How Did Dead Reckoning Part One Fare in Theaters?
: In this scene from the movie, we find Cruise's character at Abu Dhabi airport, where he unexpectedly meets Grace, portrayed by Hayley Atwell. Meanwhile, Benji (played by Simon Pegg) and Luther (played by Ving Rhames) are desperately trying to deactivate a nuclear bomb.
Similar to previous releases in the series, McQuarrie's most recent addition was met with acclaim from critics. In fact, it received some of the highest praise within the franchise, rivaled only by Mission: Impossible – Fallout. The overall response from viewers has also been favorable, as evidenced by the 94% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes for Mission: Impossible 7.
Unfortunately, the film faced poor timing as it fell victim to unfavorable circumstances. Despite receiving positive reviews, Mission: Impossible 7 had a short theatrical run of less than two weeks before the release of Barbie and Oppenheimer. The overwhelming excitement surrounding the "Barbenheimer" phenomenon overshadowed the Cruise flick, and the dominance of Oppenheimer in IMAX screens dealt another significant blow.
Moreover, with a budget inflated by COVID, approximately $290 million, McQuarrie's movie had a high bar for success. Currently, Mission: Impossible 7's box office earnings stand at about $563.8 million worldwide, which might not have been sufficient to cover its expenses. Nevertheless, the positive reviews indicate that Cruise and McQuarrie have produced yet another impressive sequel. There is a possibility that Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One will make up for its underwhelming theatrical performance with strong numbers from video-on-demand as more viewers have the opportunity to experience the movie.
