Directed by Bong Joon Ho, Mickey 17 made a respectable debut in the U.S. and Canada, grossing USD 19.1 million over its first weekend. The film, starring Robert Pattinson in the titular role, is based on Edward Ashton’s novel Mickey 7 and follows a financially struggling man who voluntarily signs up as an expendable.

Captain America: Brave New World added to its domestic total

Marvel Studios’ latest outing added another USD 8.5 million to its domestic tally. The film, led by Anthony Mackie, sees his character taking on the mantle of the titular superhero from Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers following the events of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. As the new Captain America, Wilson grapples with the challenge of defending the shield’s legacy while navigating global threats and political intrigue. Julius Onah helms the project, which also co-stars Harrison Ford, Danny Ramirez, Shira Haas, Tim Blake Nelson, and Liv Tyler.

While the film has received mixed reactions from critics and audiences, its box office run continues.

Last Breath held steady with a solid weekend
