But Tom Cruise is not. So much anyway.
Toy Story 3 was again tops at the box office for the second week in a row with an estimated $59 million for the second weekend raising its domestic total to an estimated $226.6 million.
Adam Sandler’s ‘Grown-Up’s” came in at second place with a respectable $41 million.
And the Tom Cruise/Cameron Diaz film “Knight and Day” came in with the worst results for a Tom Cruise action movie in the past 20 years. And while many are blaming his poor results on his couch-jumping, undying love declarations for Katie Holmes on Oprah’s couch from 4 years back maybe the real reason is that we’re just getting sick of Tom Cruise. The fact is that none of his latest movies have even come close to his heyday’s of “Top Gun” or even “Cocktail” (well, maybe “Cocktail” is an exaggeration but some of us loved that movie). Anyway, will he recover….or not. Apparently, “Knight and Day” is not his ticket.
However, “Knight and Day” came in at third over the weekend with $27.8 million following a Wednesday release (so the truth is that they even had two extra days, weekdays but extra nevertheless).
“Knight and Day” had a production budget of about $107 million so at this point they are operating at a serious loss. They may still be able to make it up, though but early returns are not looking good.
“Karate Kid” and “The A-Team” came in at fourth and fifth respectively.
