Clearly, Cruise isn’t quite the level of star he once was, at least from a box office perspective.
Tom Cruise has now had #1 box-office hits in five consecutive decades, from the 1980s to the 2020s.
At that point, Cruise will be well into his 60s, having spent most of his previous 15 years churning out action pictures.
With Top Gun: Maverick, Cruise has had a number one movie at the U.S. box office in five consecutive decades starting in the 1980s, and continuing through the ’90s, 2000s, 2010s and now the 2020s.
