It’s a great day for all Tom Cruise fans as the Hollywood superstar is finally back on the big screen after nearly two years. His latest action-packed film, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (also known as Mission: Impossible 8), hit theatres in India today and has opened to a terrific response. As predicted in our earlier box office preview, the film had a flying start and has become the biggest opener for Tom Cruise and the Mission: Impossible (MI) franchise in India.
Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, this film is said to be the final chapter in the long-running MI franchise. Naturally, fans were super excited to see Cruise’s Ethan Hunt one last time. But what’s even better is that the movie isn’t just attracting die-hard fans—it’s also pulling in general audiences, which shows its strong appeal across different sections of moviegoers.
Superb Response for English Version
From morning shows itself, the film saw excellent occupancy, especially for the original English version. The dubbed versions in Hindi and other regional languages also performed fairly well, particularly in premium formats and 2D screens. The buzz around the movie has been strong, and positive word-of-mouth seems to have played a big role in drawing people to theatres throughout the day.
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning Gets a Thunderous Opening in India
Thanks to the positive reviews and strong fan following, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning had a great first day at the Indian box office. According to early estimates, the movie has earned between ₹17 to ₹18 crore net on day 1. This is exactly in the range we predicted earlier (₹17–₹19 crore), and the final number might change slightly once late-night show collections come in.
A New Record for Tom Cruise in India
With this kind of opening, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning has created a new record for Tom Cruise in India. His previous best was Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, which opened with ₹12.30 crore net. The new film has clearly beaten that number and by a big margin, making it the highest-grossing opening day for both the actor and the MI franchise in India.
What to Expect in the Coming Days?
Given the strong start and the positive feedback from viewers, there’s a good chance the movie will grow even more on Saturday and Sunday. If all goes well, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning could easily cross ₹20 crore net on day 2. The real test, however, will be its performance on Sunday, when families and more casual viewers come in larger numbers.
With action, emotion, and nostalgia all packed into one final ride, Tom Cruise’s latest film seems to be ticking all the right boxes. Fans are loving it, and it’s also bringing in new audiences—something every franchise film hopes for. If this momentum continues, the movie could become one of the highest-grossing Hollywood films in India in 2025.
