The Mummy is on pace to earn more than $169 million at the global box office this weekend, marking the biggest opening ever for a Tom Cruise film.
While The Mummy isn’t expected to wrap up the No. 1 spot at the domestic box office (thanks to a Wonder Woman repeat), early returns suggest that director Alex Kurtzman’s film will easily win the global box office.
According to Deadline, The Mummy has grossed $56.8 million at the box office through Friday, putting the film on track to make $139 million overseas this weekend, which sets a new international record for a Cruise film.
Combined with the film’s estimated $30.3 domestic gross, the film is tracking to make $169.3 worldwide – which is enough to eclipse Cruise’s previous top global box office mark of $167.4 million set by War of the Worlds in 2005.
