WB/Blumhouse's Lee Cronin's The Mummy had a solid debut domestically in third place, but it had a far stronger performance overseas to save it from disaster. The Top 10 earned a combined $87.5 million this weekend.

That's down a rough 32.3% from last year, when Sinners opened with an impressive $48 million. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie added $36.4 million this weekend, allowing it to take the top spot. The 46% is slightly better than last week, but it's still steeper than the first film (35%).

The film has not collapsed quickly, but it's not exactly holding well, indicating word of mouth isn't very favorable. The film has earned $356.7 million, which is $79.2 million behind the original through the same point. With two highly anticipated films coming in the next two weeks, that gap will widen.

It looks like Super Mario Galaxy will miss $500 million domestically, and it could also miss $450 million if it doesn't hold well. Leave it up to Project Hail Mary, with the best hold in the Top 10. It eased an absurd 15%, adding $20.5 million this weekend.

The drop can be attributed to fantastic word of mouth, but also the film gaining back some IMAX screens. The film has earned an incredible $285.1 million, and should cross the $300 million milestone next week. Debuting in third place, WB/Blumhouse's Lee Cronin's The Mummy (no, seriously, that's how it's marketed) opened with $13.5 million in 3,304 theaters.

That's below Cronin's own Evil Dead Rise ($24.5 million), which opened around this spot three years ago. There's no point comparing it to the other Mummy titles. Given its low $22 million budget, this is a very solid start that should point to an easy profit.

But it still feels like the film could've done a bit better than this. It was the first pure horror since Scream 7, and Cronin made a good impression with Evil Dead Rise. But it looks like audiences do not have much appetite for a horror-themed Mummy adaptation, even though that's how the movies started back in the 1930s.

For trademark reasons (and amidst the announced return of Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz for a fourth Mummy installment), the film was advertised as Lee Cronin's The Mummy, hoping to take the good will he made with Evil Dead Rise here. But that was a double-edged sword; Cronin is not a known names to audiences (compared to other filmmakers), and the title's push was mocked in social media. Trailers emphasized the grotesque elements, but they were very weak in terms of story and dialogue.

The film's 135-minute runtime was also a point of discussion, as horror titles are usually much shorter. And the film's mediocre reviews (46% on RT) limited audience interest. According to WB, 56% of the audience was male, and 62% was in the 18-34 demographic.

They gave it a bad "C+" on CinemaScore, which is typical for horror. Given the heavy competition on its way, The Mummy will probably fizzle out. But it should still make it to around $35 million domestically.

An easy profit, but now Lee Cronin's name is attached to this. In fourth place, A24's The Drama has added $4.8 million, a pretty good 44% drop. That takes its domestic total to $39.6 million, and it looks to close with a little below $50 million.

Universal's You, Me & Tuscany added $3.8 million this weekend. That's a 50% drop, which is rough for a rom-com. Through 10 days, it has earned a soft $14.4 million, and it looks like the film might miss $20 million domestically.

Disney/Pixar's Hoppers eased 27%, earning $3 million. The film's domestic total stands at $161.3 million. Magnolia's action thriller Normal, starring Bob Odenkirk, flopped with just $2.5 million in 2,060 theaters.

Nowhere close to the Nobody titles, but it's not like it was expected. Despite positive reviews, audiences weren't content with the film, giving it a "C+" on CinemaScore. If it makes it past $6 million, color me surprised.

BTS World Tour Arirang made it to eighth place, with $1.8 million. A very impressive stat, considering this was playing solely on Saturday. Busboys, a comedy starring David Spade and Theo Von, made its way to $1.6 million in 800 theaters.

Rounding out the Top 10 was the Indian title Bhooth Bangla. Opening in 500 theaters, it earned $977,000 this weekend. Neon expanded Steven Soderbergh's The Christophers to 364 theaters, and it earned $610,208.

This takes its domestic total to $716,599 across limited release. A24 released David Lowery's Mother Mary, starring Anne Hathaway, in 5 theaters. It earned a pretty good $168,063.

That translates to a healthy $33,613 per-theater average, one of the year's highest PTA. It'll have a moderate expansion next week. OVERSEAS The Super Mario Galaxy Movie added $48.2 million overseas, takin
