The budget, always the budget. The long-awaited Mission: Impossible 8 will be accompanied by a record-breaking figure. The next installment of the long-running saga, once again starring Tom Cruise, now 60, in the role of Ethan Hunt, has been mired in a lengthy production process that has led to a delay in its release and much speculation about the outrageous amount of money it is needing.
According to Puck News, Mission: Impossible 8’s budget has already surpassed $300 million, making it the most expensive installment in the franchise and one of the most expensive films in history. This news comes after Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, the seventh, was released last year, which grossed $567 million worldwide, but lost more than $200 million in its premiere because it cost about $291 million to produce. .
The Mission: Impossible film series has been almost synonymous with big production budgets, as the films have placed a priority on maximizing the quality of visual and practical effects for the death-defying action sequences. This is especially important in Tom Cruise films, as the actor prefers to perform his own stunts for a realistic effect. This approach has paid off over the years, as The franchise has grossed more than $4.09 billion worldwidemaking it one of the highest-grossing film series of all time.
However, reports from the eighth installment and losses from the seventh slightly question this approach. Before the release of the latter, the most expensive Mission: Impossible film was 2018’s Fallout, which cost $180 million. Before that there was Rogue Nation, which cost around $150 million, just half the budget now being talked about for the eighth. However, Dead Reckoning’s inflated budget was a result of the pandemic affecting production and other filming issues.

But he also signs up for any bombing that has to do with pushing his body to the limit, whether driving an Aston Martin or going to the office on a scooter.
He is a big Atlético de Madrid fan, so when footballers like Marcos Llorente or Álvaro Morata have appeared on the cover of Men’s Health, he was there to write about it. He has just run his first marathon for Runner’s World, and as happens in this universe, he is already looking for the next one to go under 3 hours. If any type of paddle tennis racket, vehicle or watch needs to be tested, he has no problem. Even trainers. Whatever sports equipment is needed.
Joaquín graduated in journalism from USP-CEU in 2013, but since 2009, when he joined the University newspaper, he began working as a 360-degree “journalist” in digital and print. The next steps of his almost 15-year career were taken doing culture and sports at Shangay magazine, until he joined Hearst a week before the start of the pandemic in 2020.
