    Subscribers on HBO Max are flocking to one of 2025’s box office bombs as the film unexpectedly tops the streaming service’s charts. Of course, it’s not surprising that this 2025 effort is doing so well on HBO Max following its theatrical release, especially when one considers that it comes from an acclaimed director.

    As noted via FlixPatrol, at the time of this writing, this film is the #2 title on the streaming platform. It’s quite a feat for a movie that struggled at the box office, having earned just barely more than its budget at the box office, grossing $132 million against a $118 million production cost.

    Impressively, the title stars Robert Pattinson as the lead, with Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo. Bong Joon Ho both wrote and directed the film which was based on a novel by Edward Ashton. It seems as though the talent from everyone involved has given this title legs beyond its theatrical release.

    This 2025 film now streaming on HBO Max is none other than Mickey 17, a sci-fi film set in the year 2054. It revolves around Pattinson’s character who joins a space colony. His official title is that of an “Expendable,” which is an individual that happens to be cloned upon death. While a majority of their memories are retained, they quickly become diluted with each additional copy.

    It’s an interesting endeavor from Bong Joon Ho, and one that probably should have fared better at the box office. Fortunately, it looks like it has been earning viewers with its newfound availability on HBO Max and home video.

    Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding the latest trending titles on HBO Max as we have them. For now, subscribers are able to see Mickey 17 for themselves, and see whether or not the title was deserving of a better box office performance. Especially now that it appears to be doing quite well on streaming.
