The Mummy 4, marking the return and reunion of Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, has kept us very excited. The film recently received its title: The Mummy: Book of the Dead. It will be released a full year later, but that does not keep us from calculating its box office prospects. The previous three films did well financially and helped the franchise reach a mega milestone, with the 4th film on its way and all the buzz around it, which might help it push past another mega milestone worldwide. Keep scrolling for the numbers.
Which is the highest-grossing film in the Brendan Fraser-led franchise?
The franchise began in 1999 with The Mummy, but the second installment still holds the record of being the highest-grossing film in the franchise. The Mummy Returns, released in 2001, grossed $444.1 million worldwide [via Box Office Mojo]. It is also the first film that features Dwayne Johnson as the Scorpion King.
The Mummy franchise crossed $1.2 billion with three films
Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are adored for their roles in the fantasy action-adventure franchise. However, fans were very disappointed with the third installment, Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, due to the replacement of Rachel Weisz as Evelyn. It also received negative reviews from critics and became the lowest-grossing film in the franchise. Anyway, the three films have pushed the franchise total past $1.26 billion worldwide.
