Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One is poised to surpass its production cost within just one week, with estimates suggesting worldwide earnings of $250 million in its first five days. Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt faces off against a mysterious organization tied to his past, and the film has garnered critical acclaim, being hailed by some as the greatest Mission: Impossible installment to date. This impressive box office success indicates that Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One is on track to recoup nearly its entire $290 million production budget within its debut week.
How Successful Will Mission Impossible 7 Be?
Early reports suggest that Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One is set to have a record-breaking opening week at the domestic box office, projected to earn an impressive $90 million. This would surpass the previous highest opening of any Mission: Impossible film, held by Mission: Impossible - Fallout at $61.2 million. Given its massive expected debut, there is a strong possibility that Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One could become the most successful movie in the Mission: Impossible franchise.
However, it is important to note that the film's $290 million production budget does not account for other expenses, such as advertising and the share of ticket sales that theaters receive. Taking these additional costs into consideration, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One will need to generate at least $800 million in box office revenue in order to be deemed a success. This would require it to surpass the current highest-grossing Mission: Impossible film, Fallout, which earned slightly over $791 million globally.
With Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One already receiving a highly positive response, the latest installment may generate enough revenue at the box office to be profitable. However, considering the recent underperformance of big-budget films like The Flash and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, as well as fierce competition from Barbie and Oppenheimer the following week, it is uncertain whether the latest Mission: Impossible will face a similar outcome. Nonetheless, considering the massive success of Cruise's Top Gun: Maverick, which earned $1.496 billion last year, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One has the potential to become a blockbuster during the summer season.
