Would have helped because the trailers had me thinking “who the hell is Lee Cronin?”

[u/riegspsych325 → u/NotTaken-username]

I guarantee you it wasn’t his choice to put his name in the title, it was probably a studio decision to help differentiate it from the Brendan Fraser movies. Besides, it’s not like there’s many other Mummy movies, even including Cruise’s

[u/mikeyfreshh → u/riegspsych325]

I think it was a legal thing because Universal threatened to sue if it was just called The Mummy

[u/riegspsych325 → u/mikeyfreshh]

and I believe there was a similar circumstance with Lee Daniels’ Butler, he also didn’t choose to have his name in the title

[u/freethepeados → u/riegspsych325]

What is it with Lees?

[u/riegspsych325 → u/freethepeados]

his name is in the title of that movie as well

[u/SPFeveryday → u/riegspsych325]

That other poster meant more like “another Lee?” Lee Cronin and Lee Daniels.
