The premiere was held in Lagos, recently and organised by Silverbird Film Distribution.
Speaking at the event, the Key Account Manager, of Silverbird Distribution, Moses Agochukwu, said he anticipates at least a $400 million box office record.
He explained that the movie is a 2023 American spy action film directed by Christopher McQuarrie from a screenplay he co-wrote with Erik Jendresen. It is the sequel to Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018) and the seventh installment in the Mission: Impossible film series.
Dead Reckoning Part One sees Tom Cruise return as Ethan Hunt, whose IMF team matches wits with a powerful rogue AI known as “the Entity.”
It follows secret agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) once again on a race with newfound ally Grace, to find a deadly weapon. The fate of the world remains at stake should it fall into the wrong hands. Yet forces conspire, each with their agendas, to stop Ethan and acquire the weapon for themselves.
Alibaba, however, said that Cruise depicts professionalism all the time when acting.
