It’s hard to imagine that a franchise that started 30 years ago and made Tom Cruise a household name, had its first installment made for $80 million and went on to make a behemoth $457 million in return. This was back in 1996 and that’s not all the cool trivia about it. The action-spy franchise was originally designed as a 1960s TV show, and it’s interesting how 30 years later it has now had eight installments so far, with the latest one released in 2025. And now that very fine franchise starter is making it to HBO Max.
