Tom Cruise returns to the large display to shut out the essential chapter of Mission: Unattainable – Lifeless Reckoning, and fairly presumably to “rescue” the theatrical enterprise stateside and overseas. After seven years in manufacturing alongside its predecessor, Mission: Unattainable – The Last Reckoning faces field workplace strain that makes its title really feel extra literal than narrative. The stakes are excessive — not simply in North America however worldwide — as Cruise and Paramount as soon as once more set their sights on the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s international earnings.
Regardless of being the highest-grossing movie collection of all time, the MCU, and Marvel generally, have been repeatedly defeated on the field workplace by Mission: Unattainable. In reality, till its third billion-dollar flick, the MCU had not crushed the Unattainable Mission Drive (IMF) in ticket admissions.
Going again to 2000, when Mission: Unattainable II registered itself because the twenty first century’s first reigning champion on the international field workplace with $547 million (in accordance with Field Workplace Mojo), Marvel maintained a low profile, as twenty first Century Fox’s X-Males trailed behind with $296 million for a ninth-place end.
The primary collision between Marvel Cinematic Universe and MI occurred in 2011 when, regardless of a December launch, Mission: Unattainable — Ghost Protocol made $694 million for a fifth-place end on the worldwide chart. Then again, MCU’s Captain America: The First Avenger ($370 million) and Thor ($449 million) couldn’t even make it into the highest 10 regardless of their summer season runs, registering beneath Cruise’s stunner in each worldwide and home ranks, in addition to vital reception.
The Mission: Unattainable collection misplaced its glory of beating Marvel in 2015 when Avengers: Age of Ultron, the sophomore entry to their crown jewel franchise-within-franchise, bested Rogue Nation’s $682 million with $1.4 billion (in accordance with Field Workplace Mojo), regardless of Ant-Man ($519 million) not going out of its option to put butts into theater seats.
The phenomenon returned in 2018 when Avengers: Infinity Struggle ($2 billion) and Black Panther ($1.34 billion) gained the field workplace, whereas Mission: Unattainable—Fallout, regardless of higher vital response and longevity, settled for $791 million, the very best international tally within the franchise on the time.
In 2023, because of Barbenheimer, Mission: Unattainable — Lifeless Reckoning ($571 million) registered softly at worldwide ticket home windows. Whereas Marvel suffered far worse with two of the largest field workplace bombs of all time — Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania ($476 million) and The Marvels ($206 million) — Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 ($845 million) triggered an upset to bypass the Entity’s menace.
Now, in 2025, amid the underwhelming fan curiosity and sloppy method to inserting social messages, Marvel’s untouchable summit has fallen precipitously. It’s Captain America: Courageous New World ($415 million) and Thunderbolts* ($278 million worldwide on the time of writing) don’t carry the impetus to withstand Mission: Unattainable—The Last Reckoning reclaiming its field workplace crown.
Whereas the Tom Cruise spectacle is all however assured to usher in a minimum of $600 million ($200 million of that inside North America), the judgment lies within the arms of The Improbable 4: First Steps. Present murmurs recommend that The Last Reckoning has acquired it in its pocket, although with Marvel, one by no means is aware of.
