Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning‘s box office has been a major talking point around the film due to the reported cost of Tom Cruise’s potential final installment in the franchise. With the budget soaring to over $400 million according to some sources, the eighth Mission: Impossible movie likely needed to make $1 billion to be a box office hit.

Not only has that not happened yet, but it will not happen by the time The Final Reckoning‘s box office tally concludes. Still, the movie has still been a blockbuster event that audiences have enjoyed checking out on the big screen. Its worldwide total of $584 million signifies that, especially after it exceeded the total of the last entry – Mission: Impossible – ᴅᴇᴀᴅ Reckoning ($571 million).

The profitability line may have been way too high for The Final Reckoning to achieve, but the box office total is still something to celebrate. It will pᴀss the $600 million milestone at some point and be one of the year’s biggest performers. The Final Reckoning will also comfortably be the fourth highest-grossing film in the franchise, which is the same spot it holds in the 2025 box office charts

How To Train Your Dragon & Jurᴀssic World Rebirth Will Beat Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning’s Box Office Soon

But How Far Will It Fall?

There was always some expectation that Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning would be one of the strongest box office performers of 2025. It’s lived up to that belief so far, currently in fourth place worldwide with $584 million in tickets sold – trailing only Ne Zha 2 ($1.8 billion), Lilo & Sтιтch ($994 million), and A Minecraft Movie ($955 million).

But with its theatrical run winding down and the summer movie season picking up, it’s about to fall down the box office charts and out of the worldwide top 5 for this year. This is due to How To Train Your Dragon ($560 million) and Jurᴀssic World Rebirth ($529 million) being in position to pᴀss The Final Reckoning‘s $584 million haul in the near future.

The momentum that both films have is stronger right now, which is why they both will surpᴀss Tom Cruise’s action sequel at some point. They might not be the only summer blockbusters to beat The Final Reckoning in the coming weeks, as Superman and The Fantastic Four: First Steps could also do so. That may result in Mission: Impossible 8 sliding down to eighth in the 2025 box office charts by the time summer concludes.

Should that fall happen, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning will be destined to finish the year outside the top 10 at the worldwide box office, which has never happened before for Tom Cruise’s franchise. The rest of the year still has Wicked: For Good, Zootopia 2, and Avatar: Fire and Ash as films expected to well exceed $600 million.

So, after climbing to fourth at the 2025 box office charts, this is surely the peak of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning‘s run. Its final tally may still climb as the theatrical run continues on, but Tom Cruise is destined to lose his spot in the top 5 box office for the year before long.
