Unfortunately The Mummy 2017 received a lot of negative reviews and even eight nominations at the 38th Golden Raspberry Awards (a mock award for the worst in film). The film was nominated for Worst Picture, Worst Director for Kurtzman, Worst Actor for Tom Cruise, Worst Supporting Actor for Russell Crowe and Worst Supporting Actress for Boutella. Even though it grossed $409 million worldwide, it was a box office bomb as it had production and marketing costs.

While filming the plane crash scene for The Mummy 2017, production used The Vomit Comet and parabolic flight in order to simulate the illusion of weightlessness. In total, the crew did 64 takes and most of them became sick to their stomachs. Initially, director Alex Kurtzman ordered that they shoot the scene using wires and a rotating set, however Tom Cruise insisted on doing it as real as possible, so Kurtzman changed his mind.
