Lee Cronin’s The Mummy is set to land on digital streaming on Tuesday, May 19, as the horror film nears the end of its domestic run and has crossed $88.1 million worldwide at the box office.
The first question people asked after Lee Cronin’s The Mummy premiered in theaters on April 17 was simple: how far would it go before it moved on?
By Sunday, the movie had pulled in $29 million domestically and $59.1 million internationally, bringing its worldwide box office tally to $88.1 million. It is now down to 178 North American theaters, signaling the slow fade of its domestic theatrical window.
For Warner Bros., the numbers land in an interesting place. The studio released the film on a $22 million production budget before marketing expenses. On its face, $88.1 million might not look overwhelming. But financially. it is still a return—and one that matters as the studio judges how audiences respond to Cronin’s horror direction after his earlier take on the genre for them.
Cronin wrote and directed The Mummy, his latest swing at the mummy-movie concept. The film stars Jack Reynor and Laia Costa as Charlie and Larissa Canon. a couple raising their two children in Cairo while Charlie works as a television journalist on assignment in Egypt. The story pivots when their daughter. Katie. played by Emily Mitchell. is playing in the backyard one day and disappears without a trace.
Eight years later, the Cannons—who moved home to Arizona after their daughter’s disappearance—receive a call from the U.S. Embassy in Egypt. Katie has been found inside a 3,000-year-old sarcophagus.
What comes after isn’t just a reunion. The movie follows as the Cannons learn their daughter was subject to a terrifying ritual, and that she emerges from her slumber in a catatonic state that quickly turns into a living nightmare for the family.
The digital release arrives soon. Warner Bros. Home Entertainment announced that Lee Cronin’s The Mummy will be released on digital streaming via premium video on demand on Tuesday. May 19. It will be available for purchase on PVOD through Apple TV. Fandango at Home. Prime Video and YouTube Movies & TV for $24.99. Rentals typically cost $5 less than purchase prices, so it should be offered for a 48-hour rental period for $19.99.
The horror doesn’t stop there. The film is also set for release on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on July 14. It is rated R and also stars May Calamawy, Billie Roy and Veronica Falcón.
Cronin’s film arrives into a studio landscape shaped by past performance. His previous Warner Bros. horror. 2023’s Evil Dead Rise. brought in $67.3 million domestically and $79.9 million internationally for a global gross of $147.2 million against a $15.2 million production budget before marketing. That context helps explain why Warner Bros. isn’t only watching ticket sales—it is watching what audiences will choose next.
Back at the box office, The Mummy’s next chapter is already taking shape: digital streaming on May 19, followed by physical releases on July 14, with the story’s central family nightmare still waiting for viewers who may have missed it on the big screen.

So it’s on digital now? I swear these horror movies don’t even leave theaters anymore.
88 million worldwide sounds good but like… how much after marketing? It always feels like studios say “return” no matter what. Also I thought The Mummy was already like 20 years old lol.
Wait the daughter disappears then comes back in a sarcophagus?? That’s basically every 2010s horror plot, but with better lighting. I don’t get how it’s only in 178 theaters still, people must not be watching in my area. I’ll probably watch on digital anyways though.
I saw the headline and thought it made $88 million in ONE DAY. Then I read it was worldwide total, which makes it seem way less crazy. Also “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy” sounds like some indie director name but then it’s Warner Bros so… make it make sense. If the budget was $22m, why do they act like it’s barely a win? Probably streaming will flop or something.
