It's a month into its run and is only at:

$497,690,870

Budget? $290 million!

He better hope part II can pay off this loss and hopefully turn a profit.

I fear the audience for Mission Impossible has left the building. We got a classic case here of a long running series that no longer has the viewer numbers to stay profitable. Happens to the best of em. They might even wanna just drop part 2 on a streaming service.

Studios normally prefer a quiet release with no marketing to earn something, hope the press and word of mouth can do the marketing.

But Tom wouldn't do that.

He went big marketing this, travelling the world and doing tv interviews.

Should've replace Ethan with a Girl-boss.

Yea of course. Audiences are getting sick of seeing the same thing every year.

Thats why Oppenheimer and Barbie are so big right now.

It’s not a huge flop! It’s closing in recouping its production budget. They are still out of pocket for the marketing. Net loss will be about $100M now.
Dead 2 will probably gross about 20% less.

You mustn't understand box office.

Chains keep 50% of that amount and it's 60% in international markets.

Due to that, you can times the budget by 2.5 to figure out the break even.

735 million would be a break even.

He was probably hoping for a billion + to make a 300 million profit.

No, apparently you don’t understand BO! There is not set % it varies week by week, country by country.
Foreign - basically 50% net profit of total BO!
Domestic - about $100M so far in net profit.
Ie $280M I net profit = production budget.

Wouldn't say it's a flop but releasing it just a week before Barbie and Oppenheimer was such a stupid decision. Tom Cruise got a bit ahead of himself.

Next time release it nowhere near a Barbie sequel or Nolan film.

Who saw the Barbie landslide coming? Total fluke. But Oppenheimer was a huge blunder because both films compete directly for the same screens.
