The Mummy is rising from its tomb sooner than anticipated. The upcoming film, which will reunite Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz for the first time in 25 years, will carry on the legacy of the horror-tinged action adventure franchise. But for the first time, it will be exploring some unfamiliar terrain; a new page on the calendar.
The as-yet untitled Mummy 4 will now hit theaters on October 15, 2027. That’s a move of seven months up from its original release date on May 19, 2028. It’s also a change from the franchise’s previous entries; The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor were all summer releases. Tom Cruise‘s attempted Dark Universe kickoff, 2017s The Mummy, was also a would-be summer tentpole. Does this portend a more horror-oriented version of the film, in keeping with the film’s new release date in the heart of spooky season? Or was it simply a matter of the film being ahead of schedule? We’ll have to wait until next October to find out.
