Lee Cronin's The Mummy Worldwide Box Office: Can It Outgross Saw III, The Highest-Grossing Film In The Saw Franchise?

Koimoi 1 week ago

2026 has been an interesting year so far, as far as the box office performance of horror films is concerned. Although the critically acclaimed zombie sequel 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple did not perform as expected, some others managed to draw audiences to theaters.

At the time of writing, Scream 7 is the highest-grossing horror movie of 2026 so far with an impressive $207.6 million worldwide haul, according to Box Office Mojo.

Lee Cronin's latest directorial effort, The Mummy, clinched the No. 2 spot among this year's horror releases after recently outgrossing Sam Raimi's Send Help, according to Box Office Mojo. It remains to be seen whether it can retain its No. 2 spot amid eagerly anticipated horror films like Evil Dead Burn, Insidious 6, and Zach Cregger's Resident Evil, all lined up for release in the coming months.

After playing for over two weeks in theaters, Lee Cronin's The Mummy has grossed $119.4 million worldwide. However, it is virtually impossible for it to now surpass the global earnings of Brendan Fraser's 1999 hit, The Mummy ($417.6 million), according to Box Office Mojo, and its sequels and Tom Cruise's 2017 reboot, which grossed $409.2 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo.

Now, first, let's take a look at how Lee Cronin's The Mummy performed at the box office, according to data from Box Office Mojo.
