Overview

  • Universal and Illumination’s sequel earned about $30 million in its third weekend, lifting its domestic total near $350 million and pushing worldwide grosses past $700 million ahead of its Japan launch.
  • Amazon MGM’s Project Hail Mary added an estimated $18.5–19 million in weekend five, returned to IMAX for a one‑week run, and now sits around $283 million domestic after the studio extended its exclusive theatrical window.
  • Warner Bros.’ Lee Cronin’s The Mummy debuted in third with roughly $12.5–13 million after a $5.1–5.2 million Friday from 3,304 theaters, carried a reported $22 million production budget, and received a C+ CinemaScore with midrange Rotten Tomatoes scores.
  • The reception for The Mummy points to tougher word of mouth, though its low cost and its status as the only new wide-release horror could help steady late shows and genre‑fan turnout.
  • This quieter box‑office frame arrives before new wide releases like Michael next weekend and The Devil Wears Prada 2 the week after, which could shift premium screens and reset the rankings.
