It seems the Universal's Dark Universe will be the gift that keeps on giving thanks to China.
Remember that critical success is secondary for blockbusters, money is what matters and that if a movie fails in north America doesn't mean it's a flop ask Bayformers
>The Tom Cruise-headlined The Mummy has topped the global box office for the second weekend in a row, pushing the action/horror movie reboot towards a $300 million worldwide take, to date. Only a fraction of The Mummy‘s box office gross has come from its U.S. theatrical run (some $56.5 million, after the movie’s second weekend), but that’s par for the course for Cruise-led blockbusters nowadays. Moreover, The Mummy‘s strong worldwide performance should help to ensure that it avoids becoming either the sole entry in Universal’s Dark Universe franchise or another failed monster film universe launchpad for the studio (like 2014’s Dracula Untold).
>Director Alex Kurtzman’s tentpole also continues to perform well overseas despite the bad buzz that surrounds The Mummy in general, in turn further solidifying the argument that the Dark Universe doesn’t “need” the U.S. to succeed, from a commercial perspective. That being said, The Mummy is also benefiting from timing – as the Cruise-led vehicle was smartly positioned to hit theaters around the globe a week after Wonder Woman began its own lucrative worldwide run, giving it some breathing room apart from the DC Extended Universe blockbuster (and other summer blockbusters that will be arriving very soon).Brendanfags BTFO

Regardless of it's success the mummy was just a disappointment desu
Godzilla was good, Kong was great and I was expecting The Mummy to at least be as good as Kong.

And Transformers will kill it next week. This is Terminator Genisys all over again
I watched it today and it wasn't as bad as I heard. It wasn't perfect, but it was good. It had all the ingredients for a shared movie universe to succeed.

What in the fuck is "Universal's Dark Universe"?
I only went to see it for Sophia, but the movie wasn't that bad. The sidekick ghost was very cringe though and the movie would have been much better without it.
