Article: Box Office Disappointment: 'Dead Reckoning — Part One' Grosses Only $120 Million Domestically

Tom Cruise faces a worrisome box office challenge as "Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One" only grosses $120 million domestically in the last two weeks. Surprisingly, even "Sound of Freedom" outperformed it, raking in $125 million.

Comparing it to previous installments, "Mission: Impossible — Fallout" earned $220 million, and "Rogue Nation" reached approximately $195 million. It remains to be seen if 'Dead Reckoning' can match their success.
Despite positive reviews and heavy marketing with Tom Cruise's name, the film struggled to gain momentum, partly due to competing with the hit 'Barbenheimer' at the box office.

Last year, Cruise's "Top Gun: Maverick" saved the box office, amassing $1.5 billion worldwide. However, 'Dead Reckoning' fell 64% in its second weekend, earning only $19.5 million, even trailing "Sound of Freedom."
With higher Rotten Tomatoes scores than "Barbie" or "Oppenheimer," Paramount and Cruise hopes 'Dead Reckoning' can pick up steam. However, the film failed to meet initial expectations of a $90 million opening, settling for $78 million.

Adding to the challenges, the sequel is already in production, but strike-related delays halted its progress, with only 40% of filming completed. Paramount faces budget concerns as they ponder if the audience interest in 'Mission: Impossible' films is dwindling.

Costing nearly $300 million to produce, 'Dead Reckoning' found better traction in foreign markets, totaling $371 million globally. It remains uncertain if the film will break even, relying on the international market for potential success.
