Context
Why does this story matter?
The seventh Mission: Impossible film accumulated a worldwide gross of $122M by Friday.

Day 4 collections: 'MI 7' earned Rs. 16cr in India
Following a slight decline in second-day collections after its opening day on Wednesday, MI7 regained momentum on Friday, reportedly showing a significant jump in earnings with Rs. 9.25 crore. The upward trend continued on Saturday, with early estimates indicating a substantial leap in collections amounting to Rs. 16 crore. As a result, the total box office collections in India now stand at Rs. 46.2cr.
Budget
'Dead Reckoning' mounted on massive budget of $300M
Cruise's Mission: Impossible—Fallout (2018) remains the highest-grossing installment in the franchise, accumulating $800M worldwide. This aside, Top Gun: Maverick (2022) became Cruise's most successful film to date, earning over $1.5B globally. Interestingly, Dead Reckoning surpassed both of these movies in terms of budget. However, it remains to be seen whether MI's seventh installment will be able to outperform these movies at the box office.
