After years of jumping off cliffs, hanging from helicopters, and quite literally risking his neck for our entertainment, Tom Cruise is back on screens as Ethan Hunt in what is rumored to be the end of his journey with the Mission: Impossible franchise. As Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning storms the box office and thrills audiences with its death-defying stunts and emotional weight, Cruise made it clear: none of this would’ve been possible without the fans who’ve kept the fuse lit all these years.
Reaching out to fans through Instagram, Cruise thanked the team behind Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, who worked on the project, along with a special mention for his fans as he proclaimed his love for entertainment. The actor wrote,
"This weekend was one for the history books! Congratulations and thank you to every filmmaker, every artist, every crew member, and every single person who works at the studios. To every theater and every employee who helps bring these stories to audiences, thank you. To every one that works at Paramount Pictures and Skydance, thank you for your many years of partnership and unwavering support. And most of all, THANK YOU to audiences everywhere for whom we all serve and for whom we all LOVE to entertain."
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning's box office performance
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning didn’t just arrive in theaters; it exploded in full throttle, and claimed its place at the top of the box office with the kind of flair only Tom Cruise can deliver. The film opened with a thunderous $63 million domestically over three days, stretching to $77.5 million across the four-day Memorial Day weekend.
Globally, the Ethan Hunt finale packed a serious punch, raking in a whopping $127 million overseas and bringing its total worldwide opening haul to over $204 million. From packed theaters in Europe to standing ovations in India, the film’s reach is as widespread as its stunts are death-defying.
And yet, behind all the explosive action and adrenaline lies a steep $400 million budget, a reminder that making missions this impossible isn’t cheap. With China’s release just around the corner, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning might just Cruise its way to a profitable finish.
