Mickey 17 is releasing on digital platforms, one month after the movie opened in theaters. That’s not great news for the state of the movie industry, but it is good news for audiences who want to watch the new sci-fi comedy from Oscar-winner Bong Joon-ho from the comfort of their couch.
Written and directed by Bong Joon-ho—who took home the Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay for 2019’s Parasite—Mickey 17 stars Robert Pattinson as an “expendable” clone named Mickey. Mickey gets sent on dangerous, deadly jobs where he’s all but expected to die. Once he bites it, no big deal—they just print out another clone! But on Mickey’s 17th iteration of life, something goes wrong. Mickey finds himself facing his own mortality and humanity like never before.
Also starring Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo, Mickey 17 is wacky, weird, and witty. It’s earned over $122 million at the worldwide box office , which, despite the tone of the trades, is actually not that bad! Now the studio hopes to earn even more money with the premium digital release. Read on to learn how to watch the Mickey 17 movie online, and when we expect to see Mickey 17 streaming on Max.
Mickey 17 will be available to buy or rent on digital platforms on Tuesday, April 8 at 12 a.m. Eastern Time (which is also 9 p.m. Pacific Time on Monday, April 7). You’ll be able to buy and rent digitally on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Fandango At Home, and more. The price may vary depending on which platform you use to purchase the film, but on Amazon Prime the movie will cost $24.99 to buy, and $19.99 to rent. If you rent the movie, you’ll have 48 hours to view after hitting “play.”
Mickey 17 is not yet available on a subscription-based streaming service, but we do expect to see Mickey 17 streaming on Max eventually, because Mickey 17 is a Warner Bros. movie, and Max is the streamer owned by Warner Bros.
The Mickey 17 Max streaming release date on has not yet been announced yet, but we can make an educated guess based on previous releases. Joker: Folie à Deux, for example, was released on PVOD three-and-a-half weeks after opening in theaters, and began streaming on Max on December 13, a little over two months after it was released in theaters. If Mickey 17 follows a similar release pattern, you may see the movie streaming on Max around early or mid-May 2025.
But that’s pure speculation. The Warner Bros. home releases have varied by title. In the meantime, you can always catch Mickey 17 by buying or renting the movie online.
