THE MUMMY RETURNS Gets 25th Anniversary Theatrical Release

by

And here’s the official synopsis for this classic blockbuster, along with the new poster art:

Ten years after the first movie, The Mummy Returns takes place in 1933. Our adventurous heroes, Rick and Evelyn O’Connell, are now married with an eight-year-old son named Alex, and living in London. They bring Alex with them on their trips to Egypt, where they accidentally discover a valuable artifact called the Bracelet of Anubis. This bracelet once belonged to the Scorpion King (played by Dwayne Johnson in his first major movie role) and has the power to control his army of fierce, jackal-headed warriors.

Things really hit the fan when we’re back in London! This bracelet gets stuck on Alex’s wrist, and then Evelyn gets snatched by this crazy cult trying to bring back Imhotep, the mummy. Suddenly, it’s up to her father and brother – and me, watching the movie, of course! – to rescue her. We’re thrown into this insane adventure with Evelyn’s brother, who honestly, is a bit of a handful. But the real threat is this woman, Meela Nais, who’s basically Imhotep’s ancient lover come back to life. She wants him to win this battle against the Scorpion King and take over the world! It’s non-stop action – crazy chases, brutal fights, even some seriously creepy ritual stuff. The O’Connells are fighting for their lives, and for the whole world, trying to stop everything from falling apart. It’s a wild ride!

Released in 1999, The Mummy unexpectedly became a blockbuster, earning over $417 million globally. It achieved this despite competing with huge films like The Phantom Menace and The Matrix that same summer. The film’s success launched a franchise, and expectations were high for the 2001 sequel, The Mummy Returns, which also became a major hit. Now you have a chance to experience it again on the big screen with some popcorn! Tickets for The Mummy Returns’ re-release are available on Fandango – click here to purchase.
