Early word regarding the release today of the Tom Cruise starring The Mummy is decidedly negative.  The film at this moment rates a low 20% positive among critics over at Rottentomatoes and, frankly, with each new trailer released, I’m finding myself less and less interested in seeing it… though I will grant you I was kinda “iffy” about catching it in first run/theatrical in the first place.

I’ll be curious to see, in the wake of the big success of Wonder Woman’s premiere last week, if this film manages to knock it off its #1 perch.  My guess is it won’t.

The bigger question is: Will this film wind up being a flop?

Assuming this is the case (and, even if it is not), Tom Cruise already has a trailer for his next film, American Made.  Here it is:

Now I don’t know about you, but this looks far more interesting, IMHO, than The Mummy.  Looks to be along the lines of a Wolf of Wall Street-type film, ie the darker side of our Nation and capitalism.

Will I catch this movie in theaters?  I don’t know.  As interesting as this looks, I’m not that into watching these types of dark comedies.  On the other hand, if the reviews are good…
