Box Office: The Final Reckoning collects USD 7.2M on Discount Tuesday, USD 100M milestone expected by Friday
Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning continues to thrill at the US box office, pulling in a strong USD 7.2 million on Tuesday discount day. The post-Memorial Day performance marks only a 52 percent drop from the holiday Monday and nearly doubles the Tuesday haul of Mission: Impossible 2, which raked in USD 4.5 million with a 65.1 percent wane, cementing it as one of the strongest holds in the franchise.
The film now ranks as the 12th-biggest post-Memorial Day Tuesday of all time, joining the ranks of major box office hits like Top Gun: Maverick (USD 15.8M) and Aladdin (USD 12M). It also held better than other legacy titles, including Fast & Furious 6, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
After six days in release, The Final Reckoning has reached a USD 86.2 million cumulative domestic total. It is now on track to cross the coveted USD 100 million mark by Friday, an impressive feat, especially given the film's limited screen count compared to previous entries due to its longer runtime. MI8 is also contending directly with another box office juggernaut, Disney's Lilo & Stitch, which earned USD 15.3 million on Discount Tuesday.
The eighth and final installment in the Mission: Impossible series, The Final Reckoning, is directed by longtime collaborator Christopher McQuarrie and stars Cruise as Ethan Hunt. The film follows the iconic IMF agent and his team as they battle to stop the Entity, a rogue AI threatening global havoc. The ensemble cast includes Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Henry Czerny, and Angela Bassett.
Initially planned as part of a two-part finale, the film was restructured following production delays, including the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. With a reported budget of USD 300 to USD 400 million, it ranks among the most expensive films ever made.
Despite production hurdles and stiff competition, the film has grossed USD 213 million globally, becoming the eighth-highest-grossing film of 2025 so far. It premiered in Tokyo on May 4 and screened at the Cannes Film Festival on May 14 before opening in US theaters on May 23 to largely positive reviews and the franchise's best opening weekend to date.
Cruise's action legacy remains unscathed, proving yet again why he is one of Hollywood's last true box office draws.

Meet Anil Ambani's loyal friend who stood by him even in bankruptcy, shares similar story, special connection with Tina Ambani, his name is...
Meet Anil Ambani's loyal friend who stood by him even in bankruptcy, shares similar story, special connection with Tina Ambani, his name is… Anil Ambani's Best Friend: The Ambani family is no less than a Bollywood movie where two brothers separated, one became one of the world's richest, and the other faced bankruptcy. Anil Ambani inherited money and fame as part of the family legacy. In 2008, he was the sixth richest industrialist in the world. His wealth was even more than Mukesh Ambani's, but he lost it all due to bad decisions and unavoidable mistakes. His companies were sold, and he himself faced bankruptcy. But this is only the first half of the film. In the second half, everything changed as Anil started making a comeback, fighting against all odds. From Hero To Zero Anil Ambani had a net worth of USD 42 billion (approx Rs 350 crore) but by the year 2020, he faced dramatic fall from the grace, including the bankruptcy. He had a huge debt of Rs 20,379.71 crore and companies became defaulters. Anil Ambani's Luck Started Changing, The Tables Turned Anil Ambani had lost all hope as several trials were going on; he also declared himself bankrupt in front of the London court. The situation was worse, but as soon as his two sons Jai Anmol Ambani and Jai Anshul Ambani, entered the business, Anil's business started taking a U-turn. Reliance Infra, including other companies, started making a comeback. And now his company's shares are witnessing a surge. Anil Ambani's Best Friend Most of the time people leave their friends in bad times, but some stood by with their friends till the end without thinking about the outcome. For Anil Ambani this friend is none other than Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan. Even if he could not help him in business, he never backed down from boosting his morale. Always Praised His Friend and Boosted His Morale Amitabh Bachchan has publicly commended Anil Ambani's recent revival, praising his dedication and never-backdown attitude on social media platforms. Bachchan's support includes congratulatory messages, such as one celebrating a deal between Reliance Infra and Dassault Aviation for 2000 Falcon jets. He emphasises the power of hard work and determination in overcoming obstacles. Years Old Relationship With Ambani Family Anil Ambani and Amitabh Bachchan's friendship is not new but decades old. Their relationship is connected to Reliance Industries founder Dhirubhai Ambani. Anil Ambani's wife Tina was a Bollywood actress. During several interviews, Amitabh had revealed that when his company ABCorp Ltd was in debt of 90 crores, then Dhirubhai Ambani had offered to lend him money. Anil Ambani's Companies Making Profits Anil Ambani's companies are experienced a financial turnaround in recent years. Increased investment has led to rising profits, decreasing debt, and a surge in new orders. These positive developments have resulted Anil's company in a stock market recovery. Reliance Power and Reliance Infra have eliminated their debt. Major international contracts have been secured, including a Rs 600 crore order from a German firm for Reliance Defence, and a deal with Dassault Aviation of France for Falcon jet manufacturing and sales in India by Reliance Infra. Furthermore, Reliance Infra is anticipating a potential Rs 100 billion order from the Indian Ministry of Defence.

Carlos Alcaraz aims to join Borg, Federer elite club
London, June 29 (UNI) As the Wimbledon 2025 campaign progresses, all eyes are on Spain's Carlos Alcaraz, who is aiming to win his third consecutive title at the All England Club. The 22-year-old sensation has emerged as the face of men's tennis in the post-Federer-Nadal-Djokovic era, demonstrating remarkable consistency, flair, and maturity well beyond his age. After capturing his first Wimbledon crown in 2023 — in only his fourth tournament on grass — and repeating the feat in 2024 by completing the rare 'Channel Slam' (winning both Roland-Garros and Wimbledon in the same year), Alcaraz now attempts to join the elite company of Bjorn Borg, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer, and Novak Djokovic as the only men in the Open Era to lift three consecutive Wimbledon titles. The young Spaniard already has four Grand Slam titles to his name and became the youngest-ever World No. 1 after his 2022 US Open triumph. He has also claimed an Olympic silver medal and titles on all surfaces, establishing himself as a complete and dynamic player. Djokovic, who lost to Alcaraz in the 2023 Wimbledon final, hailed him as 'the most complete player' he has faced, praising his adaptability, defensive skills, and mental resilience. Off the court, Alcaraz remains grounded. His Netflix docuseries Carlos Alcaraz: My Way, released in April this year, has offered fans a rare glimpse into his life, adding to his growing global popularity. Known for his sportsmanship, humility, and ever-present smile, Alcaraz has won admirers across the tennis world. Speaking about his aspirations, Alcaraz said, 'At the end of my career, I want to sit at the same table as the big guys. I don't know my limit. I just want to keep enjoying my moment, keep dreaming.' With Italian star Jannik Sinner emerging as his primary rival on the circuit, the coming years could witness a fresh era of great tennis rivalries. As Wimbledon enters its decisive phase, tennis fans and experts alike agree that men's tennis is in safe hands — with Alcaraz leading the way into a new golden era. UNI BDN SSP

The Aamir Khan led Sitaare Zameen Par has done well in its second weekend, as the 10-day total in India stands around Rs 120 crore. The film has collected about Rs 32.50 crore in its second weekend, after an opening week of Rs 87.50 crore. The RS Prassana directorial grew from strength to strength, showing a drop of merely 40 percent from the first weekend, and is headed to record a strong theatrical run in India for the coming few weeks.

The Aamir Khan starrer has collected around USD 6 million (INR 51 crore) in the international belts in 10-days, and is headed for a finish around the USD 8.25 million (INR 70 crore) mark in the overseas markets. The 10-day global gross for Sitaare Zameen Par stands around the Rs 194 crore mark, and the film will enter the Rs 200 crore club on 2nd Monday.

The trend so far, and the projected trajectory ahead seals the HIT tag for this social comedy, making it a rare W for the genre in post Covid world.
