The film is eyeing a blockbuster opening of ₹20 crore in India, across all languages and formats. This would be the biggest debut ever for an MI film here. The previous film in the franchise, Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One (2023), opened to ₹12.3 crore in India and went on to collect ₹110.3 crore nett in India. This is despite the film receiving mixed reviews and grossing just ₹4725 crore worldwide, which is below par by the standards of the franchise.

However, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning will look to wrap up the franchise on a high note. Meanwhile, one of the biggest names attending the Cannes Film Festival this year is Tom Cruise. He first attended Cannes back in 1992 with Far and Away and made a memorable comeback in 2022 with Top Gun: Maverick, where he received a special tribute and a five-minute standing ovation.

This year, Cruise is at Cannes to present Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. It marks the European premiere of what is expected to be his last outing as Ethan Hunt. The movie will premiere at the film festival on May 14, out of competition.
