Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning Is Made for 400 Million USD, Reportedly Among Costliest Movies Ever

The upcoming movie “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” starring Tom Cruise has been rumored to have a production cost surpassing $400 million, placing it among the priciest films ever made. Although Paramount Pictures hasn’t officially confirmed the exact budget, recent reports hint at a figure no less than $400 million.

Mission: Impossible 8 joins an elite category of movies boasting astronomical production expenses. Only a select handful of films, such as Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker ($416 million), Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom ($432 million), and Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($447 million) have budgets that surpass the $400 million mark.

Initially, it’s said that the movie’s production cost was roughly equivalent to Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, which approximately amounted to USD 300 million. But owing to several postponements, the budget for The Final Reckoning expanded as reported by ScreenRant.

The movie production faced interruptions on multiple occasions due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the 2023 Hollywood strikes, resulting in substantial additional expenses for an already grandiose project. Notably, this film will showcase expansive action sequences and stunts, maintaining the franchise’s reputation for delivering spectacular visuals on the big screen.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m excitedly anticipating that, despite its substantial budget, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning will undoubtedly kick off with a bang! Predictions are pointing towards an impressive debut, potentially raking in approximately USD 80 million during its Memorial Day Weekend release within the U.S.

Should it manage to fulfill these requirements, it could potentially outshine Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018) in box office success, as that film opened to roughly $61 million. Yet, this movie will encounter formidable competition from Disney’s live-action Lilo & Stitch, estimated to earn around $120 million during the same weekend.

To turn a profit, the movie, with an estimated budget of $400 million, would likely have to gross roughly $1 billion worldwide, considering it usually needs to earn about twice its production and marketing costs.

To date, none of the Mission: Impossible films has managed to surpass the $1 billion global box office milestone. The highest-earning film in the franchise so far is Mission: Impossible – Fallout, which raked in approximately $786 million worldwide.

Despite potentially underperforming at the cinema, The Final Reckoning is still anticipated to perform well on streaming platforms. It’s likely that it will be a significant addition to Paramount+’s library following its theatrical release.
