What Went Wrong With Mission Impossible 7’s Box Office (Will Dead Reckoning Part 2 Recover?)

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One has had a rough time at the box office, as major competition and high expectations are a few reasons why it went wrong and put Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two in a difficult spot. Paramount and Tom Cruise were widely expected to once again be among the big winners of the summer box office season in 2023 with the long-awaited release of Mission: Impossible 7. After the incredible performance of Top Gun: Maverick, expectations were high for the new Tom Cruise blockbuster action movie, as a repeat success was thought to be in the realm of possibility.
