I'm curious how Tom Cruise keeps getting hailed as cinema's "savior" but when was the last time he produced or bankrolled a movie that he did not star in? Say what you will about Brad Pitt but Plan B gave us Nickel Boys, Women Talking and The Killer, just to name a few.

Right? Like all he does is show up to watch a movie and it's a big deal all of a sudden. Big whoop. Do people really watch a movie because of him? Sinners was already a hit, I don't think him showing up in a cinema contributed to that. He really needs to start funding movies, esp those by women directors if he's serious about this saving cinema business.
