David A. Gross, an analyst at Franchise Entertainment Research, a film industry consultancy, said that “for an action movie that has come to this stage,” such an opening result is “about average.” “.

Cruise, 61, starred in the $291 million production, performing daring stunts such as riding a motorcycle off a cliff and then skydiving.
However, the “Wall Street Journal” reported that the film grossed US$56.2 million at the North American box office during the three-day period from 14th to 16th, which is not so surprising.

The publisher denies distorting the facts; however, both Jim Cavezzo, who ran the show, and Ballard himself have embraced some of the claims of radical QAnonymous.
