Tom Cruise is looking like he is set to prove his detractors wrong (and SSV correct) and show Hollywood and the world that he has NOT lost his Star Value- and SuperStarvalue is proud to say we saw it coming despite what Hollywood experts have been saying prior to the opening of Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol.

Noted box-office tracking website, www.boxofficemojo.com predicted a $M125 US box-office gross for Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol in its holiday forecast but after applying our star value system to the film, we tweeted a more positive forecast of $175M minimum US domestic gross for the Tom Cruise movie.

As SSV investigated deeper into the issue of the MI4 box-office potential, it became clear that the general sentiment of Hollywood players and experts for this franchise has been on the negative since last year, what with news of Tom Cruise needing to agree to a pay-cut in order to continue headlining the film and the producers' decision to move on its playdate- even giving way to the Sherlock Holmes movie of Robert Downey, Jr and Jude Law .

But now that the early figures are in, from its limited release in the US (with boxofficemojo now calling it the 'highest grossing limited release of all time!) and its wider release overseas, it seems more likely that Tom Cruise has maintained/regained his star value with MI4 and in effect, proving that the SuperStarValue Analysis & Rating System works- even for Hollywood superstars and Hollywood mega-productions.

So whether you are a (Hollywood) Star or a (Hollywood) Producer of a Star, we have become more comfortable to ask- Do you Know your Star Value? Where is Your Star in the SSV Star Value Cycle? Email superstarvalue@yahoo.com for your queries on our Star Value services.

Because in the business of showbusiness, as in life, and moreso in Hollywood, it really Pays to Know Your Value!

SSV Star Value Box-Office Forecast $M175 (minimum / US domestic)
boxofficemojo box-office gross forecast $M125 (US domestic)
