The Stages Which Determined The Future Of Mission: Impossible

Their clever use of the balance between action and adventure, coupled with the appeal of the futuristic gadgets, the franchise set a benchmark in the film industry for the next generation of spy movies.
On the other hand, in Mission: Impossible III, they made it in such a way that people would be able to get to know and love the franchise better. However, the third installment would only bring in moderate success in terms of reviews and finance. Furthermore, after the release of the fourth installment, Ghost Protocol, the franchise's future were uncertain as there were rumors of Tom Cruise's departure from the movie, which entails that Jeremy Renner would be taking on the lead role.
However, despite all of the problems and rumors surrounding the franchise back then, Tom Cruise decided to stay and with Ghost Protocol and its sequel Rogue Nation, each earning nearly $700 million. The franchise became stable and would reach the milestone of the eighteenth highest grossing franchise of all time.
