Tom Cruise's Movie Is Unpopular

Tom Cruise's new flick "Lions For Lambs" has tanked in its opening weekend. How dare you drag Meryl Streep down with you, Xenu Queen! The political thriller took in 6.7 million at the box office. To be fair, it's a political flick. We're not talking "Transformers" or "Harry Potter".

His war-on-terror thriller ranked No. 4 with a tepid $6.7 million, getting beat by the Jerry Seinfeld toon Bee Movie, which netted $26 million.

Lions for Lambs was the first United Artists release under the new management of Cruise, 45, and his longtime producing partner, Paula Wagner.

The top five:

1. Bee Movie, $26 million

2. American Gangster, $24.3 million

3. Fred Claus, $19.2 million

4. Lions for Lambs, $6.7 million

5. Dan in Real Life, $5.9 million


His next flick is that Nazi film "Valkyrie" in which he tries to fly his spaceship into Hitler's bunker to kill him. I wish him the best. Hopefully his jackboots have lifts because that is one short little closet case.
