With a Rs 12.50 crore opening, MI, riding on its brand and Tom Cruise's popularity in India, has managed to become the biggest Hollywood opener in India, beating the likes of John Wick 4, Spider-Man Across The Spider-Verse and Guardians Of The Galaxy 3. 

MI release to affect Hindi films

Released on July 7, Vidya Balan starter Neeyat and Sanjay Pooran Singh directorial 72 Hoorain were not doing well at the box office. While Neeyat is struggling with Rs 6 core collection in six days, 72 Hoorain has emerged as a disaster with mere Rs 1.8 crore earnings. Satyaprem Ki Katha did capitalise due to a lack of competition from new releases, but it is expected that Tom Cruise's MI will affect the business of all three Hindi films.

Meanwhile, Cruise's film will look to do maximum business before July 21 when Barbie and Oppenheimer hit the big screen amid huge anticipation.
