wombat Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 The Mummy Couldn't find a thread already started. Saw it tonight. Wasn't my choice. I didn't like it. Very odd story line. Didn't flow at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 We have it in the Universal Monsters Franchise thread because, unfortunately, the feeling was it didn't even deserve a dedicated thread. But I agree. The -script story is a huge problem. Too much focus on ramming the larger universe into the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Since the cursed movie received a cursed thread. Report says The Mummy could lose as much as $95 million Quote Deadline has gathered from several financial sources that the Tom Cruise-led action movie could lose as much as $95 million after all is said and done, with their estimated final global tally hitting somewhere around $375 million. Though that’s no chump change to us normal folk, the movies estimated budget falls around the $350 million range, with a combined $190 million production budget and a $150 million global promotion cost. The movie has been severely hurt by bad buzz, which hasn’t always spelled doom for movies, such as the TRANSFORMERS films or last year’s BATMAN V. SUPERMAN. But in a summer crowded with so many tentpole films (including the beloved WONDER WOMAN) audiences are flaking on the franchise starter, with competition growing each week. Normally movies like this hope to gain from overseas box office numbers, and the movie's current global haul is $293 million, but this week alone sees the release of TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT, a franchise with tremendous global appeal. No doubt its release will harshly cut into MUMMY’s numbers, as will next week’s DESPICABLE ME 3, another franchise entry that’s sure to take advantage of deep overseas roots. From there it gets worse with SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING kicking off July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought worldwide box office would have save it. Here is hoping the Johnny Depp Invisible Man fairs better. .

Bosco685 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 ‘The Mummy’ Reaches $400 Million Worldwide Thanks to China’s Box Office Quote The Mummy was a massive flop when it opened stateside earlier this summer. The film, which had a reported budget of $125 million, opened to bad reviews and an underwhelming $31 million as it limped to a domestic take of $80 million. Normally, for a film that’s supposed to spawn a franchise, in this case Universal’s Dark Universe, that would be curtains even with Bride of Frankenstein set for February 2019. But international box office matters more than ever, and that’s what’s going to save the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
