Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb 2014
The film opens in 1938 Egypt, where a young boy (later revealed to be the father of Ahkmenrah) and a team of archaeologists uncover the Tablet of Ahkmenrah, a magical artifact that has the power to bring museum exhibits to life. When they disturb the tomb, a curse is hinted at, but the tablet is taken anyway.📰 Highlights from Critics The Guardian (2/5 stars):“A joyless, mechanical finale... even Robin Williams can’t lift it much.” Time Magazine:“Only the surreal M.C. Escher staircase scene stands out… the rest feels like museum fatigue.” The New York Times:“Earnest but uninspired… a gentle, often somber farewell — particularly in Williams’ scenes.” Empire Magazine (3/5 stars):“Undemanding fun, with a few inspired set pieces. Ends the trilogy on a sweet if forgettable note.”📺 Where to Watch Jio Hotstar (Disney+ partnership) streaming with HD/4K quality, runtime ~98–99 minutes. Cartoons’ rating: U/A 7+.The film is also available on platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video (for rent), and Apple TV+ depending on region.💰 Box Office Performance Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb grossed approximately $363.2 million worldwide during its theatrical run. This total comprises $113.7 million from North America and around $249.5 million from international markets. Compared to the earlier films in the trilogy, it earned less globally: Night at the Museum (2006): $574.5 million worldwide Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009): $413.1 million worldwide.✅ Conclusion In the emotional final act, Larry and the team succeed in restoring the Tablet of Ahkmenrah by reuniting it with Pharaoh Merenkahre in the British Museum. The exhibits’ magic is revived, allowing them to live again — but they choose to stay in London to protect the tablet and prevent future decay. Larry returns to New York and decides to let go of the nighttime job, passing on his duties. The film ends with a celebratory museum event where exhibits from both museums come alive in public for the first time — a joyful, magical scene that brings closure to the trilogy. The final moments are especially poignant: Larry sees Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams) one last time. Roosevelt gives a heartfelt farewell speech, saying, “Smile, my boy. It’s sunrise.” This serves as a symbolic goodbye to both the character and Robin Williams himself.
