Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning remains steady at the domestic box office, adding $5 million on Wednesday, pushing its domestic total to \$91.2 million. While the figure represents a 30.2% drop from Tuesday’s “Discount Day,” the decrease is modest by industry standards, but a bit concerning for a franchise led by Tom Cruise. However, it still fared better than its predecessor Dead Reckoning, which earned \$4.7 million on its comparable day with a steeper 34.8% drop.

Headed for \$100M Club

The film is now poised to cross the \$100 million domestic milestone before its second weekend, showing that despite the dip, The Final Reckoning is managing a respectable hold

Memorial Day Wednesday Ranking

With its \$5M midweek take, The Final Reckoning landed at No. 11 among the biggest Memorial Day Wednesday grosses. It trailed behind:

Top Gun: Maverick – \$14.8M
LILO & Stitch – \$10M
The Little Mermaid – \$8.3M

But outperformed:

Solo: A Star Wars Story – \$4.9M
Fast & Furious 6, X-Men: Days of Future Past, and others

Challenges & Strengths

What makes this performance noteworthy:

Fewer screenings due to its long runtime
Lowest theater count for the franchise since Ghost Protocol
Direct competition from Disney’s re-release of Lilo & Stitch

Still, Tom Cruise’s enduring star power, Christopher McQuarrie’s direction, and the loyalty of longtime fans have kept the momentum going.

What’s Next?

With strong reviews and a compelling narrative that continues the Dead Reckoning storyline—Ethan Hunt vs. rogue AI Entity The Final Reckoning is expected to remain a box office force. However, its long-term success will depend on how it weathers rising competition, particularly from surprise hits like Final Destination: Bloodlines, which has begun to close the gap in daily collections

As it edges past \$100M domestically, the question now is whether it can match or surpass previous franchise entries in the long haul.
