My man STILL has it! :love


Tom Cruise's 'Mission: Impossible 6' Tops Box Office With $10M Friday

https%3A%2F%2Fblogs-images.forbes.com%2Fscottmendelson%2Ffiles%2F2018%2F07%2FMI6C-1200x675.jpg


Staying at the top of the weekend box office charts proved to be a not-so-mission: difficult for Paramount/Viacom Inc.'s Mission: Impossible – Fallout. The acclaimed and buzzy Tom Cruise /Rebecca Ferguson/Henry Cavill action sequel earned another $9.9 million (-57%) to bring its eight-day total to $99.3m domestic. Yes, it will pass $100m by the end of this sentence and should earn around $35m (-43%) to bring its ten-day cume to $124.4m. That’s a strong second-weekend gross and a superb hold.

Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation fell 48% on its second weekend, and the estimated 43% drop puts it in the same league as (relatively speaking) Black Panther and Wonder Woman. It’s on par with the 42% drop for the equally well-reviewed/buzzy Edge of Tomorrow. That sci-fi flick cost too much ($175m) so its $100m domestic/$375m global total was a disappointment, but it still topped 3.4x its $29m debut over its domestic run. Rogue Nation eventually earned 3.5x its $55.5m debut weekend.

Point being, if we’re looking at best-case-scenarios for big-budget Tom Cruise movies, those would be the two flicks I’d pick, specifically among those that didn’t open over the Christmas season (sorry Ghost Protocol and Jack Reacher). And unless The Meg goes bonkers next weekend, it does appear that Fallout will do what Rogue Nation did three summers ago, namely open big in late July and then run the tables over the rest of the summer alongside Straight Outta Compton.


This is a terrific hold for a terrific movie, and it’s now almost inevitable that the movie will end its domestic run over $200 million. If it merely runs like Rogue Nation from this point onward (1.81x its ten-day total), we’re looking at a $224m domestic cume. Anything leggier than that, and it’ll be bigger than Fate of the Furious ($226m in 2017) in North America. And yeah, it’s probably going to zoom past Ant-Man and the Wasp ($210m) and Solo ($215m) to become the summer’s fifth-biggest domestic earner.

It's a long-shot, but it could sneak past War of the Worlds ($234 million in 2005) to become Tom Cruise's biggest domestic earner of all time. None of that accounts for inflation, but we'll cross that bridge when we get a better idea of its domestic finish. If it can withstand Warner Bros./Time Warner Inc.'s The Meg and STX Entertainment's Mile 22, it won't have much action competition until Jennifer Garner's Peppermint (also STX) and Fox's The Predator in mid-September. By the way, Monday is the 25th anniversary of The Fugitive and the 19th anniversary of The Sixth Sense. Fancy that...

People put way too much importance on financial success...the fact that he is good at what he does and makes good money from it is nothing for anyone but him to celebrate....

Yes he is. I will let him know how much you appreciate him and the movie when I meet up with him later.

Tom has become a hit or miss. He had a few movies under perform in recent years. He had a movie finish out at 2nd place behind Madea boo movie. And the whole mummy movie was a mistake. But when you got a strong franchise, stick with it and keep making those movies. Others need to learn from him. At this point, make 20 of those dumb movies you gross triple the budget.

Um a gave facts so how u skeptical about the damn truth you silly person @TobiasBlkChick

I do genuinely think of him as a great star. He does have immense screen presence and charisma, so much so that I often forget about him being crazy as hell in real life whenever I watch his films lmao.

It's the action packed franchise that's a guaranteed hit, not Tom.
Tom Cruise is the reason TONS of movie goers go to pay to see the MI films though. If he passed the torch to say Jeremy Renner , you think it'll be even close to being as successful??? I don't think so at all.

Plus Tom is the one that does all these crazy stunts in it. People love that sh!t!

I loved the movie! Great action flick. Tom was born to be a movie star.

He and Angela Bassett were two of the oldest actors on set, but looked better than most of the younger cast.

Really?? I don't know anyone who said it sucks....It was better than The Equalizer
Me and my girlfriend were bored. The last scene between Tom and Henry - I was praying Ethan got tossed over the cliff. What a fµck!n' stupid mis en scene that was.

That bathroom brawl was glorious up until Ethel/Etta/Emily WTF ever that woman assassin's name was fµcked it up.

Now Equalizer did have a fµck!n massive plot hole but otherwise it was a decent summer movie.

Question: Did the woman playing Ethan's wife have a stroke? One side of her lower right face looked frozen solid.

Hahaha.....Its funny you mentioned it her face barely moved. I didn't see the MI film where she was introduced . I don't recall seeing her in Ghost Protocol either

The fight scene in the bathroom was so badass. That dude getting punched by Henry Cavill who by the way was so buffed for the film.... One punch should've cracked his ribs. Loved the mustache

The helicopter scene I thought was pretty cool but predictable

Tom Cruise is so weird and off-putting in real life but I love him as an actor.
















I even saw The Mummy in theaters. :unsure:

What happened to the actress that played Elisa? She aged so much from Rouge Nation, plus she got too skinny. Maybe losing so much weight caused her face to look haggard.
