Eleven $100 million films in a row, Mars in Taurus

Tom Cruise

Eleven films released between 2012 and 2025, each grossing over $100 million, is a Guinness World Record, and it belongs to Cruise.

Jupiter in Pisces and Mercury in Gemini fit the range better: Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible, a Golden Globe for Jerry Maguire, a Best Actor nomination for Born on the Fourth of July, and a Top Gun sequel in 2022.

Astrologers read Mars in Taurus as the slow, steady pusher, which is not an obvious placement for someone who performs risky stunts, so here the chart and the record disagree.
