Lee Cronin's horror reimagining of The Mummy, backed by producers James Wan and Jason Blum, hits theaters April 17 via Warner Bros., just after its Los Angeles premiere on April 9. Directed by the Evil Dead Rise filmmaker (84% Tomatometer), the supernatural thriller follows a journalist whose daughter vanishes in the desert and returns transformed eight years later, promising extreme body horror and gore. Early reactions from screenings hail it as a "nasty, disgusting gore-fest" and Cronin's most terrifying yet, appealing to horror die-hards, though broader critic consensus awaits review embargo lift. Traders eye initial Rotten Tomatoes scores amid Cronin's strong track record, with volatility possible from polarized genre reception before wide opening weekend tracking.
