Indeed. The Mummy is certainly doing well enough. I'm pretty skeptical on the outlook of how the next few films will fare

Bride's date is much better then Mummy's.

The original series or revival?  

I have yet to start the revival. I need to see Fire Walk With Me first.

They'll continue Dark Universe.

lol No.  Its not only doing badly, people are outright rejecting it. you don't start a universe with a flop movie panned by audiences

Don't forget The Missing Pieces there's a couple of things in it referenced in the revival.

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

 

LOL Father TIME is really on your side

sure. but also The Mummy is actually an established box office force. Maybe once marketing is in gear I will believe in it but on paper it doesn't look good to me

I'm always conflicted whether I should mock Billy Zane or envy him.

God I wish I could be watching Season 1 again with fresh eyes.

I just hope we get the eventual current popular comedic duo meets the Universal Monsters film

Check out The Missing Pieces after FWWM too. At least one or two scenes there that have already made some moments in the revival more impactful.

Jesus, do I also need to watch Mulholland Drive? Guess I need to get The Missing Pieces? Is it that important?

If Mummy flops, Universal will keep the plans for another movie with a different monster. 

 

There's a difference between making A Mummy 2 and another movie with another creature.

It's almost like you didn't have an agenda against this movie from the start.

I don't really think so. The third one bombed hard.

It's considered canon but if you want you could still go into the revival without seeing it. However a couple small references will be missed.

Well you do need to watch Mulholland Drive but because it's an incredible movie not because it has anything to do Twin Peaks.  The Missing Pieces isn't essential I suppose but it's useful. Especially if you end up digging FWWM. Lynch was nuts to cut some of those scenes out of the movie.

Wasn't Johnson rumored to be the Wolfman.  That would be meta.

 

BTW some of those Abbott and Costello meet the.....films are pretty funny.
