Big Mummy, via Variety Asia Online:

“The Mummy: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” scared up boffo numbers on its opening day in Hong Kong.

Initial reports put Thursday’s gross at HK$3,484,488 ($467,000,) but numbers were later revised upwards when the territory’s largest multiplex The Grand Cinema belatedly reported its numbers. When midnight sneak previews were added in total hit HK$3.9 million ($500,000) from 39 complexes in Hong Kong and Macau.

According to distributor Edko, total is the biggest opening day of 2008 in the territory, the biggest Thursday opening on record for a non-holiday weekend and the biggest opening day for a Universal title since U slate began to be handled by Edko.

The Mummy is one of the worst reviewed films of the year, scoring even lower than Love Guru. I guess no one gives a shit about reviews.



Unrelated to anything else, just, well, because I wanna, some of you will thank me for this
