Box Office: Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning opens to USD 5.4M in China, ranks as 2025's 3rd biggest Hollywood debut
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is off to a solid start in China, opening to USD 5.4 million on Friday and securing the third-biggest opening for a Hollywood film in 2025. The Tom Cruise-led action spy thriller outpaced contemporaries like Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, and Free Guy, both of which raked in USD 5.1M, USD 5.2M, respectively, and trailed Dune: Part Two (USD 6M). In this year's Hollywood lineup, MI8 fell behind A Minecraft Movie (USD 6.5M) and Captain America: Brave New World (USD 5.6M). The film was released across more than 106,000 screens in China, with 64.8 percent of Friday ticket sales coming from walk-up bookings, suggesting strong same-day interest despite modest pre-sale figures. It also drew a stellar 9.4/10 audience score on Maoyan, the highest for any Mission: Impossible film to date, surpassing Dead Reckoning Part One (8.9), Fallout, and Rogue Nation (both 9.0). On Douban, the film currently holds a 7.7 rating, reflecting strong word of mouth that could drastically boost its weekend momentum. Thanks to its encouraging debut-day reception, The Final Reckoning has already pulled in USD 2.1 million in Saturday pre-sales, double the reception of A Minecraft Movie and nearly tripling Captain America 4's advance numbers. 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. Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, The Final Reckoning, for those who may not know, is a direct sequel to 2023's Dead Reckoning Part One and the eighth and final installment in the long-running franchise. Cruise returns as IMF agent Ethan Hunt, alongside Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Henry Czerny, and Angela Bassett. The story follows the team's high-stakes mission to stop a rogue AI known as the Entity from triggering a global catastrophe. With a production budget reportedly between USD 300 to 400 million, the film is among the most expensive ever made. It premiered in Tokyo on May 5, screened out of competition at Cannes on May 14, and opened in global theaters on May 23. It has already grossed USD 227.1 million worldwide, becoming the eighth-highest-grossing film of 2025 so far.

Box Office: The Final Reckoning wraps China pre-sales at USD 3.2M, eyes USD 24M–USD 30M opening weekend
Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning is looking at a high-stakes debut in China today. The Tom Cruise-led action film wrapped its seven-day ticket pre-sale campaign on Thursday with a total of USD 3.2 million secured for the Friday-to-Sunday launch window, setting the stage for what could be a No. 1 opening weekend in the country. The pre-sale figure places the eighth installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise alongside notable past openers, including Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (USD 3M), Dead Reckoning (USD 3.2M), and No Time to Die (USD 3.3M). However, it trails behind recent bigger pre-sale performers such as Deadpool & Wolverine (USD 3.7M), Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (USD 4.5M), Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (USD 6M), and Jurassic World Dominion (USD 7.1M). Breaking down the numbers, The Final Reckoning earned USD 1.9 million in pre-sales for its Friday opening day, followed by USD 935,000 for Saturday and USD 309,000 for Sunday. Despite a strong start, momentum waned in the final three days of advance bookings, with sales stagnating and eventually matching those of Dead Reckoning, despite initially outpacing it. One key factor contributing to the slowdown is the absence of Thursday preview screenings, a decision by the studio that has left the film heavily reliant on its Friday performance to build word-of-mouth. Still, exhibitors in China appear optimistic, given 106,000 screenings have been booked for the day, indicating solid industry confidence. Given the current trajectory, The Final Reckoning is projected to open between USD 24 million and USD 30 million in its three-day debut, depending on how well general bookings do. It remains to be seen if the latest entry can outpace Dead Reckoning's USD 24.8 million opening in China two years ago. Mission: Impossible 8 Trailer HERE: Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the film continues the saga of Ethan Hunt (Cruise) and his IMF team as they confront a rogue AI threatening humanity. The ensemble cast includes Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Henry Czerny, and Angela Bassett. With a production budget between USD 300 and USD 400 million, it ranks among the most expensive films ever made. Following its global rollout on May 23, The Final Reckoning has already grossed USD 227.1 million worldwide and is currently the eighth highest-grossing film of 2025. Its performance in China this weekend could provide a critical boost to its international totals.

After Forgetting Everything About Dead Reckoning, I Was So Grateful For One Thing In Mission: Impossible
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Beware, there are light spoilers in this story, nothing that should ruin the story of Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, but I am going to talk about the first 20 minutes of the movie. The Mission: Impossible franchise drops its 'final' movie, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, this week, and it's one of the most anticipated releases on the 2025 movie schedule. It also comes with a long runtime - over two hours and forty minutes! I'll be honest, as fun as the M:I movies are, I wasn't thrilled to see it was going to take that kind of time commitment. The good news is that the movie doesn't feel long. It's paced well and there are a ton of great stunts and action scenes (as you'd expect from any film in the franchise), and the movie barrels along at a great clip. The first 20 minutes or so of the film are also very helpful, at least for people like me, who had forgotten everything about the previous installment – the first part of the two-part story to end the long-running Tom Cruise-led juggernaut, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning, which came out in 2023. The Mission: Impossible brand started as a TV show in the 1960s, so it's only fitting that The Final Reckoning starts with a recap of not only the last movie, but all seven of the previous films in the franchise. It might not be the most elegant way to remind people like me who just completely forgot what went on, but I was very grateful for it. The thing about Mission: Impossible movies for me is that I tend to just let them wash over me. I don't spend a lot of time thinking about them, even in the moment. I see them as a great way to chomp on some buttery popcorn, have some laughs, and go for the thrill ride. So when pesky things like dialog, or, say, a plot, get in the way, I just dismiss them. Or, more to the point, I don't dwell on them. It's another reason I don't rank the Mission: Impossible movies, as they are all equally fun for me, if not thought-provoking. I've seen every Mission: Impossible movie in theaters, going all the way back to the first movie in 1996. There have been a lot of missions, a lot of characters, both good guys and bad, and a ton of awesome stunts. Last month, before the final installment came out, I decided I would use my Paramount+ subscription to rewatch all seven of the previous entries. I made it through the first one, and then other stuff got in the way. There were new movies to watch, TV shows to binge, life to live, work to do, so I never went back to them. Paramount Plus: from $7.99 a month/$79.99 a yearCatch up with the entire Mission: Impossible franchise with Paramount Plus. All seven of the previous movies are now available on the streaming service, but you get CBS TV shows and a whole bunch of other Paramount movies. Opt for its Essential plan or go ad-free and get double the catalog with Showtime through the Premium plan from $12.99 a month. Alternatively, get 12 months for the price of 10 with its annual Deal Before I saw Final Reckoning, I quickly scanned Wikipedia for a refresher, so when I sat down with my big bucket o' corn and settled in for a nearly 3-hour tour, I was ready. Then, the recap came, and I was actually excited. It's much better to be reminded on the big screen of all the amazing stunts over the years, and put faces to names again. It made the next 2-plus hours so much more enjoyable. So, if you're like me and you've forgotten some of the major plot points of either the last Mission: Impossible movie or all of them, don't worry. It's still really easy to enjoy the final mission with Ethan Hunt and company without doing any homework.
