No matter what they said -- the real reason is money.
Tom Cruise is a big star and his movies make a lot of money. However, he was asking for a very large part of it.
In the past, Paramount was willing to take a smaller percentage of a movie that would make enormous amounts of money -- because that would make lots of money for them. However, the last Tom Cruise movie didn't do as well as expected. This means that Paramount might have been better off putting their money into a movie that made less than MI-3. Even though a movie like that might make less, Paramount gets to keep most of the profits, so they would be better off.
If they thought MI-3 was just a one time problem, they would have given Tom Cruise nearly anything he wanted. However, they feel that his recent actions contributed to the performance of the movie. I'm referring to things like his fanatical support of Scientology, his badmouthing of people like Brooke Shields for seeking medical help after post-partem depression, his jumping on the sofa on Oprah. Add to this the fact that Tom is aging (not usually a good thing for an action star) and they probably think they can put their money to better use.
From Tom Cruise's point of view, he probably thinks that he can make movies without their help and be better off.
This might actually be a situation where both the studio and Tom Cruise are better off if they split. It is just too bad that there is bad blood spilling out into the streets.

To my understanding alot of people didn't want to see his films because of some of his extreme religious views.That cost Paramount about 150 million in ticket sales.The same thing happened to actress Joan Crawford in the 30's or 40's.She was released from Metro Golden Mayer for not making good films.She went on to make Mildred Pierce for which she won an academy award.

Basically he was costing them money because of the way he was acting in public and his ties with Scientology. A lot of people are boycotting anything with Cruise in it, even if he was a behind the scenes guy. This was the first time in recent history that a production company / film studio didn't bend over backwards to cater to a star. Let's hope others will do the same thing and knock them down a few pegs.

Because Cruise has offened so many of us, people are staying away from his movies in droves.
This costs Paramount money.
Paramount, like any other business, can't afford non-producers on the staff. Hence, the boot.

Tom is very arrogant and that is part of being a Scientologist. He is very opinionated and can not control himself. Tom needs to learn humility

because no matter how good an actor he may be (and I think he is). He is an offensive jerk.
