Despite several new releases like How to Train Your Dragon, Ballerina, and Karate Kid: Legends, Tom Cruise is not ready to give up as Ethan Hunt. His latest magnum opus, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, still holds firmly at the North American box office. While maintaining the pace at ticket counters, the film is now inches away from becoming the 6th highest-grossing film of the franchise. Keep reading for a detailed collection report of day 27!
Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the action extravaganza was released on May 23. Despite positive reviews and word-of-mouth, the film displayed the typical Mission: Impossible movie trend: fetching lower than expected numbers in the domestic market while making big money overseas. Also, factors like a clash with Lilo & Stitch and new releases every week affected its domestic run.
As per the latest collection update, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning amassed a solid $1.2 million on day 27, the fourth Wednesday. It was a minimal drop compared to the third Wednesday’s $1.5 million. This hold is really good considering the fact that the film has over 500 less theatres compared to last week.

Overall, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning has earned $170.3 million at the North American box office in 27 days. Considering the momentum, the film has an outside chance of hitting $200 million.
With $170.3 million in the kitty, Mission: Impossible 8 is inches away from surpassing Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One‘s $172.64 million. This feat will be accomplished by this Friday, thus making it the 6th highest-grossing film of the franchise at the North American box office. Before ending the run, it will also beat Mission: Impossible’s $180.98 million and Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation’s $195.04 million.
