The Mummy was old school successful with 400 million box office plus whatever DVD and VHS sales/rentals were (this was the first DVD of like half of my friends). With inflation, that's 600 million dollar box office which is mediocre in this era of billion dollar franchises. What I was saying is he would easily be leading a billion dollar franchise if he was a 30 year old in 2023. He would be Chris Pratt or upper billing of fast and furious or something.

Actually, I think he was a weird mixture of too pretty and too funny/goofy. Had he come around later, he would have been a Chris Pratt (which he basically already was if you compare Mummy and Jurassic World). If there was a time machine or something that could make him 30 again, I think he would have had a bigger career now. His humor and looks could literally be used in any current, big franchise.
