While parts of the movie reminded me of the game I don't think it was really influenced by the game. There are a couple of reasons for this. The Mummy was released in 1999 before D2 came out. The Mummy Returns was released in 2001. Most movies take at least a year to create from conception to script to filming to production. So, while the end of the Mummy Returns could have been the Flayer Jungle I don't think D2 had any influence on it.
The other reason is that Egyptian mythology has a lot of the elements that the Mummy movies built on. Sure the movies took a lot of liberties, but much of it was there already.
Just my thoughts, the movie does remind me of the game, but I don't think either influenced the other, I think they were both influenced by the same older mythos.

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.
