Tom Cruise had a bad Friday, the third day of release for Knight and Day. The film made $6.35 million, versus over $14.5 million for Adam Ssndler s Grown Ups. The former film took three days to make a little less than what the latter did in one night.
Cruise was never a huge box office draw on his own. His biggest hits, The Firm, Rain Man, and A Few Good Men, were ensemble pieces sutton place hotel vancouver with talented supporting casts and well thought out, well executed scripts.
Cruise s big films were always the franchise entries: the Mission Impossible series, sutton place hotel vancouver the Bruckheimer films. Eyes Wide Shut was a financial disaster. Steven Spielberg batted .500 with him Minority sutton place hotel vancouver Report did about $135, War of the Worlds about $235 million.
In his long resume, only Jerry Maguire stands out as an artistic and commercial achievement with $152 million and a Cruise Oscar nom. It s Cruise s best film, hands down. His other Best Actor Oscar nomination was for Born on the Fourth of July. It brought in only took in $79 mil.
Knight and Day may crawl out of the weekend with around $22 million for five days. That number pays Cruise s salary. This is a $100 million film, so this daunting result is considered trouble. Will it make Paramount reconsider Mission: Impossible 4 ? I don t think so. But for that project to work, the movie cannot be a star vehicle. sutton place hotel vancouver Paramount should revert to the real MI premise of a team working together. Get a great cast of newer actors sutton place hotel vancouver and one hot old timer, and surround Tom so that the film is not dependent on him. Otherwise, the mission may very well be impossible.

Hey buddie, am just on the net search few info and encountered your page. I am engraved by the posts that you own on this blog. It manifests how well you grasp this subject. Bookmarked this page, will come back for further. You, my friend, ROll!!!
If a woman isn t as svelte as a porpoise, she s long in the tooth. To Cassie, and a lot of casting directors, the test of an actor is whether a dime bounces off a female s backside! Yet men aren t sliced up by that old saw.
Thankfully, hundreds of successful sutton place hotel vancouver movies prove Cassie s oft-voiced sentiment to be as off-target commercially as it is morally. Yet when looks slide downhill, getting work becomes a struggle uphill.
The sotto voce messages Hollywood sends us become the unconscious norms and criteria that millions of young men and women internalize. They will act upon these someday in their hiring, investing, choosing business allies, even deciding which vendor to work with.
No surprise here that Knight and Day is a bomb. Nobody wants to see the same recycled Tom Cruise action plot again. And Cameron Diaz is getting long in the tooth by Hollywood standards, and really, she s done NOTHING of note either that would draw anyone in to the theaters to see her either.
Roger, I walked out of Winter s Bone (boring unsuspenseful) and walked into the last hour of K D, and I must say the two actors were engaging esp. Cameron Diaz who had a lot of dialog and screen time. But from what little I saw, it wasn t a movie I would pay for and you re right, Tom works best with an ensemble cast.
