John Marston Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Nobody said audiences are rational. Tom Cruise has done quite a few movies over the past couple years and it dilutes his brand. Making two sci fi films within a year does not help, especially when the quality has been hit and miss comparatively to his glory years. it's not like his recent films have been panned or anything.

Ozymandias Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I watched Oblivion last weekend.I found the climax incredibly dark.Anyone have any ideas about the movie's symbolism?I'm pretty sure the movie has alot to say about women, but I'm not sure what. It says that as Tom Cruise gets older, the women stay the same age. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 200m locked for Male ? 200m + 400m = 600m WW, a breakout of the year.Almost as big as a B-list superhero in MCU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a2k Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I did not get that EoT would be funny from the promos. They were all serious. That seems to have been one of the problems. Haven't seen the movie but if it's funny like members here have mentioned, then that angle should have been promoted. Unless it's funny in a specific context that the promos would fail to capture.

MrPink Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) it's not like his recent films have been panned or anything. Far from it No, but they're not exactly great either. Movies like Rock of Ages and Jack Reacher/Oblivion to a lesser extent do not help him, especially when they're bunched up in a 2 year span. They wouldn't necessarily hurt him either, but audiences are simply rejecting Cruise in the action hero role, partly because of him, partly because they're decent at best, and partly because it's too much People can blame WB all they want, but it's not just marketing. It's symptomatic of a deeper issue in my opinion. A stigma for Cruise. Edited June 7, 2014 by MrPink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kowhite Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Do you think audiences are justified for reacting that way?Seems like it was short sighted to ignore EoT just because it's another Tom Cruise sci-fi flick.The mainstream audience often overlooks quality for silly reasons.But...such is the box office. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
