The Hollywood Reporter has shared some interesting details on the production of Mission: Impossible - Fallout and it sounds like Tom Cruise may now officially have the most expensive ankle in show business.
According to their sources, the production budget on Fallout skyrocketed to approximately $250 million, due to the eight-week filming hiatus following Cruise's on-set ankle injury in August. Fortunately, however, most of that additional cost will be covered by insurance since Cruise was working when he got hurt, so the actual production budget is roughly $180 million, give or take.
THR notes that the Fallout team used their downtime wisely, editing their already shot footage together in order to ensure they would meet their already set July release date. They also add that the critically-acclaimed film required absolutely no reshoots - a rarity for a project of this caliber, especially after an injury to the film's leading man.
In a separate report, The Hollywood Reporter projects a $50 million opening weekend, possibly landing in the $52 million to $57 million range, which would more or less match the opening of 2015's Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation. There is hope that the launch could go much higher, thanks, in no small part, to the widespread critical acclaim and incredibly positive word-of-mouth. It currently boasts an incredible 97% Certified Fresh rating on the popular review aggregator RottenTomatoes, which is a career-high for Cruise.
