Lee Cronin’s ‘The Mummy’ Sets July Streaming Debut on Max
Horror enthusiasts will soon be able to experience Lee Cronin’s latest supernatural vision from the comfort of their homes. Warner Bros. Discovery has announced that Lee Cronin’s The Mummy is scheduled to make its streaming debut on Max (formerly HBO Max) on July 3. The supernatural horror film, which originally debuted in theaters on April 17 under the New Line Cinema banner, transitions to the small screen just in time for the July 4th holiday weekend, offering subscribers a premier summer fright.
Written and directed by Cronin, the film represents the filmmaker's highly anticipated follow-up to his 2023 box office hit Evil Dead Rise, which grossed over $146 million worldwide and cemented his reputation as one of modern horror’s most formidable directors. Under Cronin’s direction, this project departs from the action-adventure tropes often associated with the classic monster IP, opting instead for a claustrophobic, psychologically taxing, and intensely supernatural atmosphere that aligns with his signature visceral filmmaking style.
Key Details and Cast
To help horror fans prepare for the upcoming digital release, here is a quick overview of the production:
- Director & Writer: Lee Cronin (Evil Dead Rise, The Hole in the Ground)
- Theatrical Release Date: April 17
- Streaming Release Date: July 3 on Max
- Production Studio: New Line Cinema
- Key Cast Members:
- Jack Reynor (Midsommar)
- Laia Costa (Victoria)
- May Calamawy (Moon Knight)
- Natalie Grace (Siren)
- Verónica Falcón (Ozark, Queen of the South)
The July 3 streaming date aligns with Warner Bros. Discovery’s ongoing strategy of maintaining an exclusive theatrical window of approximately 75 days before migrating mid-budget genre titles to its flagship streaming platform. For New Line Cinema—a studio long synonymous with groundbreaking horror franchises like The Conjuring and A Nightmare on Elm Street—the film represents another strategic addition to its rich library of terror. Industry analysts expect the title to perform exceptionally well on Max, as horror continues to be one of the most resilient and highly-streamed genres on digital platforms.
