Brendan Fraser in The Mummy
The Big Picture The lean period that the box office has been experiencing in recent weeks, perhaps a side effect of last year’s WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, has encouraged a string of re-releases of older classics. While Dune and Shrek 2 had solid recent runs, not to mention the ongoing re-release of every live-action Spider-Man movie, this past weekend saw the re-issue of Ridley Scott’s Alien and director Stephen Sommers’ The Mummy, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.
The film also cemented Brendan Fraser as one of the biggest movie stars of the 1990s. Fraser experienced a bit of a career slump in the 2010s, before his grand rebound a couple of years ago with his Oscar-winning performance in Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale. He reprized his role as the adventurer Rick O’Connell in 2001’s The Mummy Returns, which was an even bigger hit with $435 million in global box office revenue.
