Tencent’s involvement in the project was doomed as diplomatic relations between Washington and Beijing deteriorated rapidly over the course of the last three years.
Trying to please their counterparts, Paramount Pictures even change the insignia on the bomber jacket worn by Cruise’s character so as not to upset Chinese censors.In its first three days in North American theaters, the long-in-the-works sequel earned an estimated $124 million in ticket sales. Including international showings, the film made $248 million worldwide.
This was the first time in Cruise’s illustrious acting career that he starred in a film that generated more than $100 million at the box office during opening weekend.
