Mission Impossible 7’s Disappointing Box Office Reveals A Hidden Truth Behind Tom Cruise’s Success

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One was released in the first half of July with the expectations of it becoming a major box office hit. It got off to a fantastic start in its opening weekend with just shy of a $55 million revenue, solidifying its footing as a prominent and longstanding action franchise with Tom Cruise in the spotlight. Upon its release, the Christopher McQuarrie film showed early signs that it could become the most profitable Mission: Impossible movie of the entire franchise. After weeks at the highly competitive 2023 summer box office, this turned out not to be the case.
