The highly anticipated Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is tracking for a record-breaking debut at the box office. Industry analysts predict that the latest Tom Cruise action movie could earn over $60 million during its opening weekend, potentially surpassing Mission: Impossible – Fallout‘s $61 million launch in 2018.
Launching over Memorial Day weekend 2025, the film is perfectly positioned to dominate what is historically a blockbuster-friendly holiday frame. Compared to the relatively soft $132 million total over Memorial Day 2024 (led by Furiosa and Garfield), this year’s lineup looks significantly stronger.
High Audience Anticipation for Final Mission: Impossible Film
According to tracking firm Quorum, The Final Reckoning boasts a 59 awareness score, signaling strong pre-release interest. Audiences not only know the movie is coming—they’re planning to watch it in theaters, rather than wait for streaming.
The momentum is expected to build further following its world premiere in London and a special showcase at the Cannes Film Festival 2025.
Tom Cruise Returns as Ethan Hunt for Final Mission
The Final Reckoning is expected to be the last chapter in the Mission: Impossible franchise, making it a must-see event for fans of high-stakes spy thrillers and breathtaking stunts. Tom Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt, promising one last adrenaline-fueled ride that could rival or even outdo Top Gun: Maverick, which pulled in over $126 million during its 2022 Memorial Day opening.
