Mission Impossible 8 Advance Booking: Tom Cruise's Film Sells 1.5 Lakh Tickets In India
Last Updated:
Industry experts are expecting the spy action thriller to earn more than Rs 15 crore on its first day in India.
Tom Cruise is returning as the unstoppable Ethan Hunt for one last time in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, and fans in India are really excited. The eighth and final instalment of the action-spy franchise, which is set to hit theatres in India on May 17, days ahead of its global release on May 23, witnessed a roaring response during advance ticket booking.
After the conclusion of the advance ticket booking, a whopping 1.5 lakh tickets have been sold across major cinema chains, proving that Tom Cruise's film is set for a massive opening weekend. With such hype surrounding the film, industry experts are expecting the spy action thriller to earn more than Rs 15 crore on its first day in India. That would be a new record for the franchise in the country, leaving behind the Rs 12.25 crore opening of Mission: Impossible 7 in 2023.
All thanks to strong marketing ahead of The Final Reckoning's release, the franchise's loyal fan base and last but not least, the magnetic star power of Cruise, which contributed to the early success of the film, setting the film for a thrilling launch in India.
When the advance booking opened in India just a week back, Mission: Impossible 8 sold over 11,000 tickets within 24 hours, which already hinted at the massive anticipation among fans. The film is set to have shows as early as 6 AM.
Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, The Final Reckoning will continue the story from Dead Reckoning, and fans can surely expect edge-of-the-seat action and adventure from Tom Cruise. Familiar faces like Hayley Atwell, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, Henry Czerny, Angela Bassett and others return for this nearly 3-hour-long spectacle, which has received a U/A rating from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
Viacom18 is releasing Cruise's The Final Reckoning on over 3,000 screens all over India. Their plan includes premier-format shows in English for major cities while reaching smaller cities and towns with Hindi dubbed versions, ensuring wide appeal.
Following its premiere in Tokyo on May 5, Tom Cruise and his team jetted off to the beautiful French Riviera for their film's premiere at the 78th Cannes Film Festival on May 14. A screening of the spy action film was also held in London on May 15. Now, it is time for The Final Reckoning to do its magic in theatres with its impressive action scenes and Cruise's ever-reliable charm.

Paresh Rawal returns to 'Hera Pheri 3' after quitting the film, says 'The film was about to come earlier but...'
Rawal has now revealed in an interview he's back on board. The actor revealed, 'There's no controversy.' read more The official announcement of Hera Pheri 3 cheered all cinegoers as they were excited to see the iconic characters of Raju (Akshay Kumar), Shyam (Suniel Shetty) and Baburao (Paresh Rawal) on the big screen. However, the sudden exit of the latter shocked and disappointed everyone. Rawal has now revealed in an interview he's back on board. The actor revealed, 'There's no controversy. I believe that when people have loved something so much, then you have to be extra careful. It is our responsibility toward the audience.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD He added, 'The audience has given you so much adulation. You can't take things for granted. Mehnat karke unko (film) do.' Rawal continued, 'Pehle bhi aane hi waali thi but it's just that we had to fine-tune ourselves (laughs). After all, all of them are creative, be it Priyadarshan, Akshay or Suniel. They are friends for many, many, many years.' Priyadarshan, who was supposed to direct Hera Pheri 3 , revealed that Akshay Kumar had tears in his eyes when he came to know about Paresh Rawal's exit. The copyright issue In an interview with Mid-day, the director also revealed, 'Akshay bought the entire rights of the Hera Pheri franchise for Rs 10 crore from Firoz Nadiadwala, who had produced the first two [parts]. This is not just for Hera Pheri 3 but the entire franchise. I know this as I have seen the paperwork for it.' What Akshay Kumar said about Paresh Rawal's exit I have been working with him for the last 32 years. We are very good friends. He's a great actor. I really admire him. I don't think this is a place where I am going to talk about it because… it's a very serious matter. It is a matter which is going to be handled by the courts. Hence, I don't think I am going to speak about it here,' said the actor at Housefull 5's trailer launch.

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.
