Hollywood’s Franchise Leak Epidemic
The Mummy 4’s soul revival comes amid rampant online leaks in major franchises (think Marvel, Stranger Things). Studios now carefully guard plot details to dodge piracy and spoilers especially after 2017’s botched Dark Universe rollout. Universal’s new strategy: tap nostalgia, keep details secret, and let revival buzz fuel marketing. Can The Mummy 4 battle the leak monster and win?
It’s anyone’s guess whether plot leaks could sink The Mummy 4’s box office, but early buzz suggests fans crave this real deal comeback more than ever. Will viral hype and Fraser mania fuel record ticket sales, or will Hollywood’s spoiler culture haunt Universal? One thing's for sure as long as Fraser’s cracking jokes and dodging ancient curses, the adventure is far from buried.
