Variety reported on July 15 that Tom Cruise’s film hopes to earn $90 million in North America by the end of its first week of release. Mission Impossible: Karma Part 1 held the No. 1 position on the North American box office chart for the week, but this was not as good a number as expected from people in the industry.
According to Daily Mail, previously, the filmmaking world expected that the action work full of effort and enthusiasm by Tom Cruise and his crew with a long-standing brand would create a box office fever.
It will stir up the summer, dispel the gloomy sales of previous blockbusters and bring box office records like what Top Gun: Maverick did.
The film received many compliments from critics and audiences
Top Gun: Maverick also starred Tom Cruise, once grossed 126 million USD in North America after 3 days of release, and currently the film has grossed more than 1.5 billion USD globally. They are waiting for Top Gun: Maverick’s glory , but it seems Mission Impossible: Karma part 1 is having difficulty completing its mission.
The reason the revenue was not as expected as analyzed by Variety is because Tom Cruise’s films attract an older audience than the target audience of men from 13 years old to mid-30s.
The word-of-mouth effect will hopefully help the film increase revenue in the future
The film has many dangerous action scenes performed by Tom Cruise himself
However, experts are still optimistic and expect that the word-of-mouth effect will help the film reach a wider audience and revenue will increase in the near future. Mission Impossible: Karma part 1 currently grossed 122.5 million USD worldwide, the film has an investment of 291 million USD so it still needs a long journey to recover capital.
The work received many compliments from critics and audiences. Tom Cruise had an impressive performance when performing action scenes himself without a stuntman. Even at the age of 60, he still constantly exercises and maintains a youthful figure for his age.
In Vietnamese theaters, according to statistics from Box Office Vietnam (an independent Vietnamese box office revenue statistics site, with small errors), the film grossed more than 34 billion VND, ranking second in the daily box office rankings, ranked after the movie Conan.
