Has anyone seen the new Mummy movie yet, ...if so, ...good, bad, indifferent?

My son works at a movie theater.  He saw 30 minutes of it and says it's completely stupid.

My daughter watched it and thought it was okay.  Said it wasn't as good as the first two.  Missed Rachel Weisz.

I watched it yesterday...WORSE than Indiana Jones and so fucking cheesy it's hard to stay seated.

Hmmm, ...this is surprising. I hear the Mummy is beating out The Dark Knight in overseas markets.

Universal's "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" triumphed at the international boxoffice over the weekend, seizing the No. 1 spot for the second consecutive stanza with an estimated $56.1 million from 6,453 screens in 49 territories.

The China-set adventure thriller has nearly doubled its domestic gross to date, racking up an overseas cume so far of $141.1 million. Finishing No. 1 in 16 of 22 new territories, "Mummy" racked up notably muscular debut tallies in France ($5 million from 572 sites), Germany ($6.6 million from 650 locations) and Taiwan ($3.6 million from just 91 locations for an amazing per-screen average of $39,560).

"Mummy" easily bested the weekend's No. 2 title, Warners' "The Dark Knight," which registered $35.1 million from 7,000 screens in 56 markets. The latest Batman adventure has grossed $263.1 million overseas so far, a sum far outpaced by its domestic cume of $441.5 million.
