Tom Cruise's 'Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One' Box Office Projection Revealed

Los Angeles, June 22 - The long-range box office projections for the upcoming Tom Cruise-fronted Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One are revealed and they are good enough to make it the biggest opener in the Mission Impossible franchise.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, MI7 is tracking for a franchise-best opening in the $90 million range at the domestic (North America) box office. On the other hand, Box Office Pro shared their projections that the film will open between $65 million and $80 million in its 3-day domestic opening weekend.



Should MI7 open as projected, it will be the biggest opener in the franchise, beating "Mission: Impossible - Fallout's" $61.2 million opening weekend in 2018. The Paramount and Skydance tentpole will release on July 12 in North America, a Wednesday.

Top Mission Impossible films openings in North America -

1. Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018) - $61.2 million



2. Mission: Impossible II (2000) - $57.8 million

3. Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015) - $55.5 million

4. Mission: Impossible III (2006) - $47.7 million



5. Mission: Impossible (1996) - $45.4 million

According to THR, moviegoers are seeing the new Mission: Impossible film as a sort of spiritual sequel to "Top Gun: Maverick" even though the two movies aren't part of the same franchise. Maverick was released last year and became the highest-grossing film of Tom Cruise by grossing nearly $1.5 million worldwide, including $718.7 million domestically.

Box Office Pro has more or less the same thing to say that the selling points for "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One" includes not only the critical and commercial success of its 2018 predecessor, Mission: Impossible – Fallout, but the enormous goodwill earned by star Tom Cruise from last year's Top Gun: Maverick.

The movie is directed by Christopher McQuarrie who also helmed "Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part Two", which is set to open June 28, 2024. The movie stars Tom Cruise as an IMF agent, Ethan Hunt, along with Rebecca Ferguson, Ving Rhames, Henry Czerny, Simon Pegg, Vanessa Kirby, Angela Bassett, Cary Elwes, Indira Varma, Rob Delaney, and Charles Parnell.
