Mission accomplished: Tom Cruise's MI 8 storms past $500 million globally
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning has smashed yet another significant milestone at the global box office. The movie exceeded Mission: Impossible I & III's global box office collection and is now on track to surpass the second movie, which is anticipated to take place this coming weekend. Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning was released on May 23.
Next weekend, the movie will surpass Dead Reckoning's domestic collections and rank as the 6th highest-grossing entry in the series. As Tom Cruise's final run as Ethan Hunt gathers steam, the film must maintain its box office momentum to close out the franchise on a high. Since he has been playing Ethan Hunt for around 29 years, it is a fond farewell for the fans. Furthermore, the audience is consistently impressed by Tom's thrilling stunts in these films.
