Tom Cruise Has A Message For The Fans About The Last ‘30 Years' Mission: Impossible As The Final Reckoning Delights Audiences In Theaters
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Fate has always been kind to Ethan Hunt, even in his darkest hour. As the 2025 movie schedule sees Tom Cruise's action mainstay choosing to accept one final mission, the end of an era has arrived. And as we honor Mission: Impossible 8 truly marking the finale, Cruise himself has highlighted the event through a heartfelt social media tribute to all who took part in, and admired, the Paramount franchise. Taking advantage of Instagram's image-friendly platform, the iconic action performer shared an impressive collection of Mission: Impossible photos. He showcased every director that's taken part in this journey, as well as a bunch of shots dealing with action and friendship on set. He also tipped with this tipped his hat to those who had a hand along the way: Over 30 years ago, I began the journey of producing my first film, Mission: Impossible. Since then, these eight films have taken me on the adventure of a lifetime. To the incredible directors, actors, artists, and crews across the globe that have helped bring these stories to life, I thank you. It has been a privilege to work alongside you all. I still find it hard to believe that Mission: Impossible's 1996 release is almost celebrating 30 years of fuse lighting. Maybe it's because of the 60+ year history of James Bond movies embedded in my mind, or perhaps it's one of those times where someone could swear that the '90s were just a decade ago, but it's incredible to be sitting at this point in history. That's even with the bittersweet acknowledgement of how the late great Phillip Seymour Hoffman is no longer with us, after seeing that beautifully goofy shot of his role in Mission: Impossible III. Paramount Plus: from $7.99 a month/$79.99 a yearStarting as little as $7.99 a month with ads, or $12.99 a month with the Showtime-inclusive/ad-free Premium plan, a Paramount+ subscription isn't hard to accept. Home to all seven Mission: Impossible films, as well as every season of the original TV series, there are plenty of impossible feats to observe in the streaming realm. And once you've caught up, you can also enjoy original programming like MobLand, The Agency, and several spinoffs from Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone Deal As I pointed out in our Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning review, that sort of reverence is also present in director Christopher McQuarrie's current box office hit. Short of watching all of the prior films with a Paramount+ subscription, this is one of the best sequels to use as an introductory point to new fans. The same goes for fans who may have forgotten Dead Reckoning's plot, as this Memorial Day blockbuster can even assist those who've been running with the IMF since day one. No matter how long you've been watching Mission: Impossible, this next message from Tom Cruise is for you: Most importantly, I want to thank the audience, for whom it is our great pleasure to create these films, and for whom we all serve. We're thrilled to share The Final Reckoning with you. Our time with Tom Cruise's variant of Mission: Impossible is over, or at least it should be after The Final Reckoning's definitive ending. With memories like the ones recalled above, and the insane stunts and twists that came as a result, who could really be sad though? If you want to pay your own respects to the adventures of Ethan Hunt, you can see the final Mission: Impossible movie as it currently reckons its way through a theater near you.

Mission: Impossible 8 Director on Why Rebecca Ferguson's Ilsa Doesn't Return
Christopher McQuarrie has explained why Mission: Impossible 8 did not bring back Rebecca Ferguson's Ilsa Faust, addressing fan reactions following her death in the previous film. He emphasized the importance of permanent consequences in the franchise's storytelling. McQuarrie also discussed how this decision supports the series' emotional impact and realism. Rebecca Ferguson's character, Ilsa Faust, does not return in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning following her death in Dead Reckoning. Despite fan backlash and theories suggesting she might have survived. Director Christopher McQuarrie has confirmed her death is permanent. Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, McQuarrie said, 'The death of essential characters has followed Ethan throughout every one of these movies. I don't think up until that point a character that resonated so deeply with the audience had died… that wouldn't motivate me to undo the one thing that gives Mission: Impossible teeth, which is death is permanent.' He emphasized that undoing her death would weaken the franchise's emotional stakes and credibility. Fan theories suggested that Ilsa faked her death as part of a plan against the Entity, supported by Ethan's earlier instructions and symbolic cues from the title Dead Reckoning. Some pointed to Biblical allusions and narrative gaps as signs that she might reappear. However, McQuarrie dismissed these speculations following the film's release. Since Dead Reckoning premiered in 2023, McQuarrie has repeatedly addressed the issue, stating that Ilsa's death serves a narrative purpose and that they will not reverse it. Now that The Final Reckoning is in theaters, the creative team confirms Ilsa's absence to maintain continuity and emotional weight. The eighth installment, written by McQuarrie and Erik Jendresen, sees Ethan Hunt and his IMF team confronting the AI known as the Entity. While several returning characters appear in The Final Reckoning, Ferguson's Ilsa is notably absent due to the story's commitment to realistic consequences. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning released on May 23, 2025, with a runtime of 170 minutes. It is directed by Christopher McQuarrie, who previously directed several entries in the franchise.

Lilo & Stitch And The New Mission: Impossible Clashed At The Box Office This Weekend, And There Was A Clear Winner
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. After a few weeks of battles between Thunderbolts* and Sinners and then a strong debut by Final Destination, Hollywood gave us an intriguing showdown this weekend. Disney opened the Lilo & Stitch live action adaptation against the debut of Paramount's Mission: Impossible Final Reckoning. Studio insiders were hoping both movies would be able to attract separate audiences, as well as a more limited group interested in double featuring, as so many did with Barbenheimer. We won't know exactly how many did the full StitchPossible this weekend, but we do know a lot of people showed up for both options. Each film was able to collect more than $60M from its opening weekend, though one of the two was able to generate a whole lot more. You can check out the estimated box office top 10 numbers floating around this morning and then some fuller analysis in subsequent paragraphs afterwards… Title Weekend Gross Domestic Gross LW THTRS 1. Lilo & Stitch $145,500,000 $145,500,000 N/A 4,410 2. Mission: Impossible 8 $63,000,000 $63,000,000 N/A 3,857 3. Final Destination: Bloodlines $19,650,000 $89,782,000 1 3,523 4. Thunderbolts* $9,164,000 $171,371,728 2 3,180 5. Sinners $8,750,000 $256,551,000 3 2,632 6. The Last Rodeo $5,266,330 $5,266,330 N/A 2,205 7. Friendship $4,591,384 $6,634,820 7 1,055 8. A Minecraft Movie $2,210,000 $420,843,000 4 2,087 9. The Accountant 2 $1,970,000 $62,871,750 5 2,002 10. Hurry Up Tomorrow $740,000 $4,813,964 5 1,508 This weekend may have been talked about as a showdown between Lilo & Stitch and Mission: Impossible 8, but the winner has been pretty obvious for awhile. The buzz around the Disney adaptation has been really strong for months and tracking on early ticket purchasing made it clear it was going to put up a really big number this weekend. After it made almost $15M in previews on Thursday, there was some speculation it could even put up a $200M extended holiday box office weekend. That's unlikely to happen, but those estimates were always optimistic thinking anyway. The goal for Disney was likely to get over $150M over the course of the weekend, and it'll surpass that benchmark easily on Monday, likely ending up more in the $175M range. Mission: Impossible will likely surpass $75,000,000 over the course of the long weekend, and while that's not anywhere close to Lilo & Stitch, it should still be considered a good start. The film was expensive to produce on account of all the practical stunts Tom Cruise always does, but it should have extended life at the box office and a lot of ways to make money after that theatrical release is done. Each new entry into the franchise reportedly boosts the streams on all the other movies, creating a positive cycle. A lot has been made about where Marvel is at as a franchise right now. The studio has been open about slowing down its production schedule and not making movies for the sake of making movies. Clearly, fans are no longer going to see everything the studio puts out. Instead, they're choosing based on the specific title. That worked out fine for several high profile sequels over the past few years (Black Panther 2, Guardians 3, Deadpool & Wolverine), but it also left a lot of titles struggling to get over $200,000,000 at the domestic box office. Captain America 4 barely got there, and recently entries like The Marvels and Eternals didn't really come close. Thunderbolts* should get there, which is a solid accomplishment for characters many fans aren't familiar with. Strong reviews and fan scores should also help everything upcoming on Marvel's release schedule, even if some titles were recently delayed. Next week, we're scheduled to get A24's buzzy new horror movie Bring Her Back, as well as the new Karate Kid. Both of those movies should do solid business at the box office, but it'll be interesting to see whether either can compete with either Mission or Lilo on their second weekends. Eric will be back next week to let you know.

Lilo & Stitch Just Did the Impossible. It Took Down Mission Impossible At Box Office
Last Updated: Lilo & Stitch grossed a whopping $145.5 million domestically over the four-day weekend, whereas Mission: Impossible 8 earned only $77 million. The Memorial Day holiday weekend proved to be a lucrative one for the box office, with two of the highly anticipated Hollywood projects battling it out for the top spot. On one hand, the eighth and final instalment of Tom Cruise 's Mission: Impossible franchise, titled The Final Reckoning, was released in theatres on May 23. It clashed with Disney's live-action remake of its 2002 movie Lilo & Stitch. While both films broke records, it was Disney's Lilo & Stitch that ultimately stole the show, both in ticket sales and winning audiences' hearts. The family-friendly film, directed by Dean Fleischer Camp, is a live-action animated remake of the 2002 film by the same name. It grossed a whopping $145.5 million domestically over the four-day weekend, according to Box Office Mojo. Lilo & Stitch's global earnings reached $341 million, easily making it one of the highest-grossing films in the first half of 2025. The live-action animated film follows the story of a Hawaiian girl named Lilo Pelekai, played by Maia Kealoha, and her troublemaking blue koala-like alien pet named Stitch, voiced by Chris Sanders. Tom Cruise returns as IMF agent Ethan Hunt one last time in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. Although the spy action film marked a high point for the long-running franchise, the eighth MI film earned only $77 million in the four-day weekend, which is a bit more than half of the earnings of Lilo & Stitch. The film globally minted $204, which is $137 short of the Disney film's earnings. However, The Final Reckoning still set a new opening weekend record for the spy action movie franchise, which has been running since 1996. Paramount, the production company of Mission Impossible films, rolled out an ambitious global promotional campaign for the final film of the series. It included star-studded premieres in Tokyo, Seoul, Cannes, London and New York City, with Cruise himself present to meet and greet the attendees. Moreover, the 62-year-old actor also personally greeted the moviegoers in Texas to create hype regarding the film. MI 8 is set to release in China next, offering the potential for an increase in earnings. But it turned out that Disney's strategy paid off more in making the Lilo & Stitch a success. The Stitch brand has grown into a retail powerhouse, with the company even reporting a staggering $2.6 billion in merchandise sales in the last financial year, which is an unprecedented increase from $200 million just five years back. Moreover, the film's runtime of 1 hour and 48 minutes, compared to The Final Reckoning's 2 hours and 50 minutes, has also proved to be advantageous for it, allowing for more shows per day.
