How Much is Mickey 17 Likely to Make in Its Opening Weekend?

Mickey 17 has all the makings of a box office success, as it has a unique plot, an excellent cast, and a multi Academy Award-winning director.

Despite all the above, many media outlets have speculated that the upcoming flick might struggle to recoup its $150m budget.

Yet, there is hope for the sci-fi thriller, which is scheduled for release on March 7, 2025, in the United States.

Keep reading to learn how much Mickey 17 is likely to make during its opening weekend.

1xBet’s Odds at 1.8 predict a 55.6% chance that Mickey 17 will total over $21.5 million at the domestic box office on its opening weekend ::: Discover the current Odds now HERE

A $15 to $20 Million Prediction

Boxoffice Pro predicts Mickey 17, which stars Robert Pattinson and Toni Colette, will gross approximately $15 to $20 million domestically during its opening weekend.

If this is the case, it will provide director Bong Joon-ho with the biggest domestic debut of his career. However, it will struggle to rival major sci-fi flicks opening weekends at the US box office.

For perspective, Dune: Part Two grossed $82.5 million during its opening weekend, and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire made $80 million.

Of course, Mickey 17 has the tougher challenge of driving people to movie theaters, as it’s an original flick, isn’t a part of a franchise, and doesn’t have a large and loyal fanbase.

Kinder Betting Odds

Betting odds have been a little kinder to Mickey 17 than Boxoffice Pro’s estimation, as they indicate the film will total over $21.5 million at the domestic box office in its opening weekend.

As mentioned, the film doesn’t have a huge fanbase, meaning it will rely on early reviews to drive people to movie theaters.

Fortunately, most of the early reviews are positive, with many praising Mickey 17 for its creative direction, excellent performances, screenplay, and social commentary.

Also, many film lovers might flock to see Joon-ho’s first film since winning three Academy Awards for Parasite, including Best Picture.

Captain America Clash

As always, the box office competition will shape the film’s opening weekend success. Unfortunately for Mickey 17, it will clash with Captain America: Brave New World in movie theaters.

The much-loved superhero flick has already enjoyed a great start, as it experienced a superb $88 million opening in February 2025.

As Marvel movies are popular with movie lovers of many ages, Captain America: Brave New World could steal many ticket sales away from Mickey 17.

However, aside from Captain America, Mickey 17 faces minimal competition, meaning it could enjoy box office success following its release this March.

Robert Pattinson’s Appeal

While the Marvel movie Captain America: Brave New World might attract many people to the silver screen, Mickey 17 features Robert Pattinson, who has received much critical acclaim for his portrayal of DC’s Batman.

As a result, millions of DC fans might not hesitate to buy tickets to watch Pattinson take on a brand-new role in the sci-fi comedy thriller.

Plus, Twilight fans old and new could help the flick generate greater sales when torn between films to watch at a movie theater this March.

As Mickey 17 is an original movie, it is hard to predict if it will be a box office success or flop, meaning you will need to wait patiently for its opening weekend to find out if it will recoup its $150 million budget.

If you believe Mickey 17 will total under $21.5 million at the domestic box office on its opening weekend, you could win $190 by betting $100 at 1xBet if it happens.
