Can Tom Cruise’s Upcoming Installment Help The Franchise To Unleash This Glorious Milestone?

Tom Cruise fans are counting the days until Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning’s theatrical release’s release. The Mission Impossible 8 feature will likely be the last film in the franchise, which kickstarted in 1996, almost three decades ago. It is one of the highest-grossing franchises in the history of cinema, and it has a chance to achieve a massive milestone at the worldwide box office with MI8. Keep scrolling for the deets.

The film follows Tom’s character, Ethan Hunt, a senior field agent of the IMF who is highly skilled in espionage, combat, and strategy. Tom is a stunt legend, and the franchise is popular because of its insane stunts. He is responsible for tackling the world’s most perilous and off-the-record assignments. Each installment sees Hunt and his team take on challenges that are, quite literally, nearly impossible to accomplish.

Mission Impossible 7 was released in 2023, and due to the Barbenheimer clash, the film suffered at the box office. The upcoming film has a colossal budget and is said to be one of the most expensive films ever made in Hollywood. According to reports, Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning reportedly has an explosive budget of $400 million, and thus, it needs around $1 billion to be called a box office success.

It will be released over Memorial Day weekend, clashing with Lilo & Stitch. Based on Box Office Mojo‘s data and adding the seven films, their cumulative total has crossed $4 billion. They have collected $4.14 billion worldwide, and it has a chance to hit the $5 billion mark globally. It will be a notable achievement for the franchise.

• Mission: Impossible III (2006) – $398.5 million
• Mission: Impossible (1996) – $457.7 million
