Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning India box office
The previous MI film - Dead Reckoning - opened at ₹15 crore net in India, and ended up netting ₹110 crore in India in its lifetime, a decent number even for Bollywood films. The Final Reckoning is expected to outdo part 7 by a substantial number. Conservative estimates say that the film should open at ₹20 crore net in India, while more optimistic estimates put the number at above ₹25 crore. This is way higher than all Hollywood releases in 2025. For comparison, A Minecraft Movie, the highest-grossing Hollywood film of the year, opened at ₹2 crore in India. Disney's Snow White fared even worse at ₹65 lakh. Marvel movies tend to do better in India, but even Captain America Brave New World ( ₹4.3 crore) and Thunderbolts ( ₹3.85 crore) are far behind the expected numbers of Mission Impossible 8.
However, MI 8 is a little way off the all-time record for Hollywood opening in India. Avengers: Endgame collected ₹53 crore net in India on its opening day in 2019, a mark that the Tom Cruise film will not reach.
How Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning fares against Bollywood films
The expected ₹20-25 crore opening for Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning is higher than some of the biggest Indian films released this year, including Akshay Kumar's Kesari Chapter 2 ( ₹13 crore), Ajay Devgn's Raid 2 ( ₹19 crore), and Sunny Deol's Jaat ( ₹9 crore). Only Chhaava and Sikandar had higher numbers.
