Box Office: The Final Reckoning collects USD 7.2M on Discount Tuesday, USD 100M milestone expected by Friday
The film now ranks as the 12th-biggest post-Memorial Day Tuesday of all time, joining the ranks of major box office hits like Top Gun: Maverick (USD 15.8M) and Aladdin (USD 12M). It also held better than other legacy titles, including Fast & Furious 6, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
After six days in release, The Final Reckoning has reached a USD 86.2 million cumulative domestic total. It is now on track to cross the coveted USD 100 million mark by Friday, an impressive feat, especially given the film's limited screen count compared to previous entries due to its longer runtime. MI8 is also contending directly with another box office juggernaut, Disney's Lilo & Stitch, which earned USD 15.3 million on Discount Tuesday.
The eighth and final installment in the Mission: Impossible series, The Final Reckoning, is directed by longtime collaborator Christopher McQuarrie and stars Cruise as Ethan Hunt. The film follows the iconic IMF agent and his team as they battle to stop the Entity, a rogue AI threatening global havoc. The ensemble cast includes Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Henry Czerny, and Angela Bassett.
Initially planned as part of a two-part finale, the film was restructured following production delays, including the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. With a reported budget of USD 300 to USD 400 million, it ranks among the most expensive films ever made.
Despite production hurdles and stiff competition, the film has grossed USD 213 million globally, becoming the eighth-highest-grossing film of 2025 so far. It premiered in Tokyo on May 4 and screened at the Cannes Film Festival on May 14 before opening in US theaters on May 23 to largely positive reviews and the franchise's best opening weekend to date.
Cruise's action legacy remains unscathed, proving yet again why he is one of Hollywood's last true box office draws.

A recent Twitch stream showcased a marathon 21-hour-and-49-minute wrestling match, claimed to be the longest in the world, raising about $36,900 (roughly ₹32 lakh) for the Canadian Cancer Society.

Grayson pinned Junior Benito with a Nightfall to win the marathon contest. Dexerto on shared X with a caption that reads, 'The 'world's longest wrestling match' has raised $37,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society and lasted 21 hours, 49 minutes, and 12 seconds."

The 'world's longest wrestling match" has raised $37,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society and lasted 21 hours, 49 minutes, and 12 seconds — Dexerto (@Dexerto) August 13, 2025 While the wrestling match set a new record for the longest duration, it will not receive official recognition because Guinness World Records charges a $16,000 verification fee, a cost that Evil Uno's team wasn't willing to pay. 'Despite breaking the time mark, the record won't be official. Evil Uno revealed that Guinness required a $16,000 fee to verify the attempt, a cost they weren't willing to cover," Dexerto added. 'We were in contact with Guinness World Records to make our attempt official. BUT… they've just told us it's a minimum of 16000 USD to do so. We just can't spend that in good faith. All to say, this will be an unofficial attempt at the world's longest pro wrestling multiman match," Uno explained. view comments First Published: August 14, 2025, 23:07 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Coolie North America Collections: Rajinikanth's movie SHATTERS RECORDS with USD 2.9 million gross from premieres alone
Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, and starring Rajinikanth is having a bumper first day at the box office worldwide. It has been Coolie-Mania all around. Kollywood records have been broken by a margin, despite the high-profile clash with War 2. While the numbers are excellent everywhere, they are best in North America. The film has amassed USD 2.9 million from premieres alone, and that is around USD 1 million higher than the previous record-holder, Rajinikanth's own Kabali. Coolie Smashes USD 2.9 Million In North America For Premieres; Day 1 Will Comfortably Be Around USD 4 Million The day 1 collections of Coolie look to be over USD 1 million, setting it up well for an opening day of USD 4 million. With good weekend advances, the movie has bright chances to end up as the highest grossing Tamil movie of all time in this region. The word of mouth of the movie is just about average but the huge opening and excellent advances should take it comfortably to the finish line. Coolie's Global Opening Is Pegged At Over Rs 150 Crore Gross; Sets All Time Kollywood Record The global day 1 estimation of Coolie is pegged at around Rs 160 crore gross. The final day 1 collections will be shared officially, tomorrow. A Rs 400 crore extended global weekend can't be discounted with the way things are going for the Rajinikanth movie. The actor has yet again proven his strong initial pull. Even after 50 years, he is able to get audiences to theatres, and not just the Tamil audiences but also the other language audiences. Lokesh Kanagaraj has also, yet again proven that the fanbase that he enjoys as a director is second to probably just SS Rajamouli. Lokesh's frequency of films, which is much better than Rajamouli, keeps him in contention to even claim the top spot. Yes, based on the feedback, there's a lot of scope for improvement. Coolie, despite the record opening, may find itself unable to reach the kind of number that it could and should have reached, in its lifetime. Coolie In Theatres
