Well, that was fast. Mickey 17, Bong Joon-ho’s much-hyped sci-fi thriller starring Robert Pattinson, is reportedly hitting digital just 18 days after its theatrical release. And let’s be real—it’s not because the studio planned it this way. It’s because the movie bombed at the box office.
The film opened in theaters on March 7, 2025, but barely made a dent. Instead of sticking around for the usual 45-day theatrical run, Warner Bros. is rushing it to digital on March 25—a clear sign they’re cutting their losses.
So, what went wrong? Maybe the marketing didn’t click. Maybe the premise wasn’t as exciting as it sounded on paper. Or maybe audiences just weren’t in the mood for another mind-bending sci-fi epic. Whatever the reason, the numbers don’t lie—this one’s a flop.
Warner Bros. hasn’t officially confirmed the early digital release, but at this point, it’s practically an open secret. When a big-budget film leaves theaters this quickly, it’s because people just weren’t showing up.
The upside? If you were planning to watch Mickey 17 at home anyway, you won’t have to wait long. But for the studio, this one stings. But you must wait for the official confirmation as Binged will tell you the official digital release date of the film.
