Why did they think it was a good idea?

>the worst mummy movie made the most money

My favorite part is "Nobody wanted to see Tom Cruise in this movie."

The Scorpion King was pretty great.

so will we get a real mummy sequel with Brenden?

>>83742704
This

Better hope they shoehorned enough Asians into it. Only China can save them now.

>>83742654
it's not even that, people like cruise. but literally no one wanted a generic mummy reboot

Brendan made that role and turned the franchise into basically a future cult classic. if he isn't in it why bother?
imagine if they did another sequel with brendan and brought back rachel weisz, john hannah and even the bald guy who played imhotep it would be massive and everyone would go see it. but nah we get this shit nobody asked for instead.

this could have been brendan's big break and got him back in the game. but no they had to fuck his shit up just one last time.

oops

Was there ever any doubt though? This is one of those movies that you could just tell was going to bomb and be easily forgettable, just like Baywatch. It blows my mind how some people see those trailers and it actually gets them interested in seeing the movie.

>>83742597
Selling a bad movie with the name of the excellent first movie is a trick you can only do once. And it only worked once judging by those box office returns.

I know we all wanted Brendan but wasn't that the point of the last Mummy movie? He's older, he mentors the young hero and yadda yadda.

How would another movie with Brendan even work?

>>83743956
Not those guys again...

BRING BRENDAN BACK.

This new Mummy movie will make 300m worldwide. Domestic box office means fucking NOTHING anymore.

I honestly like the idea of sexy female mummy but goddamn did they hire Hack Snyder to do the color scheme for the movie? Why is everything grey and blue?

>>83743956
This is the biggest reason for all these shitty reboots. Those fucking zerglings deserve a nuclear holocaust.

I thought the Chinese Government hated ghosts and supernatural stuff?

>>83746051
Well they just can't show bones, and I guess they're all wrapped up

I legitimately don't even understand how chink movie regulations work.

But The Mummy is fucking supernatural, are they retarded?

>pay more money to the chinese censors
>movie gets shown
That's how it works

>>83746051
Only when it's an excuse needed for a movie like Ghostbusters.

>>83746385
Not if they censor out the super natural stuff. You're forgetting that in some movies they film multiple scenes, one for the USA, one for China, or just cut them from the film entirely. The only times it's not possible is if it's an integral part of the film like Ghostbusters 2016.

The Mummy 2017 could easily have their supernatural stuff cut or had entire different scenes explaining the mummy's origin and powers and just be an action movie.

>>83743956

Why do people keep pretending the Chinese box office means shit for a movies success? They aren't seeing a fraction of that money.

BRING
HIM
BACK

>>83742932
The reboot isn't of Brendan version

>>83746479
25% from a 100 million is still more money than 100% of 0 dollars.

Should have had Fraser bust in at last second and save the day. Would have gotten a standing ovation from me.

They didn't even have Brendan at least appear as a cameo. What's up with that big fuck you from Universal?

I would have been more interested if it was more of a horror movie. I really wish Universal would figure out how to handle these reboots they keep trying to do.

>>83746537
doesn't matter "the mummy" name is universally linked with the brendan films.

15%, but it's still money

>>83747026

Only if your age is inbetween 25 to 40

Older than that and you remember the originals, younger than that and you don't care about that "lol" old movie.

>>83747065
It's the chinks right?

>>83747114
Yes.

Not even memeing, The Mummy is one of my favorite movies and this looks like hot garbage.

It's gonna need to make more overseas than $177M.
