For some time, it appeared as though the studio had a real heavyweight franchise on its hands.Ī major reason for the success of the first two "Mummy " films was the solid cast, which helped revitalize the action-adventure genre by infusing it with both horror and comedy. "The Mummy" trilogy, which kicked off in 1999 and concluded with 2008's critically panned "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor," killed it at the box office, raking in a collective $1.25 billion worldwide according to The Numbers. Over a decade before Universal's attempted Dark Universe absolutely botched their Tom Cruise-led "Mummy" reboot, their original efforts at bringing the classic monster back to the big screen were certified hits.
