has not yet broken even. "Mickey 17" was delayed for a year before its release and was expected to compete for the 2025 Oscars. Critics have praised the film, but its success may depend on a longer theatrical run to build audience momentum.
