Mickey is so fine it blew the box office’s mind.
“Mickey 17” landed in first place on its Friday debut with ticket sales of $7.7 million, according to The Numbers.
The black comedy sci-fi flick, which The Post called “a letdown,” stars Robert Pattinson in the title role, alongside Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette and Mark Ruffalo.
The film, which reportedly cost $118 million to make, is based on the 2022 novel “Mickey7” by Edward Ashton, and centers around a dystopian society that creates cloned expendable humans.
It has already taken the title of best debut for a non-franchise movie this year, and could enjoy an up-to-$20-million-dollar opening weekend, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
In the second spot was “Captain America: Brave New World,” which fell down a notch from last Friday.
The Marvel superhero movie, which stars Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford, took in $2.1 million on its fourth Friday in theaters.
“Last Breath” came in third, with a $1.16 million-dollar take on its second week in theaters.
Remaining in fourth place was “Paddington in Peru,” with $900,000 in revenue.
“Dog Man” stayed in fifth, fetching $750,000.
