Yes, movies like \u201cMaverick,\u201d \u201cAvatar: The Way of Water\u201d and \u201cBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever\u201d are crushing it at the box office, but many more films are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/oscar-bait-movies-bomb-box-office\/\">getting ghosted by movie goers.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The recent weekend\u2019s numbers proved \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/elf-box-office-woke-empire-of-light\/\">unprecedented<\/a>,\u201d according to IndieWire. And it could get worse before it gets better.<\/p>\n<p>How many movie stars take the time to thank fans in such a colorful fashion? Cruise\u2019s peers don\u2019t have to leap from working airplanes to show their gratitude.<\/p>\n<p>A few more \u201cthank you\u201d messages, and less hateful screeds, wouldn\u2019t hurt.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u00a0might help if they stopped dividing the American public and remembered that even Red State audiences helped pave their way to stardom.<\/p>\n<p>Cruise\u2019s sentiment may be as calculated as one of his \u201cM:I\u201d stunt sequences, but it still matters.
