    No, doesn't Mission Impossible usually do 4× its opening weekend? 4× 200 million = 800 million, plus Premium VOD, plus the value the movie adds to the franchise as a whole in terms of Bluray/digital sales.

    The movie will most likely make a profit when all is said and done, same as Dead Reckoning did in the end.

    Oh sure, in the long term I would suspect all movies make their money back.

    China is also a major part of determining if MI8 will have a good box office run, but given the massive fall of western movies doing well over there, it would seem unlikely. Previous MI films in China:

    RN - $136m
    Fallout - $181m
    DR - $48m

    Not all movies, far from it! But all MI movies, sure, just shows the strength of the brand. B-)

    My guess is $600 to 700 worldwide gross. I think it will do better than Dead Reckoning which was $571 ww gross.

    Final Reckoning may do better because no Barbie/Oppenheimer double whammy competition and the biplane sequence looks thrilling enough to get some extra punters into the cinema. And maybe some of the hardcore MI fans will see it twice because it's the 'final' chapter in the franchise.

    I doubt it will break even or make a profit if it needs to hit one billion. 😮 The cost of MI 8 was crazy.

    I saw MI Final Reckoning earlier today. I love it! Tom Cruise outdid himself again. Dont know how he does it. Must be all that scientology. Anyways if you haven't seen this movie go see it now!!!

    As I’ve already mentioned in my spoiler tagged review, I liken MI : TFR very much in the same vein as the original MI from ‘96.
    IMO, if you took 30-40 minutes from the run time of TFR it would be a much slicker movie.
    Once again,I don’t think it’s a bad film at all, and after watching MI: DR on the weekend, I think TFR stands up very well.

    I saw it yesterday on screenx I liked it but it was messy and a little long. I watched Dead Reckoning the night before and it helped with being up to speed.

    I saw it last night. It was okay but overlong and bloated, and not unlike SP, trying oh so hard to tie together the continuity. There were a lot of beige and gray scenes and the action was...fine. I preferred Dead Reckoning's train sequence to any action in this.

    I just saw it and loved it. Much better than DR which I enjoyed as well. The overall
    end of the world/doomsday threat really made it interesting. Loved the callbacks to the orginal movie but could have done without Jim Phelps Jr reveal

    It's interesting that McQ wants to do a superhero movie as, looking at FR, the stakes and the mythology of Hunt, it's sort of the next progression, re the running time, when you run through it, there are whole sections that add nothing to the story (and huge bills to the production cost) The impact of a great stunt is big on the first viewing but over time, it's story and character that mean more in the long run.
    PS my son watched Capricorn One for the first time last night, when Brolin gets aboard the Stearman, he shouts "they stole it"
