Seriously, why didn't Universal just call this film TOM CRUISE starring The Mummy?

I guess the studio still hasn't learned their lesson that the Universal Movie Monster universe doesn't need Tom "nothing against the guy" Cruise plastered all over its marketing materials. But that horse is long dead so let's stop beating on the poor bastard.

Today we have news that THE MUMMY will be hitting Digital August 22nd and 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD and On Demand September 12th. The discs will feature more than an hour of never-before-seen bonus features, which I have listed out below.

THE MUMMY synopsis:

Thought safely entombed deep beneath the desert, an ancient princess whose destiny was unjustly taken from her is awakened in our current day. Her malevolence has grown over millennia and with it come terrors that defy human comprehension. From the sands of the Middle East through modern-day London, The Mummy balances wonder, thrills, and imagination.
