Tom Cruise remains a box office powerhouse, yet one record eludes him: achieving the highest-grossing film of the year in the past 24 years. This article explores Cruise's impressive box office history, highlighting his consistent success and the last time he reached this pinnacle with Mission: Impossible II in 2000.
Tom Cruise is a well-established box office star who is known for headlining some massively popular films, but it's been 24 years since he achieved the biggest milestone of all. Cruise's spot as one of Hollywood's most bankable stars began in the late 1980s, and he proved his worth at the box office throughout the 90s as all but two of his movies made over $100 million at the box office .
He then surpassed that milestone 11 times in the 2000s as the Mission: Impossible franchise expanded and he worked with Steven Spielberg on two massive hits. To date, Tom Cruise's movies have made over $12 billion at the worldwide box office, according to The Numbers, making him one of the highest-grossing actors of all time. Cruise's trajectory at the box office is still climbing too. The record for the highest-grossing movie of Cruise's career has been broken twice in the last six years thanks to Mission: Impossible - Fallout and Top Gun: Maverick - which is the current record holder.
