A year ago, Tom Cruise fell in love with critics and audiences with Top Gun: Maverick. Said love became almost $1.5 billion at the box office, and many expected that this tape would give him a boost to his new adventure as Ethan Hunt. Unfortunately, it was not to be. and although mission impossible 7 debuted with a solid box office collection, not everything is rosy in its future.
How much did it cost mission impossible 7?
It is no secret to anyone that Tom Cruise likes to film action as realistic as possible. Between spectacular locations, impressive practical effects, a great cast and filming that began in 2020, plus the expenses for following COVID protocols, the budget of Mission Impossible: Deadly Judgment Part One, amounted to $291 million dollars (MDD). That’s not counting marketing.
Obviously, it is the highest grossing film in the entire saga, exceeding $178 million for its previous installment, Repercussion. For better or for worse, Ethan Hunt’s new adventure joins the list of summer projects with out-of-control budgets. In this list are titles such as Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, The Little Mermaid, Fast and Furious 10 and Indiana Jones and the dial of fate.
How much must you raise to be profitable?
Considering a rule used by different analysts, which indicates that a film must collect 2.5 times its budget, Deadly Judgment Part One should raise around $730 million, at least, to start generating profits. Yes, it is a figure that only a movie (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3) has reached this summer, but it is not impossible for the saga Mission Impossible.
In 2018, Repercussion grossed $792 million, and the new installment isn’t going astray. In the United States and Canada, it grossed $80 million during its first 5 days on theaters., numbers slightly ahead of its predecessor. Couple that with a mighty A in CinemaScore, and a bright future could be on the way. The only negative is that it fell short of industry expectations ($90-100 million).
Unfortunately, the arrival of Barbie and Oppenheimer it could be disastrous, as both films will leave it without premium formats (IMAX, Dolby, etc.), which accounted for 37% of its box office this weekend.
Internationally, the numbers were much better. 70 markets gave him $155 million for a global cumulative of $235 million. Notably Mission Impossible It is an extremely powerful franchise abroad, so this installment could exceed the established goal to be profitable. It all depends on the strength with which the call Barbenheimer hit the theaters.
did you see mission impossible 7 this weekend? Why do you think this new installment did not benefit from the monumental success of Top Gun: Maverick?
Juan Jose Cruz I am one of those who always defended Robert Pattinson as Batman and can see the same movie in the theater up to 7 times. My guilty pleasure? Low budget horror movie.
