Following its theatrical release on May 23, 2025, the eighth instalment in the Mission: Impossible film series, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, starring Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise, has grossed over $598.1 million worldwide, making it the eighth highest-grossing movie of 2025 as of now. However, it recently slipped out of the top 200 highest-grossing films of all time after Brad Pitt’s F1 and James Gunn’s Superman entered the coveted list.
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning – Box Office Summary
North America: $197.4 million
International: $400.7 million
Worldwide: $598 million
While entries like Rogue Nation (2015) and Ghost Protocol (2011) set the box office on fire, the highest-grossing MI movie to date is Fallout (2018). The Final Reckoning currently stands as the fourth-highest-grossing entry in the blockbuster franchise. But the big question is: Which Mission: Impossible movie delivered the highest return relative to its budget? Let’s break down the numbers.
As the figures show, the highest return relative to budget was achieved by the first Mission: Impossible movie, which earned an impressive 5.7x its production cost. Next in line is Ghost Protocol at 4.8x, followed by Rogue Nation at 4.6x and Fallout at 4.44x. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning currently sits in eighth place at 1.5x, a figure unlikely to change as its theatrical run is almost complete.
What Is Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning About?

This time, Ethan and his team are in a desperate race to stop a powerful AI program known as The Entity from falling into the wrong hands, a threat that could lead to devastating global consequences.
Alongside Cruise, the film features an ensemble cast including Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Henry Czerny, and Angela Bassett in key roles.
