Three Tom Cruise Action Movies Are Killing It Right Now, 9 Months Before He Even Has A New Release

Summary Tom Cruise movies continue to dominate streaming charts, proving their lasting impact on audiences beyond the big screen.
Even with underperforming box office results, Cruise’s action films like Jack Reacher and Mission: Impossible 7 remain popular on streaming platforms.
With the upcoming Mission: Impossible 8 release in 2025, fans eagerly await Cruise’s return as Ethan Hunt, highlighting his enduring star power in the action genre.
Tom Cruise has achieved an impressive feat with three of his action movies this summer, despite the fact that he doesn’t have a new film releasing until 2025. Since the 1980s, Tom Cruise’s action movie star power has continued to grow rather than dwindle, as he now has several iconic franchise characters to his name. From Maverick in the Top Gun movies to Jack Reacher’s titular character or Mission: Impossible’s Ethan Hunt, Cruise’s action films and roles continue to make an impact on audiences, even if it’s been years since they premiered.
While the Mission: Impossible franchise is still ongoing, with his upcoming Mission: Impossible 8 bringing Cruise to 29 total years of playing Ethan Hunt. On August 1, 2024, the 2023 sequel Mission: Impossible –Dead Reckoning began streaming on Prime Video. The action film quickly skyrocketed on Prime Video’s streaming charts, which happened to coincide with Cruise’s two Jack Reacher movies also successfully hitting Netflix’s movie library on the same date.

Simultaneously, Tom Cruise has three action movies leading the streaming charts across two different platforms – an impressive feat for an actor who hasn’t released a movie since July 2023. Also coinciding with an exciting appearance at the Closing Ceremony of the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, Tom Cruise’s movie Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning (2023) is trending in the number one spot on Prime Video while his action thrillers Jack Reacher (2012) and Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (2016) are trending in the top 10 on Netflix.
Even if these titles didn’t fare as well as anticipated in theaters, their 2024 streaming success proves they stand the test of time with audiences.
Surprisingly, two of the three movies underperformed at the box office upon their theatrical releases. Jack Reacher: Never Go Back’s underwhelming box office performance arguably hindered a third movie from happening, with Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning making the franchise’s future after the upcoming 2025 sequel less clear. However, even if these titles didn’t fare as well as anticipated in theaters, their 2024 streaming success proves they stand the test of time with audiences.
