@Mickey17

18 March 2025

Very disappointing that there was pretty much zero effort to promote Mickey17 in Australia (current box office as at 17 March is $2,295,523). I’ve been told it was similar in the US where their current box office is $33,212,062.

Production companies (I’m looking at you Warner Bros) wonder why movies don’t make much at the box office, (and there may be some truth with the cost of living worldwide being sky high and people are watching their spending) but I’m more inclined to believe that having such a limited cinema release before being released digitally does not give people incentive to rush to the movies. I know it was the 1970s, but Star Wars was at the cinema for 2+ years (mainly because only one cinema was screening) but also due to the fact that it was the only place you could watch it. Anyway, according to World of Reel:

“Warner Bros. has had enough. They’ve decided to ship ‘Mickey 17’ to digital on March 25 — that’s only 18 days after its theatrical debut. The film is expected to have a 60% drop and earn $7.5M in its second weekend. ‘Mickey’ is destined to cause a $100M loss for Warner Bros.Mickey 17 is being digitally released on 25 March 2025.”

Meanwhile according to Box Office Report Mickey 17 grossed an estimated $10.2M from global IMAX screens through Sunday (Domestic – $5.2M | International – $5.0M).

In other news, Mickey 17 is going great guns in South Korea where it’s the highest grossing film so far this year and according to The Numbers has grossed $17.9 million. It has also remained no. 1 leading the box office in the UK and Ireland reaching

Mickey 17 has remained no 1 in UK/Ireland, with Screen Daily reporting “‘Mickey 17’ retains UK-Ireland box office lead, reaching $5,800,000.

According to The Numbers, the current international total is $57.2 million and the current worldwide cumulative box office is $90,412,062.

This rumour has been floating around for a few years now. But according to Jordan Ruimy | World of Reel, this is the first time a director has been attached:

“Here’s a production grid that’s starting to make the rounds. Robert Pattinson has been attached to star in an “Altered States” remake since 2022, but this is the first I hear of a director being part of the project.

The talented Trey Edward Shults is now attached to direct “Altered States” with Pattinson playing the lead role. Warner Bros is producing the project. No further casting has been mentioned at this time.

…

I’m not sure if Pattinson will have time to shoot Shults’ remake this year. He’s currently in production on A24’s “Primetime,” and is set to join Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” next month. He’s also going to be promoting two films this year (“Die, My Love,” “The Drama”) and that’s not even counting whether he actually shoots “The Batman 2” in the fall.”

In the meantime, I can confirm there is nothing “in development” on Trey Edward Shults IMDbPro page, but as we all know that’s not gospel and can be updated last minute (looking at you Primetime!).

I will update this post as more news comes to light.

JoBlo.com’s “WTF Happened to Robert Pattinson” looks back at how Rob went from Twilight to Mickey 17. Below is an excerpt of the print article:

“While caught in the Twilight saga, he could still express himself artistically with smaller projects, allowing him to play around more and make art. He literally played a character named Art in the film How To Be, soon after the first Twilight film. And that same year, he played one of the greatest, most eccentric artists of all time, Salvador Dali, in Little Ashes. He squeezed out a mustache and performed real sex acts on himself in a desperate display to show everyone that he was a serious actor, and because of that, we had to believe him. Gross. Along with the titles Remember Me, Love And Distrust, and the romantic drama Water For Elephants in 2011. Remember, this was all done in between his Twilight shooting schedule. This young man had conquered Hollywood as a movie star, so he had nothing to do but prove himself as an actor and artist. Many actors often join prestigious period pieces and work with auteur filmmakers to build their arthouse street credentials. Robert Pattinson did just that with Bel Ami and David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis. Both were made in 2012, the same year he finally finished with his dreaded franchise of fangs and broke away after Breaking Dawn – Part 2.

Sam Woodhams reflected on working on Mickey 17 on his IG:

I had the time of my life doubling for Robert Pattinson as he brought to life multiple Mickeys. What an honour to stand opposite, and to have the task of throwing some acting at him to work with! It’s just as well my job was to watch and study Rob closely, as I was absolutely mesmerised from day one.

Rita Ora during an episode of The Masked Singer confirmed what Taika said back in 2022, that Robert Pattinson introduced them. From EW:

“When Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg pieces together a vampire bat clue that makes her think of Twilight and guesses The Batman star Robert Pattinson, Ora is quick to jump in.

“He’s a very good friend of mine. He actually introduced me to my husband, [Taika Waititi],” she tells the other panelists of Pattinson. An incredulous Ken Jeong then asks her if Griffin introduced her to Waititi.

She goes along with it and jokes, “Griffin introduced me to my husband,” before admitting that she really doesn’t think the singer is him because, “Rob is really shy.” Though she does admit “all the clues match, and you are the queen of clues [McCarthy-Wahlberg], so, who knows, right? Who knows.”
