Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One box office earnings top $16 million Wednesday

Last Updated on August 4, 2023

UPDATE: The latest numbers show Tom Cruise’s latest has already garnered an impressive $16 million, including Tuesday night previews. While this is below recent opening days, such as Dial of Destiny, this is noteworthy because it’s on a non-holiday Wednesday. More numbers to come!

Paramount and Skydance‘s Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is looking to be another monumental hit for the over-the-top action franchise after earning $7M in preview screenings. The seventh installment of Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie’s blockbuster opened in 3,300 markets, with reach expanding to 4,000+ on Wednesday, including IMAX and PLF screenings. Sources indicate the $7M does not include money earned from Monday’s PLF screening. If you’re keeping score, 2018’s Mission: Impossible – Fallout achieved a $6M Thursday preview take upon release.

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One boasts an impressive 94% on Rotten Tomatoes, with Cruise and McQuarrie hyping the film in places like Toronto, Atlanta, Miami, and Washington D.C. The duo surprised fans by attending the fan screening on Tuesday in Miami, Florida. The stunned crowd was all smiles while posing for a photo-op with Cruise and McQuarrie.

Paramount expects a strong performance for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One thanks to the five-day start. Additionally, reactions to the film have been overwhelmingly positive, with fans calling the film “dynamite,” “timely,” and offering a “variety of unforgetable action.” Some fans say the action sequences are so intense they’ll make you want to see the movie again in theaters immediately.

In addition to Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One also features Ving Rhames as Luther Stickell, Simon Pegg as Benji Dunn, Rebecca Ferguson as Ila Faust, Hayley Atwell as Grace, Vanessa Kirby as Alanna Mitsopolis, Henry Czerny as Eugene Kittridge, Shea Whigham as Jasper Briggs, Frederick Schmidt as Zola Mitsopolis, and Esai Morales as the movie’s main villain. Pom Klementieff, Rob Delaney, Cary Elwes, Indira Varma, Mark Gatiss, Charles Parnell, Greg Davis, and Marcin Dorociński also appear.

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One will hit theaters today, July 12th. Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two will be released on June 28, 2024. It’s been expected that these movies will serve as a farewell to Ethan Hunt, but Tom Cruise recently said he’d like to play the character until he’s Harrison Ford’s age. If Cruise has his way, we could be experiencing Mission: Impossible movies for years to come!
