I'm no expert, but $48 million is a lot of fucking money. What's with all the "bomb" talk?
I fucking hate Tom Cruise, but I'm not deluded enough to think the guy isn't the biggest single box office draw in the world.
48 million is a bomb when you look at previous Tom Cruise openings, previous MI openings, previous openings for the first weekend in May and previous openings for movies of this genre.
I love Tom Cruise, but this opening is a big dissapointment.
Err, I don't know if it is that big of a dissapointment.
