When it comes to an actor whose films are popular at the box office, Tom Cruise is one such name that no one can miss. His most recent release, Top Gun Maverick, is a perfect example of a blockbuster film. Besides being a great film, it broke many records ever since its premiere and now stands at $1.28 billion globally.
It is quite astonishing that the movie was able to cross that milestone, considering that its original was released more than 30 years ago. But that is what Cruise does. Be it this movie, Mission Impossible series, or any other solo film, the actor has shone bright at the box office.
But it’s not just in recent times that Tom Cruise has soared through the box office. He started to set records as early as in the 90s. As per some sources, the Magnolia star became the first actor ever to appear in five consecutive movies that each grossed over $100 million domestically (in the US and Canada).
