Cruise Control For MI:3

Tom Cruise's pals over at the Church of Scientology have been seen purchasing hundreds of tickets at a time to help boost the sales of Mission: Impossible 3 which brought in a disappointing $47.5 million during its opening weekend.

I think people are insanely sick of him and Katie Holmes thus the drop in ticket sales.

No doubt.

No offense Joe but this story sounds like bullshit tabloid trash designed to sell papers.

Maybe so but it was reported by three different sites and I thought it a funny story at the least.

Besides, you are a little biased as a big Tom Cruise fan. lol

Just found another site with it Wizard:

I have confirmed today that there has been an unusual pattern of ticket sales for Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible 3 at Hollywood's ArcLight Theater, which just happens to be located right near the Church of Scientology Celebrity Center where Cruise belongs. Unconfirmed anecdotes are circulating on the Internet this weekend of individuals buying hundreds of tickets at a time from the ArcLight. But an ArcLight employee did confirm to me just now that "people have been buying dozens of tickets at a time" for MI3, which is definitely an extraordinary sales pattern for the movie theater (or any theater, for that matter).

haha you know me too well. Don't get me wrong Cruise certainly seems to have his share of eccentric beliefs and behavior but stuff like this is just too insane to be true in my eyes. I mean there was that story a while back where Scarlette Johanson dropped out of MI3 because Cruise took her up to "the center" to meet with the scientology elders which led to her running from the room getting as far away from that movie as possible when in reality the movie's shooting schedule got pushed back causing a conflict with another film she was doing leading to her being replaced with Kerry Russell. Now this made for a good laugh but many people, a couple of my friends included seem to take stories like this as fact. I've got no evidence about this but I'm convinced that quote he made a couple weeks back about eating his child's placenta was only made to see how fast it would get out in the gossip rags that Crazy Tom Cruise wants to eat baby placenta. Sad thing it was reported as a fact by several news outlets.

I obviously can't tell you with any sort of certainty that this story is made up but it seems a little to out there to even be regarded as a credible rumor. I mean what benefit would scientology in general see by having the gross of a Tom Cruise movie go up by a couple million bucks? If these mysterious scientologists really wanted to help their cause you would think they would want to set Cruise straight with some sort of intervention to stop getting them all this negative press.
