Tom Cruise's spy action blockbuster masterpiece is making a comeback. It's 'Mission: Impossible - Final Reckoning' (hereafter 'Mission: Impossible 8'), which is currently ranked first in overall pre-sales, a remarkable 8 days before its release.

According to the integrated ticketing system for movie theaters on the 9th, as of 8 PM that day, the film has recorded approximately 41,000 pre-sale tickets, securing the top spot in overall pre-sales.

Set to be released on the 17th, 'Mission: Impossible 8' is an action blockbuster where Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and the IMF team members risk their lives to embark on a single mission amidst a dire crisis threatening all of humanity.

With thrilling extreme real action from Tom Cruise and the overwhelming synergy of 'Team IMF', the film is expected to captivate audiences. Notably, it features unprecedented action across land, sea, and air, and is being highlighted as a new box office powerhouse in theaters this May.

The day before (on the 8th), Tom Cruise, along with director Christopher McQuarrie, Hayley Atwell, Simon Pegg, Pom Klementieff, and Greg Tarzan Davis, visited Korea to spend special time with Korean fans, further raising the anticipation of potential viewers.

Moreover, during a press conference that day, Tom Cruise expressed, "This series, which I poured my dreams into from the beginning, has now reached its 8th installment, and we are at the pinnacle with the finale. In the meantime, I have also turned 60," adding, "I have developed my cinematic skills and gained various know-how. I have worked hard to incorporate these into the work and apply them to the advanced technology. I am happy to be able to show the results to the audience."

Additionally, he stated, "This work has been upgraded in every aspect, not just in scale but also in storytelling. I dare say it is the pinnacle of the series created over the past 30 years."

It will be released on May 17.
