Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning

Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning grossed $750 million globally, a 10% drop from 2023's Dead Reckoning but still 20% higher than the average franchise finale. Tom Cruise's biplane stunt, performed without CGI, generated $250 million in opening-weekend buzz, making it the year's most discussed set piece. The film's $290 million budget is $40 million cheaper than A Minecraft Movie's production cost, proving practical stunts remain profitable.
