Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning release kicked off over Memorial Day weekend, when it earned the highest-grossing domestic debut of the franchise with $64 million, though it took No. 2 behind Lilo & Stitch's record-smashing debut.

Per Variety, as of Sunday morning, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning is projected to close out its second weekend in domestic theaters with a cumulative domestic total of $122.6 million that will push its global box office haul to $353.8 million. This will make it only the sixth movie of 2025 to the $350 million milestone worldwide, behind Thunderbolts*, Captain America: Brave New World, Lilo & Stitch, A Minecraft Movie, and Ne Zha 2.

However, the movie has still not made back its huge reported budget of $400 million, which marks it as one of the most expensive productions of all time.

What This Means For Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning

Its Audience Hold Is Slipping

Although The Final Reckoning had the best opening weekend of the franchise and ed this major global milestone, its performance is dipping just enough that it may not become the highest-grossing installment. At the domestic box office, it fell 57% from its opening weekend, which is the second-worst drop for the franchise behind its immediate predecessor, 2023's disappointment Dead Reckoning Part One. Below, see how The Final Reckoning is comparing to all of the previous Mission: Impossible movies:

Its standing in the franchise will prove to be important, because if it doesn't beat Fallout ($786.6 million worldwide) as the highest-grossing installment, it may not be able to turn a profit. Because movies generally need to earn back two and a half times their price tags in order to turn a profit in theaters, the huge reported budget of Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning most likely places its estimated break-even point somewhere around a staggering $1 billion.

Our Take On The Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning Milestone

It Could Still Climb High On The Franchise Chart

Although it is questionable if Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning will ever turn a profit, it is still set to perform well compared to the previous installments in the franchise, in of the raw numbers. If it continues on its current trajectory, it will soon sur the lowest-grossing installment, Mission: Impossible III ($399.4 million) and could climb into the Top 3 by the end of its run if it sures Rogue Nation ($688.8 million) or Ghost Protocol ($694.7 million), which seems entirely within the realm of possibility.
