HOLLYWOOD - “Mickey 17,” a dystopian sci-fi comedy starring a dozen Robert Pattinsons, is No. 1 at the domestic box office.

Variety notes the Warner Bros. film cost $118 million, a staggering price for an original, offbeat space odyssey.

“Mickey 17” is director Bong Joon Ho’s follow-up to “Parasite,” a pitch black comedy that became the first foreign language film to ever win the Oscar for best picture.

Another film newcomer, the underdog drama “Rule Breakers” misfired with $1 million from 2,044 theaters. It’s a feel-good film about Afghanistan’s first competitive robotics team.

Year-to-date revenues are 1% above the same point in 2024 and 34% behind 2019, according to Comscore.
