Technically only Kurtzman is involved (as director), and it does has some pretty good writers attached to it; David Koepp (Jurassic Park, Spider-Man, Mission Impossible) and Christopher McQuarrie (MI: Rogue Nation, The Usual Suspects, Edge of Tomorrow)
The writing talent involved is enough for me to not write it off completely.

There was a moment in time where Tom Cruise was *the* Hollywood star. Like you think of what a Hollywood actor is stereotypically supposed to be and you got Tom Cruise.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's still a draw internationally just from that appeal.

Right. But that was, what, 16 years ago? More? He hasn't really done shit in the mean time besides jump on Oprah's couch and talk about scientology.
i guess once you reach a certain level in some parts of the world, you're a megastar draw forever.
>from the writer of Passengers and Prometheus
He's done several Mission Impossible movies, Edge of Tomorrow, Oblivion (I liked it), tropic thunder, Collateral.
He's likable and makes (mostly) entertaining blockbusters. It's not a mystery.

16 years gives him Minority Report, The Last Samurai, Collateral, MI 3,4 and 5, Jack Reacher, Oblivion, and Edge of Tomorrow.
So, pretty much his entire existence as an action star.

My favorite moment about The Mummy spots I've seen is a scene where he attacks the mummy woman...with a stick.
I wouldnt expect too much from those. They are maybe 15% of the superhero market combined. Still, that will help with the international drops as China fades away.

So this son of a bitch went from dramatic film star to action star as he got older
DAMN YOU TOM CRUISE
wat. He's been the start of one of the longest running action franchises, that has only managed to get better over time, for like 20 years. Not to mention Minority Report, Jack Reacher, Tropic Thunder...

Mummy have a lot of marketing over here in Singapore. I think I am seeing more marketing for mummy than WW.

?
Oprah couch jump and Scientology talk were like 16 years ago if anything, he's just had a string of successful actiony roles for awhile now

Wonder Woman ended up doing ok first week in Australia. A little behind Logan but it won't end up too bad. It might just top doctor strange when all is said and done. So not a spectacular performance but it shouldn't hold back its international numbers at all.
Having said that Australia seems to favour DC movies somewhat. For example last year SS actually outgrossed civil war and wasn't that far away from age of ultron type numbers.
Overall marvels films don't seem to perform quite as well in Australia except for the avengers which was huge and we're one of the stronger markets for Thor (Hemsworth effect). I might do a bit more of an in depth comparison when I have some time.

I saw one ad with Tom Cruise sitting in a chair telling audiences why they should care about The Mummy. It's weird. He's like "I see a female mummy. I'm interested. It's fresh. I want to see that movie!"
WW marketing seems muted here compared to the previous few DC movies, besides a really bad looking statue of her and some stickers at the mrt I don't seem much of it anywhere.
I saw one where he was talking about filming the plane crash/zero G scene in the Vomit Comet and I was distracted thinking about how expensive that would have been for such a short sequence.

Lol, that's weird, not seen that one.
If Vin Diesel can get to 1 billion overseas:

The Cruise Missile should be able to cross 2 billion easily.

Why would DC sue them?
I mean they gave JLD to GDT - that's like giving someone with a terminal illness a ticket on the first public space trip.
Fine, they can have it then. Wish they hadn't changed the title for the JLD movie.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
If Universal had any idea what they were doing, they would've called this the Cruise Cinematic Universe and had a bunch of Tom Cruises team up to run really fast and beat a CGI Scorpion King Rock. These studios are leaving money on the table.
I wish they'd just call JLD Shadowpact. Far cooler team. And Detective Chimp needs to be on screen already. Show everyone that fucking trash panda ain't shit.
YES.

That seems high
Please tell me what I should think about this.
Right in line.
Seems to be 2nd best Tues for a live-action film in June according to Deadline
WW has topped 250 million WW. So the pathetic guesses that it'd flop are already obsolete.
Kswiston the god.
Yup. But cheap Tuesdays are much stronger now than even 2 years ago, so nothing is really comparable. Historically, Monday was the strongest weekday, but now it is Tuesday by a large margin.
I am going to guess $9.7M for today. My wed drop was probably too high on that post from yesterday as I was just using even drops.
$9.7M would be third for June live action after Jurassic World and Transformers 2.

"Warners is mulling legal action, according to a studio source."
Pretty throwaway statement buy hey, it's something.
I also wonder... granted super small number of screens is the special promotional Women-Only screenings got more people interested in going yesterday... if nothing else to see what happens (and seemed like non-stories)
I think Flash would be good for him.
Raimi's love of snap zooms would fit perfectly with that character. Plus, Flash would work better with a corny Raimi tone than MoS 2 imo.
