"Parasite" filmmaker Bong Joon Ho's original science fiction film "Mickey 17" opened in first place on the North American box office charts. 

According to studio estimates Sunday, the Robert Pattinson-led film earned $19.1 million in its first weekend in theaters. 

Worldwide it's earned a total of $53.3 million. 

But profitability for the "Mickey 17" is a long way off: It cost a reported $118 million to produce. 

Second place went to "Captain America: Brave New World," which added $8.5 million in its fourth weekend.

"Last Breath," "The Monkey" and "Paddington in Peru" rounded out the top five.
