Tom Cruise is back. Mission Impossible 4 looks like the movie of the season, on pace for a $45 million weekend. It's also doing well overseas. The other movies could all qualify as "disappointing." Sherlock Holmes 2 and Alvin & the Chipmunks 3 opened under expectations, and now so has The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. If US box-office were all that mattered, The Adventures of Tintin could be called a bomb, but since it's already made $237 million otherwise, it'll be fine.
