The Dark Universe officially kicked off with this month’s The Mummy, starring Cruise and Sofia Boutella as the titular creature.
The Tom Cruise-headlined The Mummy is headed towards a hefty financial loss, despite its strong performance overseas.
In fact, the film is on pace to lose the studio an estimated $95 million.
The big saving grace so far for both The Mummy and the future prospect’s of Universal’s Dark Universe as a whole is that Cruise’s film has been much more happily welcomed by overseas audiences, raking in an additional $236 million from outside the U.S. Despite that seemingly large haul though, according to a new report by Deadline, The Mummy is still unlikely to be profitable for Universal.
