The Mummy premiered at the State Theatre in Sydney, Australia, on May 22, 2017, and was theatrically released in the United States on June 9, 2017, in 2D, 3D, and IMAX 3D.[7] The film received generally negative reviews from critics and despite grossing $410 million worldwide, it was estimated to have lost the studio as much as $95 million. Initially intended to kickstart Dark Universe, an attempt to create a modern cinematic universe based on the classic Universal Monsters film series, the film's poor box office performance led to the discontinuation and cancelation of the Dark Universe.[8][9][10]

Plot

In 1127, Crusaders capture a ruby from Egypt and bury it in one of their graves. In 2017 the tomb is discovered. In ancient Egypt, Ahmanet, the first woman in the line of succession to the throne of her father, Pharaoh Menehptre was stripped of her birthright. Determined to reclaim the throne, Ahmanet sells her soul to Set, who gives her a dagger to transfer her spirit into bodily form. After murdering her family, Ahmanet attempts to sacrifice her lover to give a physical form to the god Seth, but her father's priests discover her and kill her lover. Ahmanet is mummified alive and sealed inside a sarcophagus, and buried in a prison of mercury.

In 2017 Iraq, mercenaries, Nick Morton and Chris Vail discover Ahmanet's grave. Jenny Halsey, an archaeologist arrives and investigates the tomb. Colonel Greenway, Nick and Vail's superior, forces them to accompany Jenny to the grave. Vail receives an alert that an enemy group is approaching and urges Jenny to get out of the grave. Jenny refuses, but Nick shoots a mechanism to extract it. When he leaves, camel spiders come out and bite Vail, causing him to shoot them. Nick has a vision of Princess Ahmanet. Jenny wakes Nick from the vision and forces Colonel Greenway to carry the sarcophagus to London.

On the flight, Nick dreams of Ahmanet. He wakes up and sees that Vail was possessed by Ahmanet's spider bite, and tries to open the sarcophagus. Greenway orders him to stop and Vail stabs him. Jenny, and the rest of the soldiers attempt to open fire on the corporal, but Nick snatches a gun and threatens to kill them if they harm Vail. The possessed Vail tries to kill Nick and Jenny, so Nick shoots him dead. The plane is attacked by crows, causing the plane to crash, killing everyone on board except Jenny.

Three days later, Nick wakes up in a morgue and discovers Vail, now in ghost form who warns him that he has been cursed by Ahmanet, who intends to use him as a vessel for her ritual. At the crash site, the mummy Ahmanet escapes from her sarcophagus and begins feeding on rescue teams to regenerate her decomposed body. She turns the workers into her henchmen zombies and lures Nick and Jenny into a trap, forcing them to fight the zombies. Ahmanet recovers her dagger. While trying to perform the ritual on Nick, Ahmanet discovers that the ruby is not on the tip of her dagger so she cannot perform the ritual. Nick and Jenny snatch Ahmanet's dagger and try to escape through the woods. Soldiers appear and subdue Ahmanet. Their leader, Dr. Henry Jekyll, explains that Jenny is an agent of Prodigium, a secret society dedicated to hunting supernatural threats.

Jekyll transforms into Edward Hyde, his psychotic alternate personality; right when Nick rejects the offer of an alliance between them. Hyde attacks him but Nick stops him with the Jekyll serum, which he uses to suppress Hyde's evil side. Nick and Jenny defeat his captors and escape, while Ahmanet breaks free from her prison and retrieves her dagger. Using her powers, she awakens the army of deceased Crusaders to serve her and creates a sandstorm, made of glass, to bring her back to Nick for his ritual, and wreaks havoc on London. The corpses of the Crusaders kill the Prodigium soldiers, allowing Ahmanet to retrieve the missing ruby and place it back on her dagger.

Guided by the ghost of Vail, Nick and Jenny try to flee through the London Underground, but are attacked by Ahmanet's minions. Just when Nick and Jenny manage to lose them, Ahmanet captures Jenny and takes her underwater. Nick tries to save Jenny, but she drowns. Nick defends himself, but quickly gives up and lets himself be embraced by Ahmanet. However, it was Nick's trap to snatch the dagger from her and destroy the ruby in the hope of ending his life forever. Ahmanet begs him not to and convinces him. Nick stabs himself and is possessed by Set, who tries to bond with Ahmanet, until Nick sees Jenny's corpse. He recovers control of his body and uses Set's powers to dominate and extract life from Ahmanet, returning her to her lifeless mummy form.

Nick uses Set's powers to resurrect Jenny, and say goodbye before he is controlled by Set's power and disappears. Ahmanet's corpse is submerged in a pool of mercury inside the Prodigium base for safekeeping. Later, in the desert, Nick resurrects Vail and the two head off.

Production

Development

Universal Pictures first announced plans for a modern reboot of The Mummy franchise in 2012.[20][21] The project went through multiple directors, with Len Wiseman leaving the project in 2013,[22] and a second director, Andrés Muschietti, in 2014.[23][24]

Tom Cruise began talks about playing the lead in November 2015,[25] with Sofia Boutella beginning talks that December. Gwen Stefani, Jamie Chung, Lindsey Stirling and Brooke Shields were also considered.[13] Kurtzman cast Boutella after seeing and being impressed by her largely mute performance in Kingsman: The Secret Service. Kurtzman noted that "if you look at her eyes, and this is what I got from watching Kingsman, there's a whole performance going on here. And in not saying anything but conveying that much to me, I thought oh my god, no matter how much prosthetics we put on her, no matter how much CG we put on her face, if I see this, she's going to convey something very emotional to me."[26] Other casting news was announced between March and May, with Russell Crowe joining during the latter month.[30]

Shortly after the film opened, Variety reported that Cruise had excessive control over the film and firm control of nearly every aspect of production and post-production, including re-writing the script and editing to his specifications, telling Kurtzman how to direct on set, and enlarging his role while downplaying Boutella's. Universal contractually guaranteed Cruise control of most aspects of the project, from script approval to post-production decisions. In a statement, Universal denied that Cruise had a negative influence on the production, “Tom approaches every project with a level of commitment and dedication that is unmatched by most working in our business today,” the statement read. “He has been a true partner and creative collaborator, and his goal with any project he works on is to provide audiences with a truly cinematic moviegoing experience.”[31] Kurtzman said about the movie in a 2019 interview that, "The Mummy wasn’t what I wanted it to be. I’m no longer involved in that and have no idea what’s going on with it. I look back on it now [and] what felt painful at the time ended up being an incredible blessing for me."[32]

Filming

Principal photography on the film began on April 3, 2016, in Oxford, United Kingdom.[33][34] Filming on the movie concluded on July 17, 2016, in London.[35] Production then moved to Namibia for two weeks, with principal photography wrapping up on August 13, 2016.[36]

For the filming of the plane crash the production made use of The Vomit Comet and parabolic flight to simulate the illusion of weightlessness.[37] The crew did a total of 64 takes with many of the crew becoming sick to their stomachs.[38][39] Initially Kurtzman planned to shoot the scene entirely using wires and a rotating set, however Cruise's insistence changed his mind.[40]

Music

Composer Brian Tyler started work on the music for the movie early, writing about a half hour of music before filming even began. Working on the film for a year and half, Tyler recorded with an 84-piece orchestra and 32-voice choir at London's Abbey Road. He ultimately wrote and recorded over two hours of music, which, given the length of the film (110 minutes), resulted in a soundtrack album longer than the film itself.[41]

Release

Initially scheduled for a 2016 release,[42][43] the film was released in the United States and Canada on June 9, 2017, with international roll out beginning the same day. The film was screened in various formats, such as 2D, 3D, and IMAX 3D.[7][12]

On December 20, 2016, IMAX released a trailer with the wrong audio track attached; this unintentionally prompted the creation of memes and video montages featuring the mistakenly included audio track, which was missing most of the sound effects and instead featured Tom Cruise's grunts and screams.[44] IMAX reacted by taking down the trailer and issuing DMCA takedown notices in an attempt to stop it from spreading.[45]

Reception

Box office

The Mummy grossed $80.2 million in the United States and Canada and $329.8 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $410 million.[4] Due to a combined production and marketing cost of $345 million, it was estimated the film needed to gross $450 million in order to break-even, and ended up losing the studio between $60–100 million.[3][46]

In North America, the film was released alongside It Comes at Night and Megan Leavey and was originally projected to gross $35–40 million from 4,034 theaters in its opening weekend.[47] However, after making $12 million on its first day (including $2.66 million from Thursday night previews), weekend projections were lowered to $30 million.[48] It ended up debuting to $31.7 million, marking the lowest of the Mummy franchise and finishing second at the box office behind Wonder Woman ($58.2 million in its second week). Deadline Hollywood attributed the film's underperformance to poor critic and audience reactions, as well as "blockbuster fatigue."[49] In its second weekend the film made $14.5 million (dropping 54.2%), finishing 4th at the box office.[50] It was pulled from 827 theaters in its third week and made $5.8 million, dropping another 60% and finishing 6th at the box office.[51]

Outside North America, the film opened in 63 overseas territories, with China, the UK, Mexico, Germany, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil and Russia receiving the film the same day as in North America, and was projected to debut to $125–135 million.[52] It opened on June 6, 2017 in South Korea and grossed $6.6 million on its first day, the biggest-ever debut for both Tom Cruise and Universal in the country.[53] It ended up having a foreign debut of $140.7 million, the biggest of Cruise's career. In its opening weekend the film made $52.4 million in China, $7.4 million in Russia, $4.9 million in Mexico and $4.2 million in the United Kingdom. As of July 9, 2017, The film other big markets are China ($91.5 million), South Korea ($26.2 million), Russia and the CIS ($15.9 million) and Brazil ($13.2 million).

Critical response

The Mummy received generally negative reviews from critics, with criticism aimed at its narrative tone, acting, and plot points setting up the Dark Universe.[54] On Rotten Tomatoes the film holds an approval rating of 16% based on 310 reviews, with an average rating of 4.22/10. The website's critical consensus reads: "Lacking the campy fun of the franchise's most recent entries and failing to deliver many monster-movie thrills, The Mummy suggests a speedy unraveling for the Dark Universe."[55] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 34 out of 100, based on 44 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[56] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B−" on an A+ to F scale, while PostTrak reported filmgoers gave it a 70% overall positive score.[57]

Vince Mancini of Uproxx gave the film a negative review, writing: "If you like incomprehensible collections of things that vaguely resemble other things you might've enjoyed in the past, The Mummy is the movie for you."[58] IndieWire's David Ehrlich gave the film a D–, calling it the worst film of Cruise's career and criticizing its lack of originality, saying: "It's one thing to excavate the iconography of old Hollywood, it's another to exploit it. This isn't filmmaking, it's tomb-raiding."[59]

Owen Gleiberman of Variety wrote: "The problem at its heart is that the reality of what the movie is—a Tom Cruise vehicle—is at war with the material. The actor, at 54, is still playing that old Cruise trope, the selfish cocky semi-scoundrel who has to grow up. ... The trouble is that Cruise, at least in a high-powered potboiler like this one, is so devoted to maintaining his image as a clear and wholesome hero that his flirtation with the dark side is almost entirely theoretical."[60] Writing for Rolling Stone, Peter Travers gave the film one star out of four, saying: "How meh is The Mummy? Let me count the ways. For all the huffing and puffing and digital desperation from overworked computers, this reboot lands onscreen with a resounding thud."[61]

Glen Kenny of RogerEbert.com gave the film 1.5/4 stars, writing: "I found something almost admirable about the film's cheek. It's amazingly relentless in its naked borrowing from other, better horror and sci-fi movies that I was able to keep occupied making a checklist of the movies referenced."[62] Entertainment Weekly's Chis Nashawaty wrote that the film "feels derivative and unnecessary and like it was written by committee."[63]

In BBC World News Culture, Nicholas Barber calls the film "a mish-mash of wildly varying tones and plot strands, from its convoluted beginning to its shameless non-end. Tom Cruise's new film barely qualifies as a film at all. None of it makes sense. The film delivers all the chases, explosions, zombies and ghosts you could ask for, and there are a few amusing lines and creepy moments, but, between the headache-inducing flashbacks and hallucinations, the narrative would be easier to follow if it were written in hieroglyphics."[64]

Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian wrote that the film "has some nice moments but is basically a mess. The plot sags like an aeon-old decaying limb, a jumble of ideas and scenes from what look like different screenplay drafts," and concluded that "It's a ragbag of action scenes which needed to be bandaged more tightly."[65] Empire film magazine was more positive, with Dan Jolin awarding the film three stars. "It's running and jumping grin-flashing business as usual for Cruise, once more on safe character territory as an Ethan Hunt-esque action protagonist who couples up with a much younger woman, while another woman chases after him," he wrote. "And if the next installment-teasing conclusion is anything to go by, Cruise seemed to have enough fun making this that he may just return for more."[66]

Video game

A video game based on the film, The Mummy Demastered, was released on October 24, 2017. It is a Metroidvania featuring a stand-alone story, which takes place concurrently with the events of the film and follows Prodigium soldiers under the command of Dr. Jekyll who fight the forces of Princess Ahmanet; unlike the film, it received positive reviews.[69][70][71][72][73][74]

Cancelled franchise

The film was part of Universal Pictures' Dark Universe, an attempt to create a modern cinematic universe based on the classic Universal Monsters film series.[75] A remake of Bride of Frankenstein was originally scheduled for release on February 14, 2019,[76] but on October 5, 2017, Universal decided to postpone it to allow more work to be done on the script.[77] The 2014 film Dracula Untold was originally considered to be the first film in the series; however, since the film's release, the connection to the Dark Universe was downplayed, and The Mummy was re-positioned as the first film in the series.[78][79][80] By 2019, Universal announced plans to return to standalone features instead of using a shared film narrative, effectively ending the Dark Universe.[81]

Notes
  1. Jake Johnson's character is listed as Sgt. Vail in the closing credits, but is called Corporal Vail by Morton in the scene where they talk with Greenway.
