Mission Impossible 7 box office

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One has caught the attention of Tom Cruise fans for its several nail-biting action scenes. Tom’s co-star Hayley Atwell has also performed stunts in the film.

According to a report on Sacnilk.com, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One collected ₹3.8 crore on Thursday. It currently stands at a total of ₹82.38 crore. The report also predicts the film to collect ₹1.7 crore on Friday, after Barbie and Oppenheimer also joins the race.

Barbie box office prediction

Another report on the portal predicts a ₹7 crore opening for Barbie. The film stars Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken. Greta Gerwig has directed the film which shows Barbie stepping out of her Barbieland to face challenges in the real world. It opened in theatres on Friday to positive reviews. The Hindustan Times review of the film calls it a ‘smart satire, clever, indulgent and fun’.

Oppenheimer is also in the race

Friday also saw the release of Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer which stars Cillian Murphy as J Robert Oppenheimer, called the ‘father of the atomic bomb’. The film also stars Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr, Florence Pugh, Casey Affleck, Rami Malek, Josh Hartnett and Kenneth Branagh.

The HT review of the film read: “Oppenheimer is about the messy, deeply unnerving intersection between science and politics. How selfish, self-serving leaders are awarded unbridled power. How wars and governments corrupt, contaminate, and bastardize science.”

Both Barbie and Oppenheimer got a thumbs up from critics and it now remains to be seen, which of the two will perform better or if Tom Cruise will rise again at the box office with his Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One.
