Back-to-back losses for Paramount & Tom Cruise! After Mission Impossible 7, Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning fails to reach breakeven

Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning Far From Breakeven:

The Mission Impossible franchise is facing tough times at the box office. After Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One (MI 7) failed to recover its $600 million breakeven target with a global gross of $571 million, the latest installment, Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning (MI 8), is heading in the same direction.

Despite still being in theaters, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning has only managed to collect $508 million worldwide so far. However, with a much higher breakeven point of $800 million, it is highly unlikely to reach profitability. Many have questioned this before, and the question becomes more valid than ever now after seeing the box office numbers: Was there any need to take the budget as high as $400 million? The answer should be no.

This marks back-to-back financial disappointments for the long-running action series led by Tom Cruise. Although the franchise has always maintained a loyal fan base and critical acclaim, it has never truly dominated the global box office like its action counterparts, such as the James Bond series. The final two films in the Mission: Impossible franchise, including Reckoning Part One and Part Two, struggled to generate strong profits after production and marketing costs.

Many believe that ballooning budgets, delays due to the pandemic, and increased competition have hurt the franchise's financial standing. While Tom Cruise remains a bankable star, the expectations tied to each Mission: Impossible film have grown bigger than their actual box office returns. The Mission: Impossible franchise will end without a single $1 billion grosser, which reflects its limited popularity at the global box office.
