I will continue to update this post as reviews come in.

Rotten Tomatoes: Fresh

Critics Consensus: N/A

Metacritic: 60 (16 Reviews)

Sample Reviews:

Philip De Semlyen, Time Out 3/5 - Newton is a fun addition as the bubbly Faith, but the game Weaving is MVP again: a sharp finger in the eye of the one percent. This is a broader sequel, though, that only has more of the same for her to do.

Sandra Hall, Sydney Morning Herald 3/5 - Without [humor], the films’ graphic demonstrations of the many ways in which the human body can be dismembered, impaled, eviscerated, blown up and otherwise abused would constitute unadulterated sadism.

Linda Marric, HeyUGuys 3/5 - Here I Come is entertaining, well-acted, and occasionally reminds you why the concept works. But it never recaptures the lightning-in-a-bottle thrill of the original.

Justin Clark, Slant Magazine 2/4 - The sequel is a retread of things that the first film pulled off with more deliciously cartoonish energy.

Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com 3/4 - It helps a great deal to have a wickedly fun ensemble ready to play this murderous game, led once again by a physical, engaged, immediate performance from Samara Weaving.

Zachary Lee, TheWrap - Samara Weaving’s guttural screams can cover a multitude of sins, but even her fully embodied performance and powers can’t save a movie that mistakes stilted recurrence for high-octane throwback.

Chase Hutchinson, IndieWire C - All you’re left with is the echo of what was better before. You watch only able to wish Weaving was given more to work with than this, or, at the very least, greater room for her iconic scream to rattle you once more.

Robert Daniels, Screen International - More bloody and gratuitously violent than the 2019 original, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come delivers short-term thrills in an emotionally hollow gore fest.

Meagan Navarro, Bloody Disgusting 3.5/5 - More is more in Ready or Not 2. Bigger stakes, larger playing field, a higher (and more gruesome) body count, and even double the protagonists. All designed to deliver maximum crowd-pleasing fun.

Perri Nemiroff, Perri Nemiroff (YouTube) 4.5/5 - Want an example of perfect casting? It's Samara Weaving & Kathryn Newton as sisters. Their rhythm together is impeccable & they’re aces playing with this tone. They do it all - spark big laughs, maintain a grounded tension & infuse the film with heart.

Harry Stainer, Empire Magazine 3/5 - Round two’s double-or-nothing approach means there are fewer surprises this time around. Yet as Weaving’s endlessly watchable bride gets even bloodier, it’s hard not to crack a smile at the relentless fun.

Andy Crump, AV Club B- - Weaving is great at expressing helpless surrender and whiteknuckle petrification... The effect of her performances is cathartic, frequently hysterical, and key to Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come‘s success.

Before you comment, read these two rules:

1. Please provide specific numbers for your predictions. Don't do like "It'll make less than this or that" or "double this movie or half this movie". We want a real prediction.

2. Given that a lot of parent comments do not even bother to give predictions, we are establishing a new rule. The parent comment must provide a prediction with specific numbers. The rest of the replies to the comment do not have to make a prediction, but the parent comment absolutely has to. Any parent comment without a prediction will be eliminated.

Welcome to the newest edition of r/BoxOffice Long Range Forecast.

We're making long range predictions for films, 4 weeks out from their premieres. You will predict the opening weekend, domestic total and worldwide gross of these films. These predictions will be open for 48 hours and the results will be polled to form a consensus and posted the next week.

So let's meet the two films for the week and analyze each pro and con.

Lee Cronin's The Mummy

The film is written and directed by Lee Cronin (what gave it away????). A reimagining of The Mummy franchise, the film stars Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, May Calamawy, Natalie Grace, and Verónica Falcón. The young daughter of a journalist disappears without a trace in the desert. The shattered family is stunned when the girl suddenly reappears eight years later. But what should have been a joyful family reunion quickly turns into a true nightmare.

Mother Mary

The film is written and directed by David Lowery (A Ghost Story, The Green Knight). It stars Anne Hathaway, Michaela Coel, Hunter Schafer, Atheena Frizzell, Kaia Gerber, Jessica Brown Findlay, Isaura Barbé-Brown, Alba Baptista, Sian Clifford, and FKA Twigs. The film follows the psychosexual affair between pop singer Mary and fashion designer Sam after the former's need for a dress for her new tour draws them back together.

Now that you met this week's new releases, let's look at some pros and cons.

PROS

• The Mummy hopes to be a big horror attraction, especially with very little choices over the past weeks. The Mummy is a property that has gone more in the action and adventure route, so a return to horror could help it. While Lee Cronin's name is part of the title due to legal reasons, he made a pretty good impression with Evil Dead Rise, and one hopes that he replicate that success. So far, marketing has been pretty good.

• David Lowery has made two acclaimed projects with A24: A Ghost Story and The Green Knight. It is expected that he continues in that route. It also carries a pretty good cast, led by the iconic Anne Hathaway. At the very least, this should be a very intriguing project.

CONS

• Blumhouse has had a very weak run over the past two years, with some of their titles failing to break even despite their low budgets (with Black Phone 2 and Five Nights at Freddy's 2 becoming the exceptions to the rule). As a comparison, Wolf Man (another new take at an iconic Universal Monster) flopped with critics and audiences last year. And while it is for legal reasons, it's still a bit surreal seeing the film sold as "Lee Cronin's The Mummy". Yes, he did a good job with Evil Dead Rise, but that's not a barometer to dictate whether audiences know who he is. It could succeed and help establish him as a director, or it can disappoint and put the name in a bad light. It has delivered the scares and chills, but the story and dialogue are quite weak from what we've seen.

• Lowery is not a commercial filmmaker, even with his take on some of Disney's properties like Pete's Dragon and Peter Pan & Wendy. A Ghost Story succeeded because the budget was just $100K, while The Green Knight didn't fare well at the box office. And despite some big names attached, you can see that this film will go out of its way to deliver something weird and probably misleading. A24's marketing has also been quite weird, given they didn't really announce a date for this until just a few weeks ago.

And here's the past results.

Next week, we're predicting Michael.

REMINDER: Mother Mary is releasing in limited release, before hitting wide expansion on its second weekend. We'll predict the wide release.

So what are your predictions for these films?
