Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning‘s box office sets one final global push ahead of its VOD release. The eighth, and potentially last, Mission: Impossible movie sees Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team pushing forward in their battle against the rogue AI called the Enтιтy, racing to stop it from wiping out humanity.
Top-lined by Tom Cruise, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning‘s cast also includes Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, Henry Czerny, Angela Bᴀssett, and Shea Whigham reprising their roles. Joining them are newcomers Holt McCallany (Mindhunter), Nick Offerman (Parks and Recreation), Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lᴀsso), Tramell Tillman (Severance), and Katy O’Brian (Love Lies Bleeding).
Now, following its twelfth week in theaters, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning has made $595 million at the worldwide box office, according to The Numbers, meaning the movie could make one final global push to pᴀss $600 million ahead of its VOD release on August 18.
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning‘s box office breaks down to $197.3 million domestically and $397.9 million internationally.
What This Means For Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning
With $595 million in global earnings, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning continues to perform steadily at the box office. When it premiered back in May, the movie made $64 million domestically over its first three days, the best opening weekend in the franchise’s history. Its $595 million haul also places it as the sixth-highest-grossing film of 2025 so far.
However, despite these respectable numbers, The Final Reckoning hasn’t been a financial win for Paramount. The movie’s enormous $300–400 million production budget ranks among the most expensive movies ever made. As a result, it would need to generate roughly $750 million to $1 billion to turn a profit, mᴀssive milestones which it’s unlikely to achieve.
Our Take On Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning’s Box Office
Although The Final Reckoning is unlikely to break even at the box office, it could still mitigate its losses through video-on-demand and home media sales. These channels can provide a second chance for underperforming blockbusters, particularly those with dedicated fan bases and strong international reach, such as Mission: Impossible.
For instance, The Northman struggled to earn a profit during its 2022 theatrical run but went on to perform unexpectedly well on digital platforms, recovering much of its initial losses after release. Thanks to Tom Cruise’s global appeal and the franchise’s loyal fanbase, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning could follow a similar path by mitigating its losses in the aftermarket.
