Tom Cruise’s biggest failure, this is without a doubt!

Do you remember the day in 2016 when the promotion of a movie starring Tom Cruise became the laughing stock of the Internet? That’s how it all started. The actor was preparing for the release of “The Mummy” in the cinema.

The first trailer for the feature film was released on December 5, 2016, and 15 days later, IMAX released its own trailer to promote the film’s release on its giant screens. Except a technical problem breaks it all!

The video uploaded on December 20 has only the voices of the actors and no sound effects or music! A great moment of solitude for whoever is responsible for this bug and a moment of great fun for internet users. The video gets taken down regularly, but here’s another place to find it as it was:

The promotion then continued as if nothing had happened with the second official trailer released on 2nd April 2017, then the film was released and…

Goodbye to the Monsterverse

Think back to the mid-2010s, when Universal Studios announced it would release a connected universe of monsters with Dr. Jekyll (Russell Crowe), The Invisible Man (Johnny Depp), Frankenstein’s Creature (Javier Bardem), Tom Cruise and Sofia Boutella. mummy). Only the latter film was actually released, but according to AlloCiné viewers, it became one of the worst of its lead actor.

2.36/5, this is the actor’s second worst film behind American Teenager (1.74/5), one of his feature debuts in which he was not yet the star he was in 2017’s The Mummy. .

With a budget of $125 million, excluding marketing, The Mummy grossed just $409 million worldwide. A terrible disappointment for a film that was set to launch a connected universe and slapped Tom Cruise in the face for box office success. That same year, Cruise directed Barry Seal (another flop) before returning to the top with Mission: Impossible – Fallout followed by Top Gun: Maverick.

We’ll see him again on July 12 as Ethan Hunt for the seventh installment of the Mission: Impossible saga.
