"Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning," the latest installment starring Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt, is making waves at the Indian box office as it enters its third week. After a slight dip in momentum during its second week, the action-packed film has rebounded, showcasing the enduring popularity of the franchise and Cruise's star power.
On its fifteenth day in theaters (May 31, 2025), "Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning" earned an estimated ₹3.5 crore in India, a significant jump from the ₹1.76 crore it collected on the previous day. This brings the film's total Indian box office collection to a solid ₹86.41 crore across all languages. The weekend boost indicates renewed audience interest, pushing the film closer to the coveted ₹90 crore mark.
The film had a decent start when it hit theaters on May 17, with fans flocking to see Cruise reprise his iconic role as Ethan Hunt, known for his jaw-dropping stunts and intense action sequences. In its opening week, "The Final Reckoning" collected ₹54.4 crore, benefiting from the hype and loyalty of the franchise's Indian fan base.
While the film is performing well, it's worth noting that it still trails behind its 2023 predecessor, "Dead Reckoning Part One," which earned ₹98.35 crore within its first two weeks. However, "The Final Reckoning" appears to be outperforming "Dead Reckoning" on comparable days, with Saturday's collections surpassing those seen on Day 15 of the previous film's run.
Globally, "Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning" has surpassed $220 million, with $86.2 million from the domestic market and $136.1 million from international territories.
"Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning" is directed by Christopher McQuarrie and features an ensemble cast including Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Henry Czerny, Angela Bassett, and Pom Klementieff. The film continues the story of Ethan Hunt and his IMF team as they race against time to prevent a rogue AI known as the Entity from wreaking global chaos. With a massive estimated budget of USD 300–400 million, the film is one of the most expensive ever made.
As "The Final Reckoning" heads deeper into its third week, it remains to be seen whether it can maintain its momentum and inch closer to the ₹100 crore milestone at the Indian box office. For now, Cruise continues to prove his box office might in one of Hollywood's most beloved action franchises.
