It seems to be doing well in Asia for some reason but I think no sequals like last version. They will make money back but not enough reception to justify a second movie.

World wide draws for spectacle films tend to be big even if the film flops in the US and can turn into sizable profit margins. It's a big reason Transformers movies keep getting made. For all the critiques of the US, large segments of worldwide audiences sure eat up dumb special effects driven movies.

Is it too late to ask for Brendan Fraser back?

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).

Silly question... Is there actually a mummy in this movie?
I am in the fence for seeing it... but the trailers just show a regular lady in funny clothes.
Are there shambling, shuffling, unstoppable, embalmed undead? Of just a magic chick that gets resurrected?

Well, to be fair, there was just as much of a Mummy (or lack thereof) in the other 'modern' Mummy films, right?

Pretty hyped for that one, but afraid I'll get Babadook'd.
Same. Intend to wait for video though (and hey I liked Babadook).
I quite liked Babadook as well, think it was perhaps my favourite horror movie of that year (other than perhaps It Follows)

They all play pretty fast and loose with real history, but the Brendan Fraser films at least referenced some historical names and concepts. Sure, it's all still a pulpy mash, but the basic premise was workable. Heck, they didn't even fall into the trap of using Set as an "evil" god.

They also bothered to not do a modern movie and set it in the 30's to 50's later on in 3.
this one is a straight up lazy modern version

Just back from watching the film with friends - we all thought it was tremendous fun, great action, comedy and cast. Very Knowing.
As usual the critics talk utter crap.
