Pictures<\/p>\n<p>The gore-heavy \u201cLee Cronin\u2019s The Mummy\u201d was one of two major new wide releases this week, the title making its debut in third place at the U.S. domestic box-office with $13 million for the Friday-Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Critics were mixed\/negative on the film, and the audience CinemaScore at C+ is, though not \u201cWolf Man\u201d bad, it\u2019s no \u201cThe Invisible Man\u201d (B+) either.  In addition, the title pulled in a further $7.9 million from overseas.<\/p>\n<p>The Bob Odenkirk-led action movie \u201cNormal\u201d was the other one, debuting to just $2.6 million for the three-day and a sixth-place start.  A CinemaScore of just C+ sadly indicates people aren\u2019t warming to it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Super Mario Galaxy Movie\u201d held onto the top spot with $30 million in its third weekend, down 56% and set to hit $350 million domestically by Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>In second was \u201cProject Hail Mary\u201d with $18.5 million in its fifth weekend, down just 23% and currently with $283.1 million.  The longevity of the title makes Amazon\u2019s decision to keep the film in cinemas for an extended run understandable.<\/p>\n<p>Fourth place is the Zendaya and Robert Pattinson-led romantic drama \u201cThe Drama\u201d with $4.7 million \u2013 down 38% in its third weekend \u2013 the title now at $37.7 million domestic total and on par with \u201cChallengers\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In fifth was the rom-com \u201cYou, Me &amp; Tuscany\u201d with $3.55 million \u2013 down 55% in its second weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2026\/04\/box-office-lee-cronins-the-mummy-super-mario-galaxy-movie-1236864337\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Deadline<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Blumhouse, Warner Bros.
