China Box Office: The Final Reckoning crosses Dead Reckoning on 2nd Sunday; All set to become 1st Hollywood film to cross USD 50 million since Venom
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning is having a solid run at the global box office if you ignore its production budget that's expected to be in the tune of USD 300 million excluding the marketing expenses that would also amount to more or less USD 75-100 million. After its 3rd weekend at the US box office, the Tom Cruise starrer stands at around USD 453 million and the trend of the movie suggests a finish of around USD 600 million, if not more.
Almost all markets, including the domestic market, for MI-8 have delivered as per the pre-release expectations. The most visible mark up in collections over the predicessor is coming from China where The Final Reckoning has crossed Dead Reckoning in 10 days flat. After 10 days, the total stands at just under USD 50 million and the trend suggests a lifetime in the vicinity of USD 70 million. That would mean a solid over-40 percent growth from the last Mission Impossible movie that failed to cross USD 50 million back in 2023.
The China market for Hollywood films isn't like it used to be. Mission: Impossible, as a franchise, peaked with Mission: Impossible - Fallout. The collections put up by Dead Reckoning and also The Final Reckoning, will be a fraction of what Fallout managed pre-pandemic. Hollywood films have been affected in China to the extent that the last movie before The Final Reckoning that actually managed to gross USD 50 million is Venom: The Last Dance, way back in late 2024. The last genuine Hollywood success in China is Alien: Romulus. Romulus ' China collections managed to match its domestic collections. Not many films managed to do that back in the days, forget now.
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning is a respectable end to the franchise, talking purely with respect to box office. It could have been worse given how Dead Reckoning crumpled because of the Barbenheimer phenomenon that took the world by storm. This time around too, M:I clashed with a much bigger film than itself, Lilo And Stitch. The live-actioner is on course to cross a billion dollars worldwide and emerge as one of the most profitable movies in recent memory.
You can watch Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning in theatres now. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates on Tom Cruise and his movies.

Blake Lively Lands Big Win Against Justin Baldoni as ‘Sham' 400 Million USD Counter Lawsuit Gets Tossed Out
Justin Baldoni has lost a major footing in his claims against It Ends With Us co-star Blake Lively, amid their ongoing feud about the happenings on the film set. On June 9 local time, a judge dismissed the director's 400 million USD defamation case against the actress. The original counter lawsuit stood against the leading lady of the film and her famous husband, Ryan Reynolds, who can now breathe a sigh of relief. According to Variety, it was a judge named Lewis J. Liman who stopped the defamation lawsuit from taking root by dismissing it, earning Blake Lively a long-awaited win. Justin Baldoni 's other claims included extortion from him, but those have all gone down the drain. It's not all negative, however, as he has been allowed to refile a couple of other claims and make changes to some of his allegations. Blake Lively's side reacts to dismissal of defamation case filed by Justin Baldoni The lawyers for the actress were in a celebratory mood, counting it as a 'total victory' in their fight against the 41-year-old star. They say that it's a release from the 'abusive litigation', and look forward to receiving attorneys' fees, treble damages and punitive damages, the next time around. 'As we have said from day one, this '$400 million' lawsuit was a sham, and the Court saw right through it', they added. What does the judge's new ruling mean? The dismissal not only benefits Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, but also Leslie Sloane and The New York Times, who were previously implicated in the filing of the lawsuit. Initially, the Jane the Virgin actor meant to shove away Blake Lively, her husband and her publicist, by claiming that the allegations of s*xual harassment and trying to ruin her career with a smear campaign were all false. It has now been ruled that Blake Lively's accusations were legally protected.

Housefull 5 Day 4 India Box Office: Akshay Kumar led cruise-comedy holds its fortress on working Monday; Nets Rs 11.50 crore
Housefull 5 led by Akshay Kumar and co-starring Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonam Bajwa, Jacqueline Fernandez and others held well on working Monday in India, netting Rs 11-12 crore. After a good weekend of Rs 79.25 crore, the 4 day total of Housefull 5 stands at Rs 90.75 crore. The film is likely to cross Rs 100 crore net, late on day 5 or early on day 6. Housefull 5 looks to continue the success streak of the Housefull franchise. Whether it also continues the hit streak is to be seen. To be in contention to be a hit, the movie needs to hold even stronger over the next couple of weeks and that won't be easy. Regardless, Akshay Kumar 's brute force at the box office was visible for the first time since Sooryavanshi. After the release of Sooryavanshi, Akshay Kumar perhaps witnessed his worst theatrical phase, where even the high on content films didn't get desired box office rewards. It is hoped that his strong initial pull is seen in the months to follow, in exciting upcoming movies like Jolly LLB 3, Welcome To The Jungle and more. The Day Wise Net India Box Office Collections Of Housefull 5 Are As Under Housefull 5 is among the better performing Akshay Kumar movies internationally. After becoming his biggest weekend opener, the movie looks to end up doing roughly USD 7.5-8 million (Rs 65 to 70 crore gross). This sets the stage well for the movie to hit Rs 300 crore worldwide in the full run. The movie needs to gross atleast Rs 325 crore worldwide to be considered as a film that can be accredited as a hit. We have arrived to a number in the Rs 325-350 crore vicinity given the film's heavy budget and the fact that it is a film from the very successful Housefull franchise. Housefull 5 plays in theatres now. Have you watched the madcap comedy? If yes, which version of the movie did you watch? A or B? Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates on the killer-comedy.
