Mission Impossible – The Final Reckoning Day 15 India Box Office: Franchise's struggles to hit blockbuster mark continues with Rs 70 lakh 2nd Monday
Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning has earned Rs 80.70 crore at the Indian box office by Day 17, a figure that falls short of the high expectations set by the franchise and its massive scale and star power. Speaking about the Tom Cruise starrer's exclusive second Monday haul, it pulled in Rs 70 lakh net, which can be defined as decent at most and well below what industry insiders, makers, and fans must've preferred. Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the film is the eighth and final installment in the Mission Impossible series. It welcomes Cruise back as the iconic IMF agent Ethan Hunt, alongside his teammates played by Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Henry Czerny, and Angela Bassett. The story revolves around Hunt and co. trying to stop a rogue AI called The Entity from unleashing global chaos. Though the film boasts a reported production budget of USD 300 to USD 400 million, its reception worldwide has been lukewarm. Industry experts are being cautious when quoting its lifetime figure, as it looks like the entry will have a tough time even breaking even at the box office. The aforementioned production cost, for the record, ballooned after schedule delays caused by the SAG-AFTRA strike and the scale of the endeavor, which required filming across locations like the UK, Malta, South Africa, and Norway. Marketing expenses also make up a large chunk of the cost. In India, it looks like franchise fatigue is keeping viewers from flocking to theaters. Competition from another Hollywood release, Final Destination: Bloodlines, could also be hurting MI8's run in the region. In conclusion, Mission: Impossible 8 remains a decent performer in India but misses the blockbuster mark it would have desired. If the current trajectory holds, The Final Reckoning may end up under Dead Reckoning's Rs 106 crore net in the market.

Box Office: Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning sets franchise Memorial Day record with USD 15M Monday and USD 79M 4-day domestic debut
Tom Cruise's swan song as Ethan Hunt is off to a roaring start. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning has set a new Memorial Day Monday record for the franchise with a strong USD 15 million, just a 20.6 percent drop from its Sunday gross. The figure beat Mission: Impossible 2's USD 13 million, the previous franchise best for the holiday, and pushed the film's four-day domestic debut to USD 79 million. With the performance, The Final Reckoning lands the 16th biggest Memorial Day weekend opening of all time, edging past Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (USD 78.5 million). Impressively, it also makes Cruise the only star with three titles in the all-time Memorial Day Top 20: Mission: Impossible 2, Top Gun: Maverick, and now The Final Reckoning. The film's performance so far is particularly notable given its challenges. It faced stiff competition from several major box office performers, had fewer showings due to its extended runtime, and played in the fewest number of theaters for a Mission: Impossible release since Ghost Protocol. Still, Cruise's star power and the franchise's reputation for delivering edge-of-the-seat action proved more than enough to draw audiences. Directed by longtime collaborator Christopher McQuarrie, The Final Reckoning is the eighth and final installment in the iconic spy franchise. It follows Ethan Hunt and his IMF team as they battle to stop the Entity, a rogue artificial intelligence threatening global catastrophe. The film features returning stars Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Henry Czerny, and Angela Bassett. The road to release wasn't easy for MI 8. Originally planned to be filmed back-to-back with Dead Reckoning Part One (2023), production on The Final Reckoning was delayed, first by the COVID-19 pandemic and later by the SAG-AFTRA strike. Filming resumed in 2024 and wrapped in November after shooting across locations like the UK, Malta, South Africa, and Norway. With a reported budget of USD 300 to 400 million, The Final Reckoning is one of the most expensive movies ever made. It premiered in Tokyo on May 5 and screened out of competition at Cannes on May 14 before dropping in worldwide theaters on May 23. Critically acclaimed and commercially solid, The Final Reckoning has grossed over USD 200 million globally, making it the eighth highest-grossing film of the year so far and the biggest opening weekend in the Mission: Impossible franchise's history.

Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the film features returning cast members Hayley Atwell, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, Angela Bassett, and Henry Czerny. Cruise reprises his role as the aforementioned IMF agent who, this time, races to prevent a rogue AI known as The Entity from triggering a global catastrophe. After a strong opening of Rs 15 crore plus and sustaining momentum over its two day weekend, collecting Rs 31.25 crore in two days, MI8 experienced weekday drops but rebounded with Rs 7 crore on its second Saturday. It matched its second Saturday numbers on 2nd Sunday.

Although it looks unlikely for MI8 to trump MI7, we can't ignore the fact that nothing is impossible for Ethan Hunt. Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning plays in theatres now.
