Deadline reports that The Mummy has earned an impressive $141.8 million this weekend from 63 international box office markets.
The Mummy debuted in second place with an estimated $32.2 million, which was below many box office projections that had put the movie at over a $40 million debut.
At the time of War of the Worlds’ box office debut, China wasn’t nearly the international powerhouse that it is now.
Heading into the weekend, most box office prognosticators predicted that Universal’s The Mummy reboot wouldn’t be able to best the hit superhero movie Wonder Woman, which turned out to be true.
