Impossible franchise came to an explosive end weeks ago with the release of The Final Reckoning. Not only did Tom Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie send off Ethan Hunt on a high note with some awesome action sequences,

The Final Reckoning, however, netted $10.3 million throughout its fourth weekend, and it now stands at $166.3 million domestically. Toss in $340.5 million from overseas markets (including the $21 million it made internationally this weekend) and the supposedly final Mission has now crossed $500 billion worldwide.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning director Christopher McQuarrie has revealed why the movie didn't kill off Ethan Hunt. The recent entry in the blockbuster franchise is touted as the last chapter of the series, and as such many fans had speculated that the film would do the impossible and have Tom Cruise 's character die.
