MI:8 makes a smashing entry in the list of top Hollywood openers in India

Mission: Impossible -The Final Reckoning collected over ₹17.19 crore in India on its opening day. This is more than the day 1 biz of some top Hollywood grossers like Captain Marvel (₹15.75 crore), Furious 7 (₹16.75 crore) and Oppenheimer (₹17.25 crore). With its blistering start, Cruise's latest MI movie has not only become the biggest opener for the franchise in India, but will now look to become his second ₹100 crore grosser here after Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One.

While the theatre occupancy in the morning shows of the film was at a strong 61.71%, it rose to over 80% for the afternoon and evening shows, indicating the audience is favouring it.
