Warner Bros. superhero tentpole Wonder Woman held on to the top spot at the box office while Universal’s Tom Cruise-starring The Mummy reboot failed to unwrap big gains domestically as Hollywood’s bleak summer continued this weekend. Wonder Woman — starring Gal Gadot as the Amazonian princess-turned World War I peacekeeper — raked in $16 million Friday for an estimated $57.2 million weekend total in its second week of release, according to Box Office Mojo. The well-reviewed Patty Jenkins-directed film, with a 93 percent “fresh” rating on reviews aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, fell just 45 percent in its second weekend for a ten-day domestic total of $205 million. The film has fared even better overseas, with its international tally standing at $435 million.

What is this, the SECOND remake of the Boris Karloff original??
The Fraser one was mediocre. I expect this one to bomb miserably.
Tom Cruise is now box-office poison because of his nutty religion.
Aren’t all new adventure movies a CGI mess?
I haven’t been to the movies in I-don’t-know-how-long. And I haven’t Redbox’d a movie in months. There’s just nothing I want to see. Jason Statham’s Mechanic movie was the last one....
Many are. I’d like to see movies with real people and real places that don’t have a politically correct theme. I can’t be the only one.
AMEN ! That's why I never watched any of the Transformer movies - Special effects overdose !
Let make a movie that has already been done several times!! that should really sell well!!
Third.
The Mummy (1932)
The Mummy (1959)
The Mummy (1999)
The Mummy (2017)
Ironically, the 1959 version was the only non-Universal one, but it was more of a faithful homage to Universal's classic Mummy movies than any of the other remakes.
I don’t think “The Mummy” was the best choice to start the “Dark Universe.” Never saw a mummy movie I liked. Re-booted Frankenstein, Dracula and Wolfman are more interesting to me.
Wow, lookit the creativity, the ORIGINALITY of today’s Hollyweird /x
They can’t be “imaginative” unless it involves sex, dirty talk, politics, and a “diverse” cast
I watched the 70s campy Wonder Woman on Saturday night.
As cheesy as Aschluss 77 was, it was more watchable than most of the newer stuff.
We saw “Some Like It Hot” on the big screen last night. It’s aged well.
“Tom Cruise is now box-office poison because of his nutty religion.”
Plus isn’t he eight hundred and eleventy billion years old? Shirley, there must be some new up and comer by now.
LOL. I always had a "tentpole" when watching Linda Carter as Wonder Woman.
The only decent stuff now if old movies and documentaries. Most other stuff is crap with unlikable personalities and PC madness
Frankenstein is overdue for another remake
Nick Morton is a soldier of fortune who plunders ancient sites for timeless artifacts and sells them to the highest bidder. When Nick and his partner come under attack in the Middle East, the ensuing battle accidentally unearths Ahmanet, a betrayed Egyptian princess who was entombed under the desert for thousands of years. With her powers constantly evolving, Morton must now stop the resurrected monster as she embarks on a furious rampage through the streets of London.
Sounds sorta like Hillary.
Who would pay good money to see that?
I think we are due for the chick-flick horror movie remake:
“Bride of Frankenstein.” The title has “Bride” in it; that should draw the ladies.
Was just going to say the same thing. He is too old for these roles.
Aren’t they doing a Top Gun sequel with him in it as well? I predict another flop.
