After that it was"Mission: Impossible — Fallout" with $61 million in 2018. It's not that his films don't make money in the long run: They just aren't enormously frontloaded.
The build up has been just as flashy, with fighter-jet-adorned premieres on an aircraft carrier in San Diego and at the Cannes Film Festival, where Cruise was also given an honorary Palme d'Or, and a royal premiere in London attended by Prince William and his wife Kate. "This solidifies the notion that the movie theater is a singular and a vitally important outlet for people," Dergarabedian said."People are looking for a great escape from everything that's going on in the world right now."

'Clearly, we need to make it far easier to confine the violent and mentally deranged into mental institutions,' Trump said in a speech at a convention in Houston of the National Rifle Association, a gun rights advocacy group.
