Tom Cruise is an exceptional actor and is always top in the releases. What makes him a good actor is not his good looks and charming personality. Instead, his versatile movie roles compelled him to go unconventional.
One of his roles as Ethan Hunt in theMission Impossiblefranchise is forever to be remembered. Recently, Cruise returned with his blockbusterMission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, which is now in theatres. The film is packed with twists and turns, making it worth watching after all but even with all these elements, it still couldn’t surpass the records ofOppenheimer.
Now, Tom Cruise seems to be struggling with his very ownMission: Impossibleas his latest installment in the action franchise,Dead Reckoning, continues grinding at the box office. The film faces tough competition from the dual releases ofBarbieandOppenheimer,even though it was released 9 days before them.

Mission: Impossible 7Couldn’t BeatOppenheimer
July was the month of chaos and excitement with the release of big movies. While there was a massive craze ofOppenheimerandBarbie, the hopes were also high withTom Cruise‘s return, but unfortunately, the wave ofOppenheimercrushed it.
Mission: Impossible 7was a smash hit at the box office, surpassing approximately $9.4 million in just one week. The film has also experienced remarkable success on a global scale, with an Associated Press report revealing that it has earned over $235 million within five days of its release, making it a blockbuster.
On the other hand, Oppenheimer, featuringCillian Murphyas the father of the atomic bomb, has also stood to its ground surpassing $500 million in global earnings by August 5th. This is a remarkable achievement, especially considering it’s a three-hour-long film centered around a historical figure.
But now it’s bad news forM: I7. Despite its franchise-record $235 million opening globally, Paramount/Skydance’sMission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part Onestill has a long way to go – at least ahead to matchOppenheimer‘s impressive performance.

Before we look at how it compares toMission: Impossible 7, it’s worth notingOppenheimer’srecords are already set.
