Nice cherry picking. Let's look at the domestic box office (the subject of this discussion) for his most recent movies (since 2007) with domestic gross and production budget: 11/9/07 Lions for Lambs $15,002,854 $35 million12/25/08 Valkyrie $83,077,833 $75 million 6/23/10 Knight & Day $76,423,035 $117 million 12/16/11 Ghost Protocol $209,397,903 $145 million 6/15/12 Rock of Ages $38,518,613 $75 million 12/21/12 Jack Reacher $80,070,736 $60 million 4/19/13 Oblivion $89,107,235 $120 million 6/6/14 Edge of Tomorrow $28,760,246 $178 million Besides MI: Ghost Protocol, these are all bombs. And this is only production budget, add in the marketing budget and it's really ugly. The fact that you had to add in the international grosses to make your point just proves that you have no leg to stand on. Cruise is on the decline in the US. Most people don't want to support a Scientology whackjob, it's that simple. |
Kinda a contridiction there bud. If you knew anything about movies then you'd know that just about 80% of movies depend on international markets to make a profit. To say that only domestic numbers should count as any indication of a movie success is absoutely ridiculous and you should be ashamed of yourself for even mentioning it. It's blatantly obvious that youre just incredibly butthurt and bias agains TC. Either way there's just one thing you need to get through your head. He's has hits for 4 decades now. He's already a legend. Nothing will change that, it can't be taken away, and he will continue to make great succesful films despite efforts by butthurt people like you. To think Domestic box office is all that matters is such a narrow minded mentality.
I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.
