Seems to me like the overseas box office will carry it to modest profitability. But it also seems equally clear that Tom Cruise is not as bankable as he once was.

Indeed I have a lot of doubt about the box office pulling power of movie stars. Some of the biggest movies of all time don't have a single A-list celebrity in them. I think an A-list celebrity can help sometimes, but in general I think the financial benefit of their presence in a movie is overstated.
