After only a few weeks in theaters, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning already ranks among the top 10 highest-grossing films of the year. Box Office Mojo reports that since being released in mid-May, what is being called the final installment in the action series starring Tom Cruise has raked in more than $360 million — and the total is still climbing.
Mission: Impossible is beloved around the world and is remembered in part for its iconic theme song, but that's not the only bit of music from the series that people love. The score that was created for this latest film has proven commercially successful in at least one market where the movie is also widely embraced.
The latest Mission: Impossible score debuts on two music charts in the U.K. this week. The full-length, which is credited to composers Max Aruj and Alfie Godfrey, even manages a top 10 start on the Official Soundtrack Albums chart. The project launches at No. 10 on that tally.
On that list, Mission: Impossible earns the loftiest debut of the frame, beating a new rendition of The Empire Strikes Back soundtrack, as well as several high-profile comebacks.
The same studio effort also appears on the Official Album Downloads chart, which is not specific to any one genre, but instead to the digital format. On that list, Mission: Impossible opens at No. 23. Unlike on the soundtrack tally, the score doesn't earn the top start here. Instead, the composers come in behind new releases from U.K. favorites like When Rivers Meet, Louise Sparks, and Stereolab.
Mission: Impossible is one of several Cruise-related titles with scores currently charting on the Official Soundtrack Albums ranking. The original Top Gun pushes 10 spaces to No. 16, while its follow-up Top Gun: Maverick reenters the ranking at No. 42. Both may experience gains thanks to all the excitement around the movie star's latest blockbuster.
The Top Gun sequel is also present on the Official Compilations chart, where its accompanying album jumps several spots to No. 67 shortly after celebrating 150 weeks on the list.

Sadie Sink on the Magic of Broadway, the Music That Soundtracked Her Coming of Age, and Her Tony-Nominated Role in John Proctor Is the Villain
One thing I was thinking a lot about in rehearsals was what my high school experience looked like. People would tell stories from school and stuff, and I didn't really have that. Mine looked a bit different. So, I always felt disconnected in that way. I went to high school for a little bit, but it was mostly done on set. That became useful for Shelby, because what really resonated was [the feeling of being a] teenager, but parts of you feel like you're already an adult. It became a useful tool for me, just relating it back to my own life. But no matter what a person's teenage experience was, this show encapsulates the rage and the catharsis, how no one will listen to you, and all those things that relate to girlhood, but also just womanhood in general. There was a New York Times article that came out the other day about the show, titled 'Why Women Are Leaving This Broadway Show in Tears.' What do you make of it all? It's beautiful and it's heartbreaking. There's audiences that, through this play, they're able to think about things that have happened in their own life that maybe live in that gray area that this play talks about a lot. And so, a lot of women connect to it. A lot of my friends that come to see it have very similar reactions, and it brings up important conversations. It makes people feel really seen. Obviously, we didn't plan the timing of it at all, but for this story to be told right now, under the same administration that Kimberly wrote [the play] under years ago… to be back in that spot is just really dark. It feels like such a gift that we get to do this right now. What do you hope people take away from seeing the show? I like it when people leave with rage, because I definitely feel a lot of that throughout the show. At the end, though, I hope that through Shelby and Raelynn [played by Amalia Yoo]—through their friendship—there's an appreciation for the connections that you have in your life, and that sense of hope that, with the people around you that you can lean on, you can change the world for a second. That's what these girls do. They change the world around them for the length of a song.

Guys, Give Navy a Rest. A Skeptic's Guide to Wearing Color (and White Jeans) in 2025
When it comes to donning color, men tend to be boring, rarely venturing beyond gray, navy or maybe (gasp!) a lilac button-up. But lately, that timidity seems to be ebbing. On the recent fall menswear runways, royal purple and 'Brat'-lime green made a splash—and store owners report that style-conscious shoppers are more regularly branching out into subtle shades like olive green and ochre. 'We've definitely seen a shift toward more guys buying color,' said Justin Felizzari, owner of New York menswear store Cueva, which sells pieces such as terracotta-hued tailoring by Studio Nicholson. At Canoe Club in Boulder, Colo., the shop's co-founder Timothy Grindle says Japanese brand Auralee's punchy red designs are in high demand. 'Most men aren't looking for a bright head-to-toe look,' said Felizzari. 'They just want one piece that adds something special to their closet.'

‘Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceiver' finally brings Wu-Tang back to video games
After 26 years away from video games, hip-hop's most notorious and influential supergroup Wu-Tang Clan returns with 'Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceiver,' developed in close consultation with the group. It's also the debut game from Brass Lion Entertainment, founded by veterans of big-budget studios in 2019 as a home for developers of diverse backgrounds. ('All culture, no vulture' is the studio motto.) 'Rise of the Deceiver' is an action-adventure game where up to three players can customize fighting styles and fashion, and boasts a dynamic soundtrack that reacts to the on-screen action with music produced by legendary producer Just Blaze.
