While most of the Mummy cast returned for Returns, one addition also padded the box office. While Mummy got a decent advertising push, it didn’t compare to the blitz that accompanied the sequel the success of Mummy caught the studio a little by surprise, but that wouldn’t occur for the new flick. I suppose brand identification may have been part of it folks had two years to live with the original and rewatch it on video, so foreknowledge of the sequel was strong. Why did the sequel capture such a strong audience? That’s a good question. Returns didn’t obliterate Mummy to that degree, but its $201 million still marked a nice increase over the first film’s $155 million. 1991’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day also took in much more money than did 1984’s The Terminator the sequel grabbed $204 million compared to the original’s $36 million. One of the most notable exceptions was 1999’s Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me its $205 million totally blew away the $53 million take of 1997’s Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. Very few sequels outgross the original films. That this occurred didn’t seem surprising, but few foresaw how popular the new flick would be. $26.98 street date 10/02/01.Īudio Commentary With Writer/Director Stephen Sommers and Executive Producer/Editor Bob Ducsay Spotlight On Location Featurette An Exclusive Conversation With the Rock Egyptology 201 Visual and Special Effects Formation Outtakes Live “Forever May Not Be Long Enough” Music Video The Scorpion King Preview “A Special Message From Oded Fehr” The Mummy Returns: Chamber of Doom” Playstation 2 Game Trailer “ The Mummy Returns Special Offer” Theatrical Trailer Cast and Filmmakers Production Notes DVD-ROM Features.Īfter the unexpected box office success of 1999’s The Mummy, it became inevitable that a sequel would appear.
