Loser: Tom Cruise
Last year, we had the Summer of Cruise. His sequel Top Gun: Maverick shattered expectations and records. Most figured, as a result, that would continue this summer with Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. However, despite a great critical response, the film didn’t carry over that Maverick heat, and made less than most of the other films in the Mission: Impossible franchise. Not the outcome anyone involved hoped for.
