Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One turns out the best 5-day opening total of the franchise despite falling far below projections.
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One has broken a franchise record despite failing to match early expectations. The movie, which premiered in theaters on July 21, is the seventh outing for Tom Cruise as superspy Ethan Hunt, who first appeared in 1996's Mission: Impossible. This new movie pits Hunt and his team against the most deadly enemy yet, one that threatens the entire future of humanity.
Per Deadline, the Mission: Impossible 7 box office has raked in the best 5-day gross of any movie in the franchise. Although it fell toward the bottom of its projected range, it nevertheless grossed a total of $80 million at the domestic box office. This combines with the movie's international grosses for a whopping worldwide total of $235 million.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT How Will Mission: Impossible 7 Perform At The Box Office Overall? Although Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One has broken a franchise record, in the U.S. it still opened behind the lukewarm Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny box office. Both movies boast massive budgets , but Mission: Impossible 7 has the advantage of a strong international presence to bolster its relatively lukewarm domestic gross.
The highest-grossing movie in the franchise so far was 2018's Mission: Impossible - Fallout, which earned a 5-day total of $77.5 million. Considering how close this is to Dead Reckoning, it stands to reason that the new movie may not gross much higher than that entry's worldwide total of $786.6 million. This could push the Dead Reckoning into the black, but potentially not much farther than that.
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One is also facing some fierce box office competition in the coming weeks. Next weekend sees the much-memed double release of Barbie and Oppenheimer, which will almost certainly claim the No. 1 and No. 2 slots at the box office that weekend, respectively.
