‘The Mummy Returns’ Will Re-Release in Theaters This March; Watch the New Trailer Now
Rejoice, fans of The Mummy Returns, because Imhotep awakens again in theaters this March! And to celebrate the 25th anniversary event, Universal Pictures has released a brand new trailer celebrating the sequel to the 1999 classic.
The trailer comes just one week after the announcement that stars Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz will return to the Mummy franchise for a new film releasing May 19th, 2028.
“Set 10 years after the events of the first film, The Mummy Returns picks up in 1933 with the swashbuckling heroes now married and living in London. Parents to eight-year-old Alex (Freddie Boath), the couple brings the boy along to their Egyptian expeditions, where they inadvertently uncover a rare artifact, the Bracelet of Anubis. The piece once belonged to a fearsome warrior known as the Scorpion King (Dwayne Johnson in his feature film debut) and can be used to command his army of jackal-like fighters.
A gleeful ode to the spirit of Saturday morning serials, the PG-13 adventure was filled with bombast and eye-popping visual effects. Storming into theaters May 4, 2001, The Mummy Returns collected upwards of $68.1 million in its opening weekend at the North American box office. It went on to bring in $435 million worldwide, ranking as the seventh highest-grossing film of 2001.
The Mummy Returns begins its nationwide theatrical re-release on March 27th. Tickets can be purchased here.
