Not all good films perform how they are expected to; Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One aka Mission: Impossible 7 is one such film.

In fact, it has gone on to settle as the second-lowest scorer for the MI franchise in the domestic market. Keep reading to know more!
Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the seventh instalment saw a huge amount of money riding on it. Be it expensive stunt sequences, grandeur or delays due to Covid, the film was carrying a huge investment. Despite that, it was expected to do well at the box office as reports were all around positive and Tom Cruise was coming fresh from the success of a blockbuster hit, Top Gun: Maverick.

Mission: Impossible 7 opened on a good note at the North American box office, but still, it wasn’t up to the mark considering the hype. Further, within 10 days, Barbie and Oppenheimer arrived in theatres, a wave which massively impacted the business of Tom Cruise’s film. Not just regular screens but the Christopher Nolan directorial also took away IMAX screens from MI 7.

Eventually, Mission: Impossible 7 got sidelined due to the Barbenheimer wave and the film fared on a lower side at the North American box office. As of now, it stands at a total of $172.13 million. If compared with all previous MI films, this is the second-lowest score, even lower than the pilot MI film ($180.98 million).
