The movie industry has been dealing with some challenges lately, with several films struggling to find success in theaters. However, for audiences who prefer to watch movies from the comfort of their own homes, there is some good news. Mickey 17, a new sci-fi comedy directed by Oscar-winner bong joon-ho, is set to hit digital platforms just one month after its theatrical release. Mickey 17 is written and directed by Bong Joon-ho, who took home the Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay for 2019’s Parasite. The movie stars Robert Pattinson as Mickey, a “clone” or expendable duplicate of himself who is sent on dangerous and deadly jobs where his life is almost expected to be lost. But on Mickey’s 17th iteration of life, something unexpected happens, and he begins to question his own mortality and humanity. Mickey 17 is a wacky, weird, and witty film that has earned over $122 million at the worldwide box office. Despite the negative tone of the trades, this is actually a good sign for the movie’s box office performance. The movie will be available to buy or rent on digital platforms on Tuesday, April 8 at 12 a.m. Eastern Time, which is also 9 p.m. Pacific Time on Monday, April 7. You can purchase the film on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Fandango At Home, and more. The price may vary depending on the platform you use to buy the film. Here are some details about where to watch Mickey 17:
- Amazon Prime: $24.99 to buy, $19.99 to rent
- Apple TV: pricing may vary
- Fandango At Home: Pricing may vary
- Google Play Movies & TV: Pricing may vary
Mickey 17 is not yet available on a subscription-based streaming service, but we expect to see the movie streaming on Max eventually. This is because Mickey 17 is a Warner Bros. movie, and Max is the streamer owned by Warner Bros.. When will Mickey 17 be streaming on Max? While the exact release date has not been announced yet, we can make an educated guess based on previous releases. For example, Joker: Folie à Deux was released on PVOD three-and-a-half weeks after opening in theaters, and began streaming on Max on December 13, a little over two months after it was released in theaters. If Mickey 17 follows a similar release pattern, we may see the movie streaming on Max around early or mid-May 2025. However, this is just a guess, and the actual release date may vary. In conclusion, Mickey 17 is a fun and entertaining movie that is sure to delight audiences. With its unique premise and witty humor, it’s a must-see for fans of sci-fi and comedy. So, mark your calendars for April 8, and get ready to watch Mickey 17 on your favorite digital platform!
