More about the film
According to early estimates, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy is tracking to earn between $15 million and $20 million on its opening weekend at the domestic box office. Since the early reviews are also positive, it might win over the audience and exceed this projected range. With a strong opening weekend, the film will have a good head start. Hitting $150 million might not be challenging, and since it has a separate target audience, The Mummy might not be harmed by the presence of the other movies.
Lee Cronin’s The Mummy follows a journalist whose young daughter mysteriously disappears in the desert and is presumed lost forever. Eight years later, her sudden return stuns the fractured family, but what begins as a long-awaited reunion soon spirals into a terrifying nightmare.
