Box Office: 'Mission: Impossible 8' Scores Franchise Best $190 Million Opening Weekend Worldwide; Good In India

Mumbai, May 26 - Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise takes Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning to new heights at the domestic and worldwide box office. The film has shattered the franchise record to emerge as the biggest opener.

Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, The Final Reckoning flew to a franchise best domestically (North America), internationally and globally, with $63 million, $127 million, and $190 million, through Sunday. The worldwide debut is $204 million, which includes the US Monday holiday estimates.



The Friday to Sunday domestic total of $63 million is the biggest for the MI franchise, beating Fallout's previous franchise 3-day weekend record of $61.2 million. Interestingly, The Final Reckoning is said to be the final movie of the franchise.

The biggest contributor to the latest blockbuster outside the domestic market is Korea, where the movie has grossed $12.7 million so far. In India, MI8 has done very well and grossed around $10 million (85 crore) in 9 days as the 4th biggest overseas market for the movie.

It will be interesting to see whether Final Reckoning can beat the lifetime gross of 131 crores of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, which is also the highest-grossing movie of Tom Cruise in India. Also, MI8 is already the biggest Hollywood grosser of the year in the country.
