Tom Cruise's 'Mission: Impossible 7' Sets Box Office on Fire
"Mission: Impossible 7 - Dead Reckoning Part One" is projected to open with at least $60 million at the box office, potentially setting a new opening weekend record for the franchise. The film is expected to earn $85-95 million in North America and $160 million internationally in its first five days. With a production budget of $290 million, the movie needs strong endurance in theaters to justify its costs. Positive reviews and Tom Cruise's goodwill from "Top Gun: Maverick" are expected to help drive ticket sales. The film follows Ethan Hunt and his IMF team as they battle a powerful artificial intelligence force called "The Entity."
