Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise is poised to earn between ₹820 crore and ₹984 crore (approximately $100–120 million) from his upcoming film, “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.” This impressive figure primarily stems from his base salary and a significant share of the film’s profits, thanks to his role as a producer on the project.
“Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” is anticipated to be one of the most expensive films ever, with a staggering production budget of ₹3,300 crore (about $400 million). To recover this investment, the film will need to gross at least ₹8,300 crore ($1 billion) globally. While this is a daunting challenge, Cruise’s track record and star power make this target achievable.
Throughout the years, Tom Cruise has raked in substantial earnings from the “Mission: Impossible” franchise alone. His earnings from each installment of the series have been impressive, making him a standout figure in Hollywood. The earnings breakdown includes:
