Box Office Update: Mission Impossible 8 Closing in on ₹100 Crore
Now well into its third week, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning continues to perform strongly across Indian cinemas. After a slight midweek dip, the film rebounded with renewed momentum. According to early estimates, it earned ₹3.65 crore on Day 15 and slightly more—₹3.75 crore—on Day 16, pushing its cumulative total in India to an impressive ₹90.45 crore.
Initially released on May 17, the movie made a powerful entrance with ₹54.4 crore in its first week. As of now, it’s poised to break past the coveted ₹100 crore mark, a feat that would solidify its place as one of the biggest international releases of the year in India.

In a special message, he delighted audiences by speaking in Hindi: “Main aap sab se bahut pyaar karta hoon. Mujpe bharosa karo, ek akhri baar (I love you all a lot. Trust me one last time).” He also fondly recalled his visits to India, sharing how moments in Mumbai and Agra remain etched in his memory.
