Box Office: Holdover Mission Impossible – The Final Reckoning tops newcomer Karate Kid Legends with USD 27.3M in 2nd weekend
Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning continued to hold steady at the US box office, pulling in USD 27.3 million in its second weekend. Despite the arrival of Karate Kid Legends, the action-espionage thriller remained in the No. 2 spot, proving once again the enduring, albeit slightly injured, appeal of the Mission: Impossible brand and Cruise's unmatched box office power. The film witnessed a 57.3 percent drop from its Memorial Day-aided opening weekend, a better hold than its predecessor, Dead Reckoning Part One, which waned 64.6 percent in the same frame with a smaller USD 19.4 million take. With a current US total of USD 122.6 million, The Final Reckoning is eyeing a domestic take between USD 190 million and USD 210 million. Its second-weekend numbers rank among the top Memorial Day sequels of all time, placing just behind major hits like Top Gun: Maverick (USD 90 million, -28.9 percent) and Lilo & Stitch (USD 63 million, -56.8 percent). The film outperformed legacy titles, including Solo: A Star Wars Story and X-Men: Days of Future Past, despite having fewer screenings, a longer runtime, and the lowest theater count for a Mission: Impossible film since Ghost Protocol. The two aforementioned films had raked in USD 29.4 million and USD 32.6 million, respectively. Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, The Final Reckoning is the final entry in the franchise and a direct sequel to 2023's Dead Reckoning Part One. It features Ethan Hunt and his IMF team in a high-stakes race to stop a rogue AI known as the Entity from unleashing a global catastrophe.

With an estimated budget of USD 300 to USD 400 million, the shooting spanned multiple countries, including England, Malta, Norway, and South Africa. Originally intended to be Dead Reckoning Part Two, the film was retitled The Final Reckoning ahead of its May 2025 release. Following its May 5 world premiere in Tokyo and an out-of-competition May 14 screening at Cannes, the film launched theatrically across the globe on May 23. It has since grossed USD 352 million worldwide to become the eighth highest-grossing film of 2025 by delivering the franchise's biggest opening weekend to date.

Mission Impossible 8 Box Office Day 16: Tom Cruise's Film Bounces Back, Mints Rs 90 Crore
Last Updated: Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One has grossed Rs 90 crore in India. Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the film marks Cruise's final outing as Ethan Hunt. Tom Cruise is back to doing what he does best — defying gravity and box office expectations. On Day 16, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One pulled off yet another high-octane stunt at the Indian box office. After a mid-week slowdown, the film has bounced back with style, raking in a cool Rs 90 crore so far. Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible 8 entered the third week in India on a strong note. Directed by Christopher McQuarrie and co-written with Erik Jendresen, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning marks Tom Cruise's final outing as the legendary spy Ethan Hunt. The film also stars Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Henry Czerny, and Angela Bassett. The film pocketed Rs 3.65 crore on Day 15 (third Saturday) and followed it up with a slightly better Rs 3.75 crore on Day 16 (third Sunday), according to early estimates. That pushes the total India collection to a solid Rs 90.45 crore across all languages. The final chapter in the Mission: Impossible saga kicked off with a decent run when it hit theatres on May 17. Fans rushed to catch Tom Cruise back in action as Ethan Hunt, pulling off gravity-defying stunts and intense fight scenes like only he can. The film had a strong start, bringing in Rs 54.4 crore in its first week. All eyes are on whether The Final Reckoning can keep up the pace and cruise its way to the Rs 100 crore mark in India. Ahead of the release, Tom Cruise had left Indian fans delighted by speaking in Hindi during a promotional video. 'Main aap sab se bahut pyaar karta hoon. Mujpe bharosa karo, ek akhri baar (I love you all a lot. Trust me one last time)," he said. He also shared his fond memories of visiting India, adding, 'I feel so much love for India. I have to say the whole experience has been etched in my memory. Every single moment. From the moment I landed, going to the Taj Mahal, and spending time in Mumbai, I remember each moment quite vividly." A part of News18's review of the film read, 'But what truly sets The Final Reckoning apart is its tone. It's not just an action blockbuster. It's an elegy. A goodbye. A thank-you. And somehow, despite all the chaos, it's also a reckoning with legacy, with sacrifice, with what it really means to be a hero when the world keeps moving the goalpost. The Final Reckoning is the most fitting, heart-racing, gut-wrenching finale Ethan Hunt could've asked for. If this really is the last mission, then hats off, Mr. Cruise. You didn't just complete it. You aced it." First Published:

Box Office: Soaring demand for The Final Reckoning prompts BFI IMAX to add 9am shows, delay How to Train Your Dragon debut
Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is proving to be an IMAX sensation in the UK, particularly at the iconic BFI IMAX in London. With demand surging and nearly all shows sold out, the cinema has opened additional 9 a.m. screenings. In an unprecedented move, it has also delayed the debut of How to Train Your Dragon from June 6 to 9, allowing The Final Reckoning to dominate the premium screen for an extended three-day window. Despite ticket prices ranging between approximately USD 32.30 to 37.70 and being non-refundable, fans are still showing up in large numbers, turning the film into an IMAX phenomenon, something Dead Reckoning never achieved during the Barbenheimer-dominated summer of 2023. Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, The Final Reckoning, for those uninitiated, is the eighth installment in the long-running Mission: Impossible series and serves as a direct sequel to Dead Reckoning Part One. Cruise reprises his iconic role as Ethan Hunt, alongside Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Henry Czerny, and Angela Bassett. This time, the Impossible Mission Force faces off against a rogue artificial intelligence known as The Entity, as it threatens to wreak global havoc. The film's production journey was ambitious, lengthy, and expensive. Originally intended to be shot back-to-back with its predecessor, production was disrupted by the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike and eventually wrapped in late 2024. Filming took place across several countries, including England, Malta, South Africa, and Norway. With a reported budget of USD 300 to 400 million, it ranks among the most expensive films ever made. The Final Reckoning premiered in Tokyo on May 5 and later screened out of competition at the Cannes Film Festival. It was released worldwide on May 23 to critical acclaim and has grossed USD 227.1 million globally, ranking as the eighth highest-grossing film of the year so far. It also recorded the franchise's biggest opening weekend to date. To promote the film, Tom Cruise made headlines in early May when he climbed to the roof of the BFI IMAX. In a fitting honor, he was also awarded the prestigious BFI Fellowship, solidifying his last of the Hollywood stars status both on and off screen.

The film is now projected to secure a USD 20–28 million three-day opening weekend in China, depending on how well its positive word of mouth continues to translate into footfalls. It's set to expand to over 116,000 screenings today, adding 10,000 more than Friday.

Lilo & Stitch beats Mission Impossible in UK box office battle
Lilo & Stitch beats Mission Impossible in UK box office battle Lilo & Stitch took £9.6 million at the combined box office in both countries on its first weekend of release, beating the £8.6 million grossed by Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning Disney have released the trailer for the live action Lilo & Stitch movie (Image: Disney ) A sci-fi comedy about a koala-like alien is proving more of a hit with cinemagoers in the UK and Ireland than Tom Cruise's latest spy thriller. Lilo & Stitch took £9.6 million at the combined box office in both countries on its first weekend of release, beating the £8.6 million grossed by Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. Both films were released in cinemas in time for the long bank holiday weekend, with The Final Reckoning – tipped to be Tom Cruise's last outing as secret agent Ethan Hunt – the favourite to pull in the crowds. But Cruise has been outperformed by furry blue extra-terrestrial Stitch and his adventures on Earth with young girl Lilo, who adopts the unpredictable and somewhat tempestuous creature as her pet. The Final Reckoning is the eighth instalment in the Mission: Impossible film franchise – the first appeared in 1996 – and continues the storyline of the preceding movie, Dead Reckoning Part One. Lilo & Stitch is also part of a franchise, but one that is neither as long nor as convoluted as Cruise's decade-spanning blockbusters. The characters first appeared in an animated film of the same name in 2002, which led to a TV series and several direct-to-video sequels. Box office figures have been published by the British Film Institute using data from Comscore. Article continues below They cover the period up to May 25, so do not include screenings on Monday, which was a bank holiday in the UK but not in Ireland. The highest-grossing film so far this year at the combined UK and Ireland box office is A Minecraft Movie, which has now taken £55.8 million. The second biggest film is Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, which has taken £46.4 million.
