"Friday I'll see Oppenheimer first and then Barbie on Saturday." "Both films are set to hit theatres on July 21 and will compete for audiences at the box office. Cruise is a big proponent of watching movies in the theatres as that's the way he grew up."

The Top Gun: Maverick star further added: "I grew up seeing movies on the big screen. That's how I make them, and I like that experience; it's immersive, and to have that as a community and an industry, it's important." "I still go the movies." The actor has made no secret watching these exciting cinematic ventures on the big screen on their first day.

Back in June, the actor had tweeted his excitement about the two upcoming films. He had tweeted: "I love a double feature, and it doesn't get more explosive (or more pink) than one with Oppenheimer and Barbie. Barbie Trailer Out!

After breaking box office records with his military action film with Top Gun: Maverick last year, the actor is all geared to up the ante with the highly anticipated seventh installment of his upcoming spy-thriller-action franchise Mission Impossible with Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One. The movie is poised to release on July 12, a week before Oppenheimer and Barbie.
