Apparently horrendous reviews be damned (at least in the rest of the world):
Tom Cruise’s ‘The Mummy’ Scares Up $141.8 Million at International Box Office
"While Universal may not be supremely enthused by how “The Mummy” is opening in North America, the studio’s latest is posting impressive numbers overseas, especially in China.
From 63 territories, the film is expected to earn $141.8 million, which, combined with the North American take of $32.2 million, would give Universal’s latest a worldwide opening of $174 million."
It's interesting that the movie opened in China because the Depp/DS film was banned there because of supernatural content. Supernaturally speaking, how does a rampaging mummy differ from a vampire/witch story? Apparently only the Chinese know...
