Tom Cruise ready to make peace with ex-wife Nicole Kidman — his surprising plan to reconnect
Tom Cruise got married to his now ex- wife Nicole Kidman in 1990, after a whirlwind romance on the sets of Days of Thunder. Though the Hollywood heartthrobs parted ways in 2001, after a decade. They also worked together in Far and Away 1992 and Eyes Wide Shut 1999, as per reports.
Kidman, reportedly, was shocked when her then husband filed for divorce in 2001, which was apparently a 'friendly' separation. Nicole once said she felt like a 'trophy wife' in the early days of their marriage. She said she felt like she didn't deserve to be there and was just supposed to look nice and not speak.
They have two adopted kids, Isabella and Connor. Tom Cruise stayed close to both kids, especially because of their shared belief in Scientology. Some people thought Nicole Kidman wasn't close to the kids, but that's not true. Bella has posted about her mom on social media and even defended her in interviews.

Box Office: Holdover Mission Impossible – The Final Reckoning tops newcomer Karate Kid Legends with USD 27.3M in 2nd weekend
Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning continued to hold steady at the US box office, pulling in USD 27.3 million in its second weekend. Despite the arrival of Karate Kid Legends, the action-espionage thriller remained in the No. 2 spot, proving once again the enduring, albeit slightly injured, appeal of the Mission: Impossible brand and Cruise's unmatched box office power. The film witnessed a 57.3 percent drop from its Memorial Day-aided opening weekend, a better hold than its predecessor, Dead Reckoning Part One, which waned 64.6 percent in the same frame with a smaller USD 19.4 million take. With a current US total of USD 122.6 million, The Final Reckoning is eyeing a domestic take between USD 190 million and USD 210 million. Its second-weekend numbers rank among the top Memorial Day sequels of all time, placing just behind major hits like Top Gun: Maverick (USD 90 million, -28.9 percent) and Lilo & Stitch (USD 63 million, -56.8 percent). The film outperformed legacy titles, including Solo: A Star Wars Story and X-Men: Days of Future Past, despite having fewer screenings, a longer runtime, and the lowest theater count for a Mission: Impossible film since Ghost Protocol. The two aforementioned films had raked in USD 29.4 million and USD 32.6 million, respectively. Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, The Final Reckoning is the final entry in the franchise and a direct sequel to 2023's Dead Reckoning Part One. It features Ethan Hunt and his IMF team in a high-stakes race to stop a rogue AI known as the Entity from unleashing a global catastrophe. Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Henry Czerny, Angela Bassett, and more return for their last mission. Production on the film was extensive and expensive. With an estimated budget of USD 300 to USD 400 million, the shooting spanned multiple countries, including England, Malta, Norway, and South Africa. Originally intended to be Dead Reckoning Part Two, the film was retitled The Final Reckoning ahead of its May 2025 release. Following its May 5 world premiere in Tokyo and an out-of-competition May 14 screening at Cannes, the film launched theatrically across the globe on May 23. It has since grossed USD 352 million worldwide to become the eighth highest-grossing film of 2025 by delivering the franchise's biggest opening weekend to date.

Tom Cruise's Final ‘Mission Impossible' Tops China Box Office
Tom Cruise's film is back on top in China. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning posted the biggest opening for a US film in the country this year, defying trade and geopolitical tensions between Washington and Beijing. Paramount Global's eighth installment in the action franchise earned $25.2 million across 11,847 locations in China during the opening weekend, the studio said in a statement. The film is likely to become the top-performing US release in the country for 2025, with Warner Bros Entertainment Inc.'s A Minecraft Movie so far holding the lead with about $29 million since its April 4 debut, according to ticketing platform Maoyan. While the Final Reckoning opening is comparable to its 2023 predecessor, the latest film's performance stands out in a year when most US titles have struggled to gain traction in China. Minecraft opened with $14.5 million, while Walt Disney Co.'s Thunderbolts and Lilo & Stitch brought in $10.5 million and $8.7 million, respectively, on opening weekend. The solid performance of Cruise's new film, which he's said will be his last Mission: Impossible, suggests that Hollywood pictures have withstood rising tensions between the world's two largest economies. In April, Beijing said it would 'moderately reduce' the number of US films allowed into the market as part of a broader response to trade friction. While initial negotiations between Washington and Beijing began shortly after, talks have since stalled. The Mission: Impossible series, starring Cruise as secret agent Ethan Hunt, has long been emblematic of China's enthusiasm for Hollywood. In 2018 — when US films reached a peak share of the Chinese market — the sixth installment of the franchise opened to around $77 million in China. But that momentum slowed after the first Trump administration sparked off a trade clash, leading to fewer releases and diminished returns. Under the Chinese government's national agenda to boost consumption, China has been gradually allowing more foreign films in an effort to help stimulate spending while moviegoers are visiting theaters at malls.

Mission Impossible 8 Box Office Day 16: Tom Cruise's Film Bounces Back, Mints Rs 90 Crore
Last Updated: Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One has grossed Rs 90 crore in India. Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the film marks Cruise's final outing as Ethan Hunt. Tom Cruise is back to doing what he does best — defying gravity and box office expectations. On Day 16, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One pulled off yet another high-octane stunt at the Indian box office. After a mid-week slowdown, the film has bounced back with style, raking in a cool Rs 90 crore so far. Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible 8 entered the third week in India on a strong note. Directed by Christopher McQuarrie and co-written with Erik Jendresen, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning marks Tom Cruise's final outing as the legendary spy Ethan Hunt. The film also stars Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Henry Czerny, and Angela Bassett. The film pocketed Rs 3.65 crore on Day 15 (third Saturday) and followed it up with a slightly better Rs 3.75 crore on Day 16 (third Sunday), according to early estimates. That pushes the total India collection to a solid Rs 90.45 crore across all languages. The final chapter in the Mission: Impossible saga kicked off with a decent run when it hit theatres on May 17. Fans rushed to catch Tom Cruise back in action as Ethan Hunt, pulling off gravity-defying stunts and intense fight scenes like only he can. The film had a strong start, bringing in Rs 54.4 crore in its first week. All eyes are on whether The Final Reckoning can keep up the pace and cruise its way to the Rs 100 crore mark in India. Ahead of the release, Tom Cruise had left Indian fans delighted by speaking in Hindi during a promotional video. 'Main aap sab se bahut pyaar karta hoon. Mujpe bharosa karo, ek akhri baar (I love you all a lot. Trust me one last time)," he said. He also shared his fond memories of visiting India, adding, 'I feel so much love for India. I have to say the whole experience has been etched in my memory. Every single moment. From the moment I landed, going to the Taj Mahal, and spending time in Mumbai, I remember each moment quite vividly." A part of News18's review of the film read, 'But what truly sets The Final Reckoning apart is its tone. It's not just an action blockbuster. It's an elegy. A goodbye. A thank-you. And somehow, despite all the chaos, it's also a reckoning with legacy, with sacrifice, with what it really means to be a hero when the world keeps moving the goalpost. The Final Reckoning is the most fitting, heart-racing, gut-wrenching finale Ethan Hunt could've asked for. If this really is the last mission, then hats off, Mr. Cruise. You didn't just complete it. You aced it." First Published:
