Tom Cruise&rsquo;s final outing as Ethan Hunt isn&rsquo;t breaking records&mdash;but it&rsquo;s not backing down either. Mission: Impossible &ndash; The Final Reckoning has officially passed $125 million domestically and hit $356 million globally, showing solid legs weeks after release.
Despite its massive $400 million production budget, the film is holding its ground thanks to international markets and Cruise&rsquo;s ever-bankable stunt appeal. It opened with a franchise-best $63 million during Memorial Day weekend and continues to track ahead of Mission: Impossible II and Rogue Nation&mdash;putting it on pace to possibly outgross Dead Reckoning.
Cruise&rsquo;s now-viral plane stunt and the fact that this is the final chapter of the nearly 30-year saga are giving the movie added fuel, even as it faces summer competition. And while it might not reach Fallout&rsquo;s $791 million benchmark, it&rsquo;s proving there&rsquo;s still room for real-action, high-stakes blockbusters.
When comparing The Final Reckoning to the franchise&rsquo;s highest-performing installment, Mission: Impossible &ndash; Fallout (2018), the gap is hard to ignore. Fallout pulled in a staggering $786 million worldwide, with $220 million of that from the U.S. alone &mdash; making it the gold standard for Cruise&rsquo;s action legacy. In contrast, The Final Reckoning, while steady and successful in its own right, is trailing with a current $459 million global total, including $158 million domestic. The difference? Timing, less aggressive marketing, and a more crowded release window. But what Final Reckoning lacks in numbers, it makes up for in legacy weight &mdash; it&rsquo;s not trying to top the box office, it&rsquo;s wrapping up a 30-year saga with purpose.&nbsp;
Bottom line? Not Cruise&rsquo;s biggest win&mdash;but far from a flop. This mission may be impossible, but it&rsquo;s finishing strong.
