Mission Impossible 8 Closes with Box Office Shortfall

News summary

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, the eighth and final film in the franchise, premiered on May 23 and achieved the series' highest opening weekend, though it ultimately failed to become a commercial success due to its $400 million budget. The film grossed around $586–$588 million worldwide, coming close to but not definitively surpassing Iron Man's total, and fell short of the nearly $1 billion needed to break even. Continuing the story from Dead Reckoning, it follows Ethan Hunt's fight against a rogue AI and stars Tom Cruise, Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, and Angela Bassett. Paramount has set the digital release for August 19, with physical editions arriving in October 2025, while the Paramount+ streaming date is unannounced. The film faced significant production challenges due to pandemic-related delays and strikes, contributing to its high costs. Its financial performance and critical reception have sparked debate about whether this should be the franchise's true conclusion.
