Tom Cruise’s latest action thriller Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning has had a lukewarm run at the Indian box office so far. Despite the massive global fanbase of the franchise, the film has managed to earn only around ₹72 crore in India, which is significantly lower than the previous installment, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, which raked in ₹119 crore.
Released in India on May 17, the film had an impressive opening weekend, grossing over ₹33 crore. However, the momentum dropped during the second weekend, with collections falling below ₹18 crore. Trade experts suggest that upcoming big releases like Housefull 5 may further dent the film’s performance in the coming weeks.
This underwhelming performance puts the franchise’s box office streak in India at risk. If the film is to cross the ₹100 crore milestone, it will need stronger audience support and sustained interest in the coming days.
The movie follows Ethan Hunt and his team as they race against time to stop a rogue AI entity that poses a grave threat to humanity. While critics have responded positively to the film’s action and storytelling, it appears to have failed to connect deeply with Indian audiences.
Directed by Christopher McQuarrie and produced by Tom Cruise himself, the film has seen heavy investment in terms of production and marketing. The stakes are high, and the film’s future performance in India may also impact the direction of the franchise going forward.
