Mickey 17 saw a decent debut this week despite some strong competition.
Strong Debut For Mickey 17
Mickey 17 had a strong debut this weekend, securing the top spot at the box office with $19.1 million. However, the film’s performance was far from immune to the pressures of an increasingly crowded market. While the movie’s opening was impressive, its future trajectory remains uncertain as it faces formidable competition from other blockbusters and mid-range films.
Captain America: Brave New World struggles in second after holding the top spot for the last two weekends, Captain America: Brave New World experienced a significant dip in its third weekend, grossing $8.5 million. This marks a steep decline of 42.8% from the previous week, suggesting that the film’s momentum is slowing. While it’s still managing to retain some audience interest, the drop raises questions about the film’s long-term appeal, especially with mixed critical reception and competition heating up in the coming weeks.
The Rest of the Box Office
Strong holdovers and new entrants In third place, the suspenseful thriller Last Breath performed solidly with $4.2 million in its second weekend. Despite a sharp 49.4% decline from its opening, the film continues to resonate with audiences seeking a tense, character-driven narrative. Positive word of mouth could keep Last Breath in the mix for a few more weeks, though its limited genre appeal may hinder its overall earnings.
The Monkey, holding onto fourth place, brought in $3.9 million, an 18.2% drop from last weekend. Though not a major player in the rankings, the film is still managing to draw in a niche audience.
Paddington in Peru remained in fifth place, pulling in $3.9 million, which reflects a modest 12.8% decline from the previous week. While the drop is small, the film’s box office performance is slowing down as family-friendly options grow more competitive with the new releases.
Looking Ahead
Next week, the box office landscape will see another shift with Novocaine hitting theaters. Novocaine is expected to bring in $8 to $13 million. While it’s getting promoted relatively well, I see it making around $9 million and placing second.
As always, we’ll find out next week.
