20 Years Ago, Tom Cruise Nearly Derailed One Of Steven Spielberg's Biggest Box Office Hits - SlashFilm

Saving a click: it’s “War of the worlds”
"Spielberg felt the actor's antics had hurt his own movie, 2005's 'War of the Worlds.' Far worse, though, had been an episode when Spielberg told Cruise the name of a doctor who had prescribed medication to a relative and the doctor's office was subsequently picketed by Scientologists."
And this would be the reason. He stabbed Spielberg in the back there. Fuck Hollywood numbers, who would want to be around a 'friend' who just did something like that to you?
They didn't work again together until Tom Cruise was needed for Top Gun 2.
It wasn’t a very good movie. I doubt the antics had anything to do with it
Thank you, OP should not have used a click bait title.
