Mission: Impossible 8 Is Close To Making The Top 5
Mission: Impossible 8is not far from surpassing the 2000 sequel’s earnings, and based on the current growth rate, the film will likely surpass the sequel in the coming weeks. On the other hand, despite having the series' best opening, the eighth installment is currentlythe sixth highest-grossing film in the series.
The franchise record was set by 2018’sFallout, which made around $786 million and is widely considered the bestMission: Impossiblehas to offer.
The second highest-grossing entry in the series is 2011’sGhost Protocolat $694 million, followed by 2015’sRogue Nationat $688 million and 2023’sDead Reckoning Part Oneat $565 million. Based on the series' uneven, yet gradually increasing earnings,there’s a big chance thatFinal Reckoningmight end up making more than its predecessor in 2023, currently only $18 million short.

There’s still room for growth forMission: Impossible 8’s box office. Despite having a big figure at the worldwide box office,the movie isn’t doing as well as everyone believes in the grand view of the series.The Final Reckoningis more than $100 million away from making the top 3.
While it has some of Cruise’s most dangerous stunts, it’s very unlikely to see it surpassFallout’s record, which remains the series' peak.
