Wonder Woman buries The Mummy at US box office

Jenny did get better as the movie progressed but she wasn't much of character to begin with.

Fraser sounds slightly bittersweet when he talks about the new movie though he supported the new project.

"...Director Alex Kurtzman's "Mummy" movie starring Tom Cruise is awful - more calamitous and grating than any of the 1999-2008 "Mummy" outings by a wide margin". "It's not about which one went first".

That Tom is Tom Cruise, of course.

Almost every major studio has at least a scrap of that coveted intellectual property too; Disney has the Marvel Cinematic Universe (and Star Wars), Warner Bros. has the DC Extended Universe, Sony has Spider-Man and Fox has X-Men, but Universal Pictures has remained ardently outside of the comic book squall. The fifth Transformers movie is the next action tentpole and arrives on June 21 but the lucrative Fourth of July holiday period will have enough room for Diana to carve out a nice slice of the pie.

The Mummy is a Tom Cruise film.

'A star is born!' - The moment Ostapenko clinches French Open title
Ostapenko was too charitable with her unforced errors, striking 23. - Venus said after winning his first grand slam title. Prediction: A quarter-final appearance for Ostapenko, who takes out at least one top contender along the way.

"It's a constant back and forth, a constant partnership", Kurtzman said. It's as if the writers and the director were so focused on making these unbelievable set pieces and action sequences that they forgot to create moments that show us what motivates these people and who they are really. "He likes to take input and try different things and experiment".

But while American audiences have become less likely to rush out to his films, "The Mummy" indicated that he, and big-budget action-adventure films in general, remain particularly popular in East Asia. But Kurtzman also felt the movie needed to work as a stand alone, too. Then, he used a plot device from the Karloff movie, that the Mummy has the power to control people's minds, to develop a flawed hero. I haven't had this little fun at an SSM (Stupid Summer Movie) in several summers...

Tom Cruise plays Nick Morton, who appears to be a part of the army but he somehow manages to deal in treasure hunting and that's how he finds himself in a tomb of an ancient Egyptian princess that has been written out of history because of her connection to the Egyptian god of death, Set.

Even though "The Mummy" has one of the biggest movie stars in the world with Cruise, it was plagued with bad reviews.

"I think that variety is going to be our good friend when it comes to the evolution of Dark Universe". Neither Tom Cruise nor Russell Crowe can charm his way out of this clunker. "Beauty and the Beast" director Bill Condon is set to helm "Bride of Frankenstein". Directed by Espen Sandberg and Joachim Rønning, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales stars Johnny Depp, Javier Bardem, Brenton Thwaites, Kevin R. McNally, Kaya Scodelario, Golshifteh Farahani, Stephen Graham, David Wenham and Geoffrey Rush. "Would I love them to love it?" That's where the collective of talent being brought on comes in handy.

In a statement to THR, a Universal exec said the film's rotten reviews didn't help.
