Van Helsing was a cinematic Abomination. Not one good performance out of all the actors.

I really disliked VAN HELSING. On a visceral level. 

 

Then again, I haven't watched it since '04. No interest in revisiting it, though.

 

yeah but

I'm pretty sure everyone can afford Zane these days.

Underworld movies are a lot of fun. The only bad things are the hot trash you enjoy like Monster Trucks.

 

^hasnt even seen Monster Trucks

 

YOU PROMISED CJOHN

Other problem is that good roles for men in their 50s start to dry up.  brad pitt and clooney produce most of their movies. but they are smart and hired great people to work with (especially pitt) and the output is excellent

 

look at liam neeson....excellent actor who should have won the oscar for schindler's list  and he's doing crap action

The one thing the revival is truly missing. (Along with more James. 10 seconds is not enough).

Guess Universal won't be updating the Mummy ride at Universal Studios with the Cruise Mummy

Wouldn't be surprised if they had something for Horror Nights.

I promised you to see it on OD. The freaking movie wasn't released here in theaters lmao. I didn't failed my promise. It went to the same limbo where the UNTITLE CYBER THRILLER OVER 100M IN CHINA lives.

Variety claiming 14 Friday for MUMMY and 35 weekend.

52 for WONDR without any Friday guesstimate.

 

Quote

It’s still Wonder Woman’s world as Gal Gadot’s hit will dominate the weekend at the North American box office against a dismal debut for Tom Cruise’s “The Mummy,” early estimates showed on Friday.

 

“Wonder Woman” is heading for about $52 million at 4,165 sites in its second weekend while “The Mummy” is on life support with around $35 million at 4,034 domestic locations, according to Friday projections.

 

But “The Mummy” is heading for a beating. The opening is at the low end of the most recent projections, which were in the $35 million to $40 million range. Its opening day of $14 million, including $2.7 million from Thursday night previews, is a sharp contrast to “Wonder Woman’s” $38 million first day on June 2

A hot babe in a PG outfit lost the capacity to keep my attention in a shitty movie a long time ago.

Buy it off of Amazon, or just do something to see it.  Support my movie, Johnny.

Variety numbers wouldn't be too shabby for "The Mummy", but I'm afraid, this one might be heavy on matinees with older audiences and thatfor drop at night.

Providing the Dark Universe actually succeeds, they'll probably just make a new ride in the third park and close the one at Studios.

It's not in the rumored lineup right now. The Conjuring house fell through because of issues with WB, so it could replace that if Universal wanted to do a tie in for the home media release.

speaking of the mummy 99 i fucking LOVE arnold vosloo what a good actor if used wisely.

 

i mean he is great in the mummy and the best vilain in 24.

 

What an underrated actor damn it give this man a good bad guy role he is born for it.

 

Very sad he does not appear in good film.....

 

 

He keeps playing bad guys, usually in action films.  I remember he played a bad guy in 2 Van Damme movies.  Hard Target, directed by John Woo. The other movie was a lame Die hard in a train scenario, or whatever it's called. 

 

He played Darkman in Darkman 2 and 3, though.

Oh 14M would be very very good
