  1. >Cruise attended CinemaCon, the annual convention of movie theater owners, to hype up “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning,” which opens in cinemas over the summer. But before he got started, he asked the crowd of exhibitors to join him in a moment of silence for Kilmer.

    >“I can’t tell you how much I admire his work, how grateful and honored I was when he joined ‘Top Gun’ and came back later for ‘Top Gun: Maverick,’” Cruise said from the stage. “I think it would be really nice if we could just have a moment together, because he loved movies and he gave a lot to all of us. Just kind of think about all the wonderful times that we had with him.”

  2. Nice sentiment but I do wonder what “Next Journey” means to Tom Cruise lol

  3. That’s a nice gesture tbh, he celebrated his friend for the awesome person he was

  4. Weird gesture. He did it to control the crowd and feel powerful.
