"Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One: Early Box Office Success and Tom Cruise's Thrilling Performance"

Paramount/Skydance's "Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning - Part One" is projected to earn $6M-$7M in previews, surpassing the previous installment's Thursday previews. The film, with a runtime of 2 hours and 43 minutes, aims to set a franchise record with a Wednesday start. It has received positive reviews and is expected to gross around $90M domestically and over $250M worldwide in its first five days. Tom Cruise's previous film, "Top Gun: Maverick," performed exceptionally well at the box office, and even if "Dead Reckoning" falls short initially, Cruise's movies tend to have long legs.
