But it’s not just here that the film is a hit, in the United States, it’s the same thing, since the film manages to generate 124 million dollars in a single weekend, becoming the best launch of a Tom Cruise movie of his entire career.
According to some forecasts, this score should reach 151 million dollars at the end of this Monday, May 30, the date of the long weekend of Memorial Day in the United States. By adding up the scores made where the film is already screened, it’s already 260 million dollars raised, knowing that the film cost 170 million dollars to produce (not counting the marketing campaign).
