Mission: Impossiblesees midweek boost with Rs 1.43 crore haul

Tom Cruise’s high-octane action saga Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is continuing to hold steady at the Indian box office, registering a welcome midweek jump. On Day 19 — Wednesday — the film collected Rs 1.43 crore, indicating positive word-of-mouth and sustained audience interest even in its third week.After a relatively stable start in the first two weeks, the film saw a marginal slowdown, but this latest midweek growth suggests that fans are still turning up to watch the eighth instalment of the franchise on the big screen. Its total domestic net collection now stands at an estimated Rs 93.76 crore. According to the latest buzz, the film is now steadily inching towards a commendable Rs 100 crore net benchmark for a Hollywood action title in India.The film, directed by Christopher McQuarrie, has already grossed Rs 100 crore in India, making it the second Cruise starrer to hit the milestone. His 2023 film Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning also crossed the milestone, earning an estimated Rs 131 crore during its lifetime collections at the Indian box office. Cruise’s return as IMF agent Ethan Hunt has struck a chord with Indian audiences, largely due to its relentless pace, larger-than-life stunts, and the star’s enduring fanbase.

With limited competition at the box office and steady footfalls in multiplex chains, The Final Reckoning is expected to maintain its momentum through the weekend.The action flick continues to draw praise for its immersive action sequences and Cruise’s physical commitment to the role. As it enters its fourth weekend, trade analysts expect the film to close out its theatrical run with strong lifetime numbers in the Indian market.
