Box Office: 'Mission Impossible 8' Tops 100 Crore Gross In India

Mumbai, June 2 - Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise has delivered again at the Indian box office as his latest blockbuster Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (M:I 8) has topped 100 crore gross collection, following the big success of the previous film of the franchise. ## Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the spy action thriller hit the milestone in 16 days as the total collection of the film stands at around 106 crore gross through the third Sunday (16 days). It now needs another 25 crore gross to top Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (131+ crore) to become the highest-grossing film of the franchise in India. ## The Final Reckoning is only the second movie of Tom Cruise to hit 100 crore gross in India. The movie, however, needs to score strongly in the coming days to surpass the previous film, which will not be easy as legs are weakening, and there will be competition with new releases. ## At the worldwide box office, Mission: Impossible 8 has crossed $350 million. It has grossed $353 million (3020 crore), including $231 million (1975 crore) at the overseas box office and $122.5 million (1045 crore) in North America. It is tracking to earn $600+ million in its lifetime run, which is higher than Death Reckoning's $571 million. ## Stay tuned...
