Mission Impossible 8 vs Lilo & Stitch box office: Tom Cruise sets new record, still trails Disney film by $137 million
The extended Memorial Day weekend in the US saw the release of two big films. Tom Cruise returned as Ethan Hunt (possibly one last time) in Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning, while Disney set the screens on fire with the live-action adaptation of Lilo & Stitch. While collectively, the two films set a new box office record for the Memorial Day holiday weekend, it was Disney that won the battle, leaving MI 8 in the dust. (Also read: Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning earns $24 million, scores biggest opening day for franchise) Paramount pulled out all the stops to promote the new Mission Impossible with premieres in Seoul, Tokyo, Cannes, London and New York. Cruise also visited moviegoers at screenings in Texas. The opening ticket sales set a record for the franchise, which has generated more than $4 billion at the global box office since the first film was released in 1996. Figures released by Box Office Mojo revealed that Mission Impossible 8 earned $77 million domestically in its four-day opening weekend, and $204 million worldwide. This is a new opening weekend record for the Tom Cruise-led franchise. Given that the film will be releasing in China next, it augurs well for the film. But it was Lilo & Stitch that won the weekend. The live-action remake of the 2002 animated film about a Hawaiian girl and her dog-like extraterrestrial pet named Stitch, who's equally mischievous and adorable, claimed the No. 1 spot with $145.5 million in ticket sales. Box Office Mojo puts its worldwide four-day earnings at a staggering $341 million, far eclipsing Mission Impossible 8. The Stitch franchise has become a Disney juggernaut in recent years. Some $2.6 billion worth of retail products associated with Lilo & Stitch were sold in the company's last fiscal year, Disney said, up from $200 million just five years ago. It's now among the company's top-ten best-selling properties and has spurred broad online fandom. Lilo & Stitch has a commercial advantage over most films because it has a short run time of 90 minutes. Running an hour less than the Cruise picture means theatre operators can show it more times.

Paramount (PARA) Beats Q1 Estimates as Streaming, Studio Revenue Climb
Paramount Global (PARA, Financials) outpaced Wall Street expectations in Q1 2025, powered by strong growth in streaming and filmed entertainment, even as executives brace for U.S.-China trade pressures. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Signs with PARA. Revenue reached $7.19 billion in the first quarter, topping the $7.09 billion consensus estimate. Adjusted earnings per share were $0.29, ahead of analysts' projection of $0.25, according to LSEG. The direct-to-consumer unit, which includes Paramount+, BET+, and PlutoTV, generated $2.04 billion in revenue up 9% year over year. Filmed entertainment contributed $627 million, a 4% increase, supported by post-theatrical releases. The company added 1.5 million Paramount+ subscribers during the quarter, slightly below the 1.66 million expected. Co-CEO Chris McCarthy said Paramount is focusing on key investments while trimming non-content costs amid ongoing global uncertainty. The leadership noted no "meaningful impact" yet from macroeconomic volatility. Paramount reaffirmed plans to close its $8 billion merger with Skydance Media in the first half of the year. The company is also counting on Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning to lift Q2 studio revenue, with speculation that this could be Tom Cruise's final turn as Ethan Hunt. Morgan Stanley analysts flagged potential risks from President Trump's proposal for a 100% tariff on non-U.S. films a policy that could disrupt Paramount's international operations.

Mission Impossible: Can one of the biggest film franchises finish with a bang?
Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning (M, 170 minutes) 3 stars Tom Cruise has been entertaining audiences with daring stunts as Ethan Hunt for almost 30 years now. From scaling rock faces to climbing the world's tallest building, hanging onto a plane on take-off or riding a motorcycle off a cliff, if there's one thing you can rely on when it comes to a Mission: Impossible film, it's death-defying stunts. So with three decades of unbelievable action work before it, can Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (widely touted as the last entry in the franchise) really raise the bar? Well, yes and no. This film, eighth in the franchise and a direct extension of 2023's Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1 (not all of us have forgotten this one was supposed to be a part two), ties together some loose ends from the past. The last film saw Hunt and co secure a very plot-important key from chief antagonist Gabriel (Esai Morales, less menacing this time around), in an attempt to retrieve a piece of technology hidden in a sunken Russian submarine somewhere in the Arctic. This tech would allow the team to combat The Entity, an AI that is attempting to take over the world (apparently the Mission: Impossible universe learned nothing from Skynet). But if you've remembered none of that going into Final Reckoning, have no fear - there is an exhaustive amount of exposition in the first hour. In an odd decision for a film series that normally starts with a bang, writer-director Christopher McQuarrie opted to open the film with The Entity (illustrated by a pulsing blue light grid) monologuing, giving The Final Reckoning a distinctly science-fiction feel. We're not only subjected to a recap of the previous film - there's also a bunch of flashbacks to moments from all films in the series. The whole first hour feels like a clip show of old, and it's jarring for fans used to the fast pace of Mission: Impossible's other entries. After laying enough groundwork to build a major city, things finally start to kick into gear with a few action set-pieces. There's the obligatory running scene, Hunt and Grace (Hayley Atwell returning) being captured, bombs needing to be defused before the timer runs out, mask work (it truly never gets old) and more. But for the most part, these action sequences feel tamer than we're used to. The peril doesn't feel as high. After such a long introductory period, the action needs to really have you on the edge of your seat, and that doesn't happen until right at the end of the film. That's where we see the real show-stopper. It just might be the most ambitious stunt yet - and that includes Cruise breaking his ankle jumping between buildings and HALO jumping out of a helicopter. As shown in trailers and TV spots and promo images (like the one with this review), Cruise's big stunt this time involves the old art of wing walking, but dialled up to 11. With top-notch digital removal of the pilot and any safety gear, we see Cruise thrown about within the wings of his bi-plane, holding onto whatever piece of metal prevents him from plummeting to the earth. It's a stunning sequence that, in a better paced film, would have been up there will the all-time greats. But, unfortunately, the audience is already so tired of having been in the cinema over two hours by this point that some of the enthusiasm for Hunt's survival has waned. You see, there's just no escaping the fact that, unlike Cruise's body which he is clearly very keen to show off here, The Final Reckoning is damagingly bloated. The script also treats minor incidents and plot points from previous entries in the series with a reverence usually saved for massive sci-fi franchises like Star Wars, Star Trek or Lord of the Rings. It's hard to imagine even the most dedicated of M:I fans care all that much about reliving small moments from the other films at the expense of this film getting on with the story. While still significantly better than the dud that is Mission: Impossible II and featuring some solid action and character moments, The Final Reckoning is not the memorable send-off you'd hope for.
