With a reported $400 million production budget, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, Tom Cruise‘s last outing as action hero Ethan Hunt, was always going to struggle to return any sort of financial success for Paramount. Nevertheless, that hasn’t stopped the film from proving popular with audiences, managing to battle tough competition from newer releases to finish in the top 5 on its most recent fifth box office weekend.
In total, across the latest weekend, The Final Reckoning returned $6.5 million domestically from its fewest number of theaters yet: 2,603. This has helped the film reach a global total of $540 million to date, split between a domestic haul of $178 million and a further $362 million from overseas markets. This places the final installment in the franchise just $15 million behind its direct predecessor, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, with the film now almost guaranteed to fall short of the global totals of Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, and 2011’s Ghost Protocol.
This $540 million global total may fall short of others in the franchise, but it still places The Final Reckoning on some impressive lists, such as the 30 highest-grossing Paramount Pictures movies of all time and the 20 highest-grossing movies based on TV in the US. As well as this, the $540 million mark means The Final Reckoning has now doubled the global total of another major modern action franchise’s first entry, with Jason Statham‘s The Expendables falling just short of the $270 million mark back in 2010.
