'The Invisible Man' resurrects Universal's monster movies with a strategy that's more DC than Marvel

"The Invisible Man," which hit theaters on Friday, is the first monster movie from Universal Pictures since its "Dark Universe" crashed and burned.

"The Mummy" disappointed at the box office, raking in $80 million domestically and $409 million worldwide off of a $125 million budget before marketing costs. It put an early end to Universal's initial Dark Universe plans. After DC's answer to "The Avengers," "Justice League," disappointed at the box office, Warner Bros. rethought its DC movie strategy and is now focusing more on standalone stories like "Joker" and the upcoming "The Batman." The new direction has led to major box-office success.

Starting with "The Invisible Man," instead of a universe of connected movies, Universal plans to reboot its collection of classic monsters with a focus on filmmakers' visions.
