Actor Matt Damon has narrated a hilarious story about Tom Cruise, when he had met him over dinner. When they got talking, Damon mentioned to Cruise about his breathtaking action scene from Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, which involved him climbing Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
The actor said the difference between him and Cruise was never more apparent, as he would have backed out from a stunt if the people responsible to ensure its safety had dubbed it a bad idea. “That’s the beginning of his story and I say, ‘stop!’ That’s where we are different. Like, when the safety guy says no, I am like, ‘The safety guy said that’s not a good idea!'” he added.
Tom Cruise currently stars in the seventh installment of Mission Impossible. Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One released on Wednesday and has been doing impressive business, especially in India, as it collected Rs 63 cr nett in five days.
According to AP, the film launched with a franchise-best $80 million over five days, though it came in shy of industry expectations with a $56.2 million haul over the three-day weekend, according to studio estimates.
“The Paramount Pictures debut was boosted by strong overseas sales of $155 million from 70 markets. But while a $235 million worldwide launch marked one of the best global openings of the year, “Dead Reckoning” couldn’t approach the high-speed velocity of last summer’s top film, ‘Top Gun: Maverick,'” the report read.
In India, Dead Reckoning Part One has outperformed recent Hollywood films and is likely to emerge as the biggest Tom Cruise hit ever, surpassing the lifetime collection of the sixth Mission Impossible, which was around 80 crores nett.
