 The Mummy predictions ... I guess we don't have a thread on this yet?
Universal seems set on making this Dark Universe, how do you guys think this will do?
I'd be surprised if this does 150m+ domestic but maybe it's another leggy Tom Cruise film?

Re: The Mummy predictions I thought we did have a thread for this. This could be leggy but I think it looks VERY bad so it will open less and end up just above $100m total. The last one managed $40m because Fraser was returning but I think this will be the first of the franchise that will fall below that mark.

Re: The Mummy predictions It'll pass $100m.

Re: The Mummy predictions I'm really not surprised about the lack of enthusiasm here, because the trailers haven't done anything for me either, but I do have a hard time seeing this completely flopping. The budget is reportedly only $125M so it should at least break even WW, but I'm very skeptical about this whole Dark Universe and have been from the beginning. Granted I love the amount of talent involved, but I just don't see general audiences caring that much even if this movie ends up being decent.
Anyways, I'll say 45/130

Re: The Mummy predictions Has a lot of time to itself. I can see it surprising like World War Z. I think it looks like a lot of fun amidst all the shitty sequels. And I'm not expecting WW to be much of a factor even in it's second weekend.
58/ 160 close.

Re: The Mummy predictions I'm gonna go with 43/122. I hope it does better though, I wouldn't mind if this universe ends up being a success. (... unless I don't like this film lol)

Re: The Mummy predictions Polling poorly with a few write-ins about Cruise getting on people's nerves. Sizable marketing push and June release will avert an epic fail.

This is another Mummy movie tied to monster movies. Not exactly fresh !!!! its another cruise vehicle which will make middling numbers 38/100.

Re: The Mummy predictions As for Mummy... I think it will do well. It looks good. Cruise is mostly a draw.
Probably around $40 mil OW, $110 mil Total. Which, imo, is fine enough.

Re: The Mummy predictions The trailer in front of Covenant was really bad IMHO. I could easily see this pull The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor numbers. So $40m/$100m.

Re: The Mummy predictions I think that The Mummy breaks out only if the reviews are decent. Mummies aren't as popular as Zombies were in 2013 so I don't really buy the World War Z comparison. It can't be ignored that Tom Cruise's only recent hundred million domestic grosser outside of Mission Impossible was the underperforming Edge of Tomorrow which barely hit that number. I do have the movie over a hundred because I think it will open decently enough.

Re: The Mummy predictions This looks generic as hell but there is good enough audience for this kind of action movies. Isn't this 4th Mummy movie as well?

Re: The Mummy predictions Well I was referring to BK's comment about direct sequels/reboots and how Mummy looks fresh and original because of that. But yeah there has been quite a few Mummy movies around as well.

Re: The Mummy predictions It won't set the world on fire, but it will do well. Well enough to be a modest success in the grand scheme of Cruise's career and let Universal play around with their "Dark Universe" branding fantasies for a while.

Re: The Mummy predictions This smells like a big fat bomb. Tom Cruise has flopped before, even with action movies (remember Knight & Day?). Sub $30m OW is possible.
