What lies ahead for Mission Impossible 7?

After its weekend bump, Mission: Impossible 7 entered a period of steady decline. On July 17, it collected Rs 5 crore and eventually declined to its 2nd Friday turnaround of Rs 2.41 crore. It is facing competition from Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer and Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, which were released on July 21.

Moreover, Oppenheimer has taken away most of the IMAX screens from MI. Add to this, the Indian box office is set to become even more competitive with the July 28 release of Rocky Aur Ranii Ki Prem Kahaani.
