The eighth Mission: Impossible film earned $200 million over the four-day Memorial Day weekend, behind Disney's live-action Lilo & Stitch remake at $341 million.

The two films together led the Memorial Day weekend to a new box office record.

"Congratulations and thank you to every filmmaker, every artist, every crew member and every single person who works at the studios," Cruise wrote. To every theater and every employee who helps bring these stories to audiences, thank you."

"To everyone that works at Paramount Pictures and Skydance, thank you for your many years of partnership and unwavering support," he wrote. "And most of all, THANK YOU to audiences everywhere for whom we all serve and for whom we all LOVE to entertain. Sincerely, Tom."

The Final Reckoning marks Cruise's eighth and possibly final appearance as Ethan Hunt in the Mission: Impossible franchise.
