Tom Cruise's highly anticipated film, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, is poised to shatter the franchise's previous box office records in its domestic release. Critics and box office analysts are predicting that this installment might be the best in the Mission Impossible series.
What
As the first part of a two-part film, Dead Reckoning Part One may serve as the culmination of Tom Cruise's portrayal of Ethan Hunt in the Mission: Impossible series. It promises to deliver the most thrilling and action-packed experience ever witnessed in the franchise. With a substantial budget of approximately $290 million, the film's global success will be crucial to its overall performance.
Cruise's trademark
The movie has generated significant buzz on social media, thanks to the highly anticipated and mind-boggling stunt sequences teased by the producers. Unsurprisingly, Tom Cruise's name has become a top trending search on every platform since the release of his death-defying bike stunt from the movie.

Aiming for a new Record
According to The Hollywood Reporter, early projections indicate that Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One is on track to achieve an outstanding $90 million in its opening weekend at the domestic box office. If this estimate holds true, it would surpass the previous record for the highest opening weekend in the Mission: Impossible series. The previous record was set by Mission Impossible - Fallout in 2018, which collected $61.2 million domestically in its opening week.
The film's anticipated success can be attributed to its thrilling array of high-profile action sequences. One particularly memorable scene features Tom Cruise on a motorcycle, daringly plunging off a cliff and hurtling towards the ground. During the filming of this Mission Impossible stunt, Cruise narrowly avoided parachuting directly into the cliff face, adding to the intensity of the sequence.
End of the road (maybe)
In addition to its death-defying nature, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One has been revealed as the first chapter of a two-part grand finale for the franchise. However, director Christopher McQuarrie has recently hinted at the possibility of Mission: Impossible 9, leaving fans wondering about the future of the beloved series.
