Latest Tom Cruise film
They spent 100 million just marketing it
With Tm Cruise looking unrecognisable beneath layers of make-up as the insane oil tycoon, through to the directorial credentials of Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu (who already has an Oscar on his shelf for Birdman), this one looked like a surefire contender for box office and awards glory.
In fact, following its less than auspicious debut last weekend bagging just $8m (£6m) in the US — four times less than Anne Hathaway’s psycho-thriller Verity, which also debuted — The Wrap reports that the movie could lose as much as $250m (£189m) by the time it’s finished its run.
As for Cruise himself, the actor said: ‘When I am making [movies], I’m not going, “Opening weekend!” I feel very much like we’re going to make something that is a lasting piece of cinema.
‘They transcend… you just hope you can make a film that can last.’
I was looking forward to it but a seems to be a movie that seems pretentious like it is making a grand social statement with humor but the whole thing falls flat
