Just a week following the release of the seventh installment of the immensely popular Mission: Impossible franchise, the film "Barbie," featuring Margot Robbie, made a significant impact on audiences. This competition unfolded despite "Mission: Impossible 7" being one of the most expensive films ever produced—a fact that, unfortunately, didn't guarantee it a leading position in the box office race, especially with formidable contenders like Greta Gerwig's creation and Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer."
Regarding Tom Cruise's reaction to "Barbie" crossing the £1 billion mark at the box office, an insider divulged to The Sun that it has left the veteran actor with mixed feelings.
The source explained, "Tom's journey with 'Mission: Impossible 7' was truly an arduous one, overcoming numerous challenges to finally bring it to the cinema screen."
"However," the source continued, "there is a sentiment among the crew that they faced and surmounted numerous obstacles to ensure the film's release, only for 'Barbie' to arrive and overshadow it completely."
The insider stressed that it's a challenging period for the film industry in Hollywood, and nobody intends to diminish "Barbie's" achievements. Nevertheless, the film's unexpected success has understandably left some with a sense of disappointment.
