$400 million domestically isn't out of the question. (deadline.com)

Also, The Mummy is a bomb. Tom Cruise is fading as a box office star. -- nm - Inigo Jun 12, 08:38 21
- Counterpoint: Tom Cruise has only been a modest box office star over his career. "Movie Star" = yes. - Will Hunting Jun 12, 08:49 7
  - He had five consecutive $100M grossers in the 90s when $100M meant something. - Roger More Jun 12, 09:48
  - And as I said over the weekend, his HSX IPO is a formula for more failure. -- nm - Spawn Jun 12, 08:56 2
    - I read that concept and I'm intrigued at least. - Will Hunting Jun 12, 09:01 1
      - I just don't think *he* is the right type for it. -- nm - Spawn Jun 12, 09:03
  - His films never had huge openings, but adjusted for inflation, he has 9 films that have grossed over $200 million. -- nm - Inigo Jun 12, 08:54 1
    - But that means they've all run out legs-wise which gets to David's point about quality. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 12, 09:03
  - He lost three years in there to Eyes Wide Shut and maybe 4 to Oprah. -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 08:53
- Contra: this easily could have been a sub 20 film without him. -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 08:48 5
  - I guess? I think The Rock, Pratt, etc..probably would have opened it a bit higher, too. - Inigo Jun 12, 09:00 3
    - I'm not even sold Pratt would have -- he had a big time chance with Passengers with the biggest female star alive - Will Hunting Jun 12, 09:02 2
      - That was largely a marketing fail. I mean, I understand why as it was not an easy movie to market. -- nm - Spawn Jun 12, 09:04 1
        
        Maybe not, but if Pratt was a box-office star, you wouldn't need more than him and JLaw's faces doing Pratt and JLaw stuff to open notably. - Will Hunting Jun 12, 09:17
  - I'd watch Cruise in a Contra vidya game movie. -- nm - Qale Jun 12, 08:50
- I'm a tom cruise fan, mostly, except for the crazy. I wouldn't go near that movie no matter who was in it. - Beryllium Jun 12, 08:42
- You could have given the role to Dwayne Johnson or Chris Pratt and I think people would have still identified it as a stinker. -- nm* - Max Jun 12, 08:39 3
  - Reminder: Universal has *9* more films in the pipe they wanted to piggyback off this -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 08:54 1
    - I'm continually amazed by how little studios understand the value of a quality film. -- nm - David Jun 12, 08:57
  - I agree with this completely. I feel like the advertising was all about the effects, not cruise. -- nm - amanda jones state university Jun 12, 08:46
- All that international $. -- nm - Shaun Jun 12, 08:39 1
  - $175 Worldwide -- nm - Remlik Jun 12, 08:50
