2026’s Horror Movie Box Office Curse Officially Broken By Lee Cronin’s The Mummy In Week 2

The new Mummy film from Blumhouse premiered on April 17th and is the third in a series of reboots of classic Universal Monsters. (Interestingly, it’s the first of these films not directly made by Universal, but by Warner Bros. Pictures.) This follows 2020’s successful The Invisible Man, written and directed by Leigh Whannell, which earned $144.5 million on a $7 million budget. However, the upcoming Wolf Man (also written or co-written and directed by Whannell, scheduled for 2025) underperformed, bringing in only $35.2 million against a $25 million budget.
