The movie ‘Mickey 17’ has surpassed 1 million viewers in just 4 days since its release.

The movie ‘Mickey 17’ depicts an unpredictable story about ‘Mickey’, an expendable item (Expendable) that is used for dangerous work and is reprinted when he dies, when ‘Mickey 18’ is printed while he is going through his 17th near-death crisis, believing him to be dead. It has surpassed 1 million viewers in just 4 days since its release.

According to the Integrated Computer Network of the Korean Film Council, ‘Mickey 17’ recorded a cumulative audience of 1,117,586 as of 6:55 a.m. on Monday, March 3, surpassing 1 million viewers in just 4 days since its release, signaling the start of an overwhelming box office success.

‘Mickey 17’, which garnered a hot response as soon as it was released, proved its explosive topicality by firmly maintaining its position as the number one box office throughout the Independence Movement Day holiday. ‘Mickey 17’, which surpassed 1 million viewers in 4 days, is a record comparable to ‘Inside Out 2’, the highest-grossing foreign film of 2024, ‘Top Gun: Maverick’, which mobilized over 8 million viewers and recorded a long-term box office success, and ‘Smuggler’, which led the box office in the summer of 2023, so expectations are high for the future box office success of ‘Mickey 17’.

The record of ‘ Mickey 17’, which surpassed 1 million viewers faster than director Christopher Nolan‘s ‘Oppenheimer’, clearly shows that director Bong Joon-ho’s new world and message have completely captured the hearts of domestic audiences this time as well.

Meanwhile, director Bong Joon-ho‘s new film ‘Mickey 17’, which has been continuing its overwhelming box office success by surpassing 1 million viewers in just 4 days since its release, is currently showing in theaters nationwide.
