‘Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning’ cost $400M to make, but the last movie only made $571M—Fans roast, “Well that’s a flop”

As reported by Matt Belloni on The Town podcast, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning logged a staggering $400 million production budget - making it more expensive than even some of Hollywood's biggest films. However, the last part of the movie only made $571M globally.

Yes, which means Tom Cruise's new stunt-heavy adventure somehow cost more money than movies with whole alien planets, futuristic realms, and CGI monsters aplenty.

As soon as the news came out, someone took to their X account and commented:

"Well that’s a flop"

As word of the $400 million budget went out, a few fans couldn't help but forecast doom. One response quickly called it a flop before the film even opened in theaters. But with Mission: Impossible, you never know - Tom Cruise may just skydive into every showing personally to ensure it breaks even!

With Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning being produced at a $400 million tag, the internet didn't wait to respond. Some are eagerly anticipating the action, while others are sure that the budget comes with a clandestine mission to space.

Regardless, fans were not shy - let's get into the top reactions!
