For movie enthusiasts, an exciting challenge presents itself when Tom Cruise graces cinemas worldwide this May in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. Fans seem eager to respond, as suggested by the film’s projected box office earnings. According to Quorum’s data, the new collaboration between Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie (McQ) could potentially earn $100 million in its first three days domestically, setting a franchise record for opening weekends.

  7. ($12.8 million) Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol

Fans eagerly await another installment of the “Mission: Impossible” series, as they know Tom Cruise will once again perform his own death-defying stunts. If this is indeed the final chapter for Cruise’s character Ethan Hunt, it promises to be a deeply moving film, according to co-star Ving Rhames who spoke with MovieWeb in March. While it may be challenging to surpass the beloved “Fallout,” each film in the franchise has consistently exceeded its predecessors, earning praise from both fans and critics alike.

Critics and Fans Agree on Their Love for ‘Mission: Impossible’

In the exhilarating preview for “Mission: Impossible – The Last Mission,” released on April 7 and garnering over 12.6 million views in five days, Ethan Hunt relies on his IMF team’s faith in him one last time. But will viewers have confidence in Tom Cruise and McQ to flock to theaters when “The Last Mission” premieres during Memorial Day Weekend? Given past trends, it seems likely that cinemas will be packed as audiences eagerly await “The Last Mission.”

Over time, critics have consistently backed the “Mission: Impossible” series, with four films (“Dead Reckoning,” “Fallout,” “Rogue Nation,” and “Ghost Protocol”) all earning the title of “Certified Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes. With such acclaim, it’s no secret that Tom Cruise and the rest of the team will strive to please their audience. However, reaching the billion-dollar mark at the box office would be a first for the “Mission: Impossible” franchise, and achieving this feat depends largely on fan support. Who knows? When “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” hits the 2025 box office on May 23, it might just reach that elusive financial milestone.
