Tom Cruise’s Knight and Day Flops
LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Tom Cruise’ Knight and Day was a boxoffice flop this weekend. Tom Cruise’s Knight and Day was his worse action film weekend boxoffice opening weekend in two decades.
The highly advertised action film failed to finish first this weekend, ending up third behind a comedy and an animation film. Toy Story 3 continued its success with a first place finish at $59 million. Its two week total now stands at an enormous $227 million. Adam Sander & Co impressed. His opener of “Grown Ups” amid great reviews for Sandler and co-stars – Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider – pulled $41 million.
Cruise opened third with a meek $21 million.

long before the couch, the ‘glib’, the brooke shields, the scientology tape leak, cruise was losing his box office appeal; as his films in general were costing more, but bringing in less at the box office. cruise has had an amazing career. he was a top ten box office draw for 20 years! out of those 20 years he was number one 7 times which is more than any other star ever. for some reason the media (again in general) has decided that now is the time for his comeback and that This is the film to propel that comeback, but the public is in rejection of that notion. the media seems bent on shoving cruise down everyone’s throat and the public (in general) is merely regurgitating hollywood’s hard sell. cruise will continue to be a star. he will continue to have a career, but the truth is he just isn’t the star he once was. 20 years with 7 at number one that is an incredible run. just how big is the hole in cruise’s ego that he must continue to win or at least attempt to win the attention of the public? how much reaffirmation and ego stroking does he need? when will hollywood realize that their plastic, manufactured star/golden boy has run his course?
