‘Mickey 17’ Mints $2.5M In Thursday Previews – Box Office

Warner Bros and Plan B Entertainment’s Mickey 17 did $2.5M in previews last night at 3,200 locations.
Showtimes began at 3PM for the Bong Joon Ho directed and adapted movie.
Tracking has the pic hoping to do around $20M. The global outlook was we told you is around $45M. It’s an expensive movie given that it’s original sci-fi with an initial greenlight of $118M before P&A.
How that stacks up to other sci-fi movies: It’s above the $1.45M previews made by Denis Villeneuve’s Arrival back in November 2016 which went on to open to $24M. Yet, it’s below the $3.5M made by Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049 which went on to a $32.7M opening.
