While Universal's The Mummy, was an unfortunate disappointment at the domestic box office, grossing just over $80.1 million in the States, internationally - where Tom Cruise's star power reigns supreme - the Dark Universe launching pad fared considerably better. As per Box Office Mojo, the Cruise-led vehicle powered its way to over $327.67 million this summer from foreign territories ($91.7 million from China alone), bringing its final box office haul to over $407.7 million worldwide - a considerably better outcome than what was initially expected.

Now, while the Alex Kurtzman-helmed film is still likely to lose money, it's now expected to be significantly less than the $95M that was estimated back in June and with strong home video & Digital HD sales, it should actually be considerably less than $50M - it might even make a profit - which would certainly bode well for any potential sequel as well as for the future of the Dark Universe.

The Mummy made its way to Digital HD late last month and will finally arrive on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD this coming Tuesday. To get you excited for the release, Universal Pictures Home Entertainment has released a ton of cool new bonus content, including deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes featurettes, and a handful of clips.

One of those featurettes is titled "In Search of a Soul". You could kinda say the same thing about the movie itself.

Fanmar16 - 9/9/2017, 4:11 PM

too much for a really bad movie

KWilly - 9/9/2017, 4:15 PM

Oh... This movie happened?

Menks123 - 9/9/2017, 4:16 PM

Very surprising it made that much. Usually is a pretty good take, but when you have a huge universe to set up, it seems so little.

I was very excited for this because i'm a big Cruise fan and love the idea of a monster universe, but god damn was I disappointed in this. Cruise was pretty good, but just couldn't make this dull/mediocre movie entertaining. A few good parts and SFX here and there, but just disappointing. The first 2 Brendan Fraser Mummy films were much better than this. Still hold up as well.

I didn't hate it like most people do. As a launcher for the "dark universe", it could have been much better, but I see great possibilities in what they're doing.

MultiMedia996 - 9/9/2017, 4:45 PM

@ImmovableForce - Great possibilities are not enough! I kind of hate the mentality of "Well the next entry could be better or they could make great things". You need to make a good first impression so people will stay and know they'll make something just as good if not better.

Forthas - 9/9/2017, 4:22 PM

I am surprised it got that high. International markets have really changed the game!

MultiMedia996 - 9/9/2017, 5:22 PM

@Forthas - Changed it for the worse.

Forthas - 9/9/2017, 6:23 PM

@MultiMedia996 - Why????

MultiMedia996 - 9/9/2017, 6:39 PM

@Forthas - It's changed it for the worse because now studios need to make the films more accessible to a foreign audience. As in dumbing the stories down or making things too simple. It's why something like the last two Transformers have done better in say China then hear in the US where at least The Last Knight bombed here (Though as a whole the movie has made far less then the last four before it worldwide which is a good thing). Mike and Jay explain why this movie was made to cater to foreign audiences in their Half in the Bag episode on it.

Forthas - 9/9/2017, 7:09 PM

@MultiMedia996 - But isn't the opposite kind of true. I have heard it said that European films have a hard time finding an American audience even though they are good films. Two such examples are the "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Let The Right One In. Both were very good films but American film producers felt it necessary to "Americanize" the films even though it did not really make the films any better.

NotoriousWolf23 - 9/9/2017, 4:25 PM

Dunkirk made 480 mill on a 100 mill budget.

TheUnworthyThor - 9/9/2017, 4:43 PM

@NotoriousWulf23 - Even so I doubt they'll greenlight the sequel.

NoMeaning45 - 9/9/2017, 4:53 PM

@NotoriousWulf23 - Yeah, that's a success.

The mummy's budget was between 125-195 mil.

NoMeaning45 - 9/9/2017, 4:54 PM

Plus Dunkirk is still in theaters.

Menks123 - 9/9/2017, 4:26 PM

On a 125mil budget, this is an easy success though. So I doubt they scrap the universe like they did after Dracula Untold, which was a far better movie and intro.

*Hopefully* they learn from this and put out a better product.

CopperCrow - 9/9/2017, 4:33 PM

it was a long and harrowing journey, but I finally made my way to the comment section... For a moment there, I thought the YouTube clips would go on forever.

DeadClunge - 9/9/2017, 4:35 PM

@CopperCrow - i lost a few good men getting here.....smh

DeadClunge - 9/9/2017, 4:35 PM

Cant they just reinclude Dracula untold? Because this was a weak start to the dark universe.

MrDandy - 9/9/2017, 4:37 PM

Deserves every penny. Wait...no...I'm thinking of the Spider-Man Homecoming article.

TheUnworthyThor - 9/9/2017, 4:41 PM

Cool. Now next time make a much better movie.
