The Mummy is a 2017 American fantasy action-adventure film[6] co-produced and directed by Alex Kurtzman from a screenplay written by David Koepp, Christopher McQuarrie, and Dylan Kussman based on a story by Kurtzman, Jon Spaihts, and Jenny Lumet. A reboot of the Mummy franchise,[7] it stars Tom Cruise as U.S. Army Sergeant Nick Morton, a soldier of fortune who accidentally unearths the ancient tomb of entrapped Egyptian princess Ahmanet (Sofia Boutella). Annabelle Wallis, Jake Johnson, Courtney B. Vance, and Russell Crowe also star.
The Mummy premiered at the State Theatre in Sydney, Australia on May 22, 2017, and was theatrically released in the United States on June 9, 2017.[8] It received generally negative reviews from critics and grossed $410 million worldwide, losing $60–95 million due to high production and marketing costs. Intended to kick-start the Dark Universe, a shared universe based on the classic Universal Monsters film series, the film's poor box office performance led to the cancellation of the shared universe.[9]
