Mickey 17 was released by WB in North American theaters on March 7, 2025 and after a tepid opening weekend box office haul, the studio quickly announced that the film would be coming to streaming and VOD on Tuesday, March 25, 2025; just 18 days after its theatrical release.

However, if you look on various VOD platforms today, the film is only available for pre-order.  It seems that the film's VOD release date has been changed at the last moment and that the decision was made at the very last moment.

Reports on social media state that the film was available for purchase on a few VOD platforms on March 25 at midnight before those platforms quickly changed the title to a pre-order status.

Now, via whentostream.com, it's being reported that Mickey 17 will arrive on digital OnDemand in just a few more days, on  April 8th, 2025. As of this date, Mickey 17 is still playing in local cinemas in the US and has ample showtimes.

Currently, the film has grossed $121 million worldwide, from an estimated production budget of $118 million.

The film is based on the critically acclaimed novel Mickey 7, written by Edward Ashton. Bong Joon-ho explained at last year's CinemaCon that the title of the film was changed to Mickey 17 because in his film adaptation, he kills the titular character ten more times.

Although Pattinson portrays a number of clones in the movie, Mickey 17 and Mickey 18 are the two primary variants. Despite having the same genetic makeup, the two clones have distinct personalities.

With Mickey 18, Pattinson said the character is like "playing an evil brother" who is "out of control," while Mickey 17, he claims, is battered down by life but is delighted to be a part of a team.

In addition to Robert Pattinson and Steven Yeun, the film also stars Naomi Ackie, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo.

Previously, Pattinson teased that filming was, "like nothing I’ve ever done before. The movie is so crazy, it’s a completely different style of working. It’s so much talking."
