6 movies in, Tom Cruise, ‘Mission: Impossible’ still a box office draw.
Audiences turned out this weekend to see Tom Cruise in his sixth run as Ethan Hunt in “Mission: Impossible — Fallout,” which easily took the No. 1 spot at the domestic box office.
Studios on Sunday estimate that “Fallout” earned $61.5 million from 4,386 North American theaters. Not accounting for inflation, it’s a best for the series which has grossed over $2.8 billion worldwide and one of Cruise’s biggest too.
“Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” placed second with $15 million, while “The Equalizer 2” fell to third with $14 million and “Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation” took fourth with $12.3 million.
The animated “Teen Titans Go! To the Movies” was the only film to open against “Fallout.” The Warner Bros. release earned $10.5 million and landed in fifth place.
