Box Office: Soaring demand for The Final Reckoning prompts BFI IMAX to add 9am shows, delay How to Train Your Dragon debut
Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is proving to be an IMAX sensation in the UK, particularly at the iconic BFI IMAX in London. With demand surging and nearly all shows sold out, the cinema has opened additional 9 a.m. screenings. In an unprecedented move, it has also delayed the debut of How to Train Your Dragon from June 6 to 9, allowing The Final Reckoning to dominate the premium screen for an extended three-day window. Despite ticket prices ranging between approximately USD 32.30 to 37.70 and being non-refundable, fans are still showing up in large numbers, turning the film into an IMAX phenomenon, something Dead Reckoning never achieved during the Barbenheimer-dominated summer of 2023. Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, The Final Reckoning, for those uninitiated, is the eighth installment in the long-running Mission: Impossible series and serves as a direct sequel to Dead Reckoning Part One. Cruise reprises his iconic role as Ethan Hunt, alongside Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Henry Czerny, and Angela Bassett. This time, the Impossible Mission Force faces off against a rogue artificial intelligence known as The Entity, as it threatens to wreak global havoc. The film's production journey was ambitious, lengthy, and expensive. Originally intended to be shot back-to-back with its predecessor, production was disrupted by the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike and eventually wrapped in late 2024. Filming took place across several countries, including England, Malta, South Africa, and Norway. With a reported budget of USD 300 to 400 million, it ranks among the most expensive films ever made. The Final Reckoning premiered in Tokyo on May 5 and later screened out of competition at the Cannes Film Festival. It was released worldwide on May 23 to critical acclaim and has grossed USD 227.1 million globally, ranking as the eighth highest-grossing film of the year so far. It also recorded the franchise's biggest opening weekend to date. To promote the film, Tom Cruise made headlines in early May when he climbed to the roof of the BFI IMAX. In a fitting honor, he was also awarded the prestigious BFI Fellowship, solidifying his last of the Hollywood stars status both on and off screen.

Tom Cruise Eating Popcorn Is Going Viral
Tom Cruise is a whole It's been almost thirty years since hunky heartthrob Ethan Hunt (Tom) dangled from a ceiling in the first Mission: Impossible movie based on the 1966 TV series. The legendary leading man who's become a household name from the '80s and beyond is back in Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning. Truth be told, my jaw is on the floor because the action sequences look more dangerous than ever before. But, to my surprise, doing death-defying stunts in your late 50s/early 60s in one of the highest-grossing and long-running series of all time is not why Tommy is going viral. Eight movies of Tom's unbelievable stunts —jumping from helicopters, running from explosions, leaping from tall buildings, dangling from more helicopters — and THE BIGGEST STUNT GOING VIRAL IS HIM EATING POPCORN! In a video posted by user @seifwtf on X, Tom went in on a popcorn bucket, aggressively flinging pieces into his mouth at the BFI IMAX Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018) screening. Tom also received a BFI Fellowship at the BFI Chair's Dinner, but all folks wanted to talk about was this single moment of him eating a bag of popcorn. People had hilarious reactions to Tom's high-octane eating popcorn-eating technique. One person said, "this is how my dad eats popcorn." This person suggested that "someone hand him heavier popcorn," and maybe that would help. I can't believe somebody compared him to a Nep-Enut from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. This user said, "I have got to change the way I eat popcorn." Someone else said Tom is "Just leaving mountain of popcorn on the floor in his wake," and I'm curious if this is true. I love the way this person incorporated Mission: Impossible lore into their joke. "Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get it in your mouth, not on the floor," they wrote. "Man, I'm eating popcorn," Tom said, laughing. "They know when I'm going to these movies that I'm watching, I'm eating popcorn." Tom Cruise is serious about cinema and the movie theater experience; his popcorn practices are just an element of that dedication. You remember this 2023 promotional video for Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning? In another viral video shared on X, Tom was urging a fan to "go get some more" popcorn since he ate it all before the movie began. One person asked, "If you've not finished your popcorn before the movie starts have you been been to the cinema?" Someone else suggested, "This dude can never go to the movies again. Just embarrassing," after being called out by Tom. Tom should make an ASMR channel where he eats different types of popcorn in different movie theaters. Based on the internet's reactions, it would do numbers.
