The 1999 film 'The Mummy' starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz is enjoying a resurgence in popularity, climbing Hulu's Top 15 chart thanks to a surge in viewership. The film, which boasts a 62% critics' approval rating and 75% audience approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, transports audiences back to 1926 Cairo where archaeologists are searching for ancient treasures. Fraser's Rick O'Connell leads a team that inadvertently awakens a vengeful high priest (Arnold Vosloo) from his centuries-long slumber, setting off a thrilling adventure.
You know the bumper sticker: “Honk if you’d rather be watching the 1999 cinematic masterpiece The Mummy starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz”? Well, now you can be watching the iconic piece of movie history when you join ranks with numerous other Hulu subscribers who are helping the title climb the streamer’s Top 15 chart.
Set just a few years following the uncovering of King Tutankhamun’s tomb, The Mummy transports audiences back to Cairo in 1926 when archaeologists were flocking to Egypt’s capital city in hopes of unearthing something magnificent. At the center of the tale is Fraser’s Rick O’Connell, a sort-of Indiana Jones-type character who loves to get the adrenaline pumping while out on the hunt for treasure.
Universal Dug Up a Franchise Close Just as Vosloo’s high priest Imhotep was unearthed by the trio of adventurers in The Mummy, Universal Pictures used the Stephen Sommers-helmed film as a way to reinvigorate the franchise. The title served as a remake of the classic 1932 film of the same name, and quickly became a financial hit for the studio, earning more than $417 million against its $80 million production budget.
