Mickey 17 debuted in Korea last weekend to $9M, kicking off on a non-traditional Friday to set the stage for its global rollout. The start was the best for a Warner Bros movie since 2019, as well as Pattinson’s top Korea launch ever.

Bong is known for acclaimed films like “Snowpiercer,” “The Host,” “Okja” and “Barking Dogs Never Bite.” “Mickey 17” marks the director’s first film since 2019’s “Parasite,” which became the first non-English language movie to win best picture at the Oscars as well as the highest-grossing South Korean film in history.
