There are already a number of other entries in development, like Bride of Frankenstein and Creature from the Black Lagoon, but if The Mummy bombs big time, the studio could alter plans or completely reverse course. Keep in mind that The Mummy's performance will also determine how Universal moves forward with its Monsters cinematic universe. Director: Rob Cohen Stars: Brendan Fraser, Jet Li, Maria Bello, Michelle Yeoh.

In the Far East, Alex OConnell, the son of famed mummy fighters Rick and Evy OConnell, unearths the mummy of the first Emperor of Qin - a shape-shifting entity cursed by a witch centuries ago.

The Mummy is also opening on the same day in almost all international markets (including China), and is predicted to do "substantially more business" in these territories.
