There's no rest for the weary. 

Now that Nazi thriller "Valkyrie" has opened successfully in the U.S., Tom Cruise is getting ready to cross the ocean to promote the film's upcoming international launch. 

He'll be on hand for the German premiere on Jan. 20, as well as visit six other countries, including in Asia.

Bryan Singer shot much of "Valkyrie"--from United Artists and MGM--in Germany. Some German officials tried to block Singer's access because of Cruise being a Scientologist, as did relatives of Col. Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg, whom Cruise plays in the movie. They utimately relented, however.

"Valkyrie" has done way better than expected at the North American box office. It took plenty of heat for being pushed back several times. Plus, people love to handicap Tom Cruise's every move. Over the Christmas holidays, "Valkyrie" held steady at No. 4, behind "Marley & Me," "Bedtime Stories" and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." On Monday, pic came in No. 3, with a running gross of $61.8 million. 

It will be interesting to see how the film plays overseas. Is Tom Cruise still beloved abroad? We'll know soon enough.
