Tom Cruise's Final Mission: Impossible Opens Strong in India

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning has got a strong response in India, reaffirming Tom Cruise’s star power. The film, which is reportedly the final installment of the franchise, has collected an estimated Rs 16.5 crore net on its opening weekend. With urban multiplexes reporting high occupancy and positive word of mouth, it has registered good momentum from Day 1.

Key Highlights:

• Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning earns Rs16.5 crore net in India over its opening weekend.
• The film crosses Rs30 crore in just two days, outperforming the early run of Dead Reckoning Part One.
• CBFC mutes select English expletives, but passes the Tom Cruise starrer with minimal cuts for Indian release.

In comparison to Dead Reckoning Part One's Rs 63.5 crore total at the end of five days, The Final Reckoning has reached almost half that amount at the end of just two days, going past the Rs 30 crore mark in the process. The experts consider this to be evidence clear and decisive of Cruise's continued popularity and the fanbase for the franchise.

Prior to its India release, the movie premiered red-carpeted at the 78th Cannes Film Festival, with Cruise and other actors appearing in person.

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) cleared the film with very little visual cuts but muted a few English expletives to render it more acceptable to a wider Indian audience.
