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, theeighthMission: Impossiblemovielikely 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 timeThe Final Reckoning’s box officetally 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 - Dead Reckoning($571 million).
The profitability line may have been way too high forThe Final Reckoningto achieve, but the box office total is still something to celebrate.It will pass the $600 million milestone at some pointand be one of the year’s biggest performers.The Final Reckoningwill 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 & Jurassic World Rebirth Will Beat Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning’s Box Office Soon
But How Far Will It Fall?
There was always some expectation thatMission: Impossible - The Final Reckoningwould 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 onlyNe Zha 2($1.8 billion),Lilo & Stitch($994 million), andA 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 toHow To Train Your Dragon($560 million) andJurassic World Rebirth($529 million) being in position to passThe Final Reckoning’s $584 million haulin the near future.

The momentum that both films have is stronger right now, which is why they both will surpass Tom Cruise’s action sequel at some point. They might not be the only summer blockbusters to beatThe Final Reckoningin the coming weeks, asSupermanandThe Fantastic Four: First Stepscould also do so. That may result inMission: Impossible 8sliding down to eighth in the 2025 box office charts by the time summer concludes.
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoningwill 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
Should that fall happen,Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoningwill 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 hasWicked: For Good,Zootopia 2, andAvatar: Fire and Ashas films expected to well exceed $600 million.
So, after climbing to fourth at the 2025 box office charts, this is surely the peak ofMission: 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.
