Tom Cruise is set to bring his high-octane action back to screens as Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning prepares for its digital premiere. The eighth installment in the blockbuster franchise will begin streaming exclusively on Paramount+ starting December 4, 2025, positioning it perfectly for holiday season entertainment.
From Cannes to Global Box Office Success
The film first made waves at the prestigious 2025 Cannes Film Festival, where it screened in an out-of-competition slot. This marked Cruise's second high-profile appearance at the festival following his 2022 visit for Top Gun: Maverick. The movie subsequently hit theaters worldwide on May 23, 2025, where it achieved remarkable commercial success.
According to Deadline, the film registered the largest global opening in the franchise's history and went on to collect an impressive $598 million worldwide. This continues the series' trend of delivering massive box office returns while maintaining critical acclaim.
Star-Studded Cast and Creative Team
Christopher McQuarrie returns to direct the latest Mission: Impossible chapter, having established his signature style across previous installments. The cast features a compelling mix of familiar faces and exciting new additions that will expand the franchise universe.
