    TPM made $431M in 1999. The 474 number you're seeing must be from later re-releases. But yes it was huge, not too far from TFA's admissions. TFA had a large amount of PLF boost in 2015, which essentially did not exist for TPM in 1999. Those 2 movies are much closer in admissions than people realize. TPM was around 85 million admissions, quite a bit larger than films like Spidey 1 or TDK (around 70M admissions). 

     

    What was TFA's admissions? And is there a list somewhere that displays accurate(ish) admissions totals for new movies?

    After Top Gun 2's runaway success last year, I thought there might be a big Cruise-related boost—I thought perhaps it could approach 300m domestic or something—but it just doesn't seem like it's gonna happen at this point. Thing is, if a really established franchise wants to make a huge leap from installment to installment, you need the presence of a special x-factor (Dark Knight, Skyfall, Furious 7, etc. all had one) that unlocks a new segment of the moviegoing audience, and I think the hype surrounding Barbie & Oppenheimer has basically precluded any shot that DR had of doing so, even with amazing reviews and (I'm guessing) great WOM. Looks like 250m is the ceiling at this point and that's totally fine.

    Been following DR's tracking numbers and there really does seem to be a consistent ceiling for this franchise.

Looks like 200-220m is the ceiling at this point and that's totally fine.

    For me, there’s not a single Mission Impossible-film in the franchise that i didn’t like or didn’t work. Since i find all of them very enjoyable. Yes, even the first few MI-films are pretty good and underrated. 💁🏻‍♀️

     

    Aside from the most well-received & beloved MI films (4-7), are there anyone who are big fans of the first three films (1-3)?

     

    Huge fan of the first. In fact, it may be my favorite of the franchise on a purely gut level.
