Will Scientology Lose Funding?
Former cash machine Tom Cruise will likely be getting a pay cut:
But Cruise — tainted by tabloid buzz — isn't delivering as consistently and that may cost him big. This year “Mission: Impossible III” proved to be the most expensive and lowest-yielding of the franchise grossing only $133 million domestic on a $150 million budget.If the product isn't selling it is pretty hard to justify giving 30% of the gross to one actor.
Any way you cut it there will be less money for the dude to tithe.
