Tom Cruise goes full action hero for Mission: Impossible Final Reckoning
Hold onto your popcorn! Tom Cruise is back, and this time, he’s not just running, jumping off waves of ocean water, or hanging on airplane wings, but no, he’s hanging onto screens because he’s that much of an action star, not a movie star, an action star in the real world.
That’s right! Tom “No Stunt is Too Crazy” Cruise has turned into Tom “Give me all the screens” Cruise. In the latest (and perhaps final, but we’ll see) chapter of Mission: Impossible Final Reckoning, Mr. Cruise is reported to have locked down an amazing number of screens in the Western world. It’s essentially the Wild West era, but instead of pulling guns from his holster, he’s pulling contracts from his jacket.
Last year, we had Barbenheimer Barbie and Oppenheimer fighting for screens and popcorn. Now, it’s Cruisenado Season. Rumor is, he wasn’t happy last year with other blockbusters on the big screen.
This time, there are no issues; he’s going to make sure Final Reckoning gets the attention and has NO screen time competition. He’s taking them ALL.
Let’s be honest. They’re calling it Final Reckoning, but with Hollywood, in a few years, we will have Finaler Reckoning, Reckoning Reloaded, or Mission: We Swear It is the Final Reckoning. But if Tom wants to dangle from helicopters in 3D at 70 years old, good for him.
The guy is unstoppable. And evidently, so is his marketing team, who have turned this release into a movie land-grab: We now have the West officially under Cruise control.
When an actor like Tom Cruise goes into the cinema business, he does not act; he owns. For Mission: Impossible Final Reckoning, he is not only performing once-in-a-lifetime stunt work, he’s executing the largest theft of cinema this year, and no popcorn kernels were harmed.
Like him or fear him, one thing is certain: Tom Cruise is on a mission, and it may be unstoppable ​.
