Tom Cruise's 'Mission: Impossible 6' Tops Box Office With $10M Friday
Staying at the top of the weekend box office charts proved to be a not-so-mission: difficult for Paramount/Viacom Inc.'s Mission: Impossible – Fallout. The acclaimed and buzzy Tom Cruise /Rebecca Ferguson/Henry Cavill action sequel earned another $9.9 million (-57%) to bring its eight-day total to $99.3m domestic. Yes, it will pass $100m by the end of this sentence and should earn around $35m (-43%) to bring its ten-day cume to $124.4m. That’s a strong second-weekend gross and a superb hold.
Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation fell 48% on its second weekend, and the estimated 43% drop puts it in the same league as (relatively speaking) Black Panther and Wonder Woman. It’s on par with the 42% drop for the equally well-reviewed/buzzy Edge of Tomorrow. That sci-fi flick cost too much ($175m) so its $100m domestic/$375m global total was a disappointment, but it still topped 3.4x its $29m debut over its domestic run. Rogue Nation eventually earned 3.5x its $55.5m debut weekend.
Point being, if we’re looking at best-case-scenarios for big-budget Tom Cruise movies, those would be the two flicks I’d pick, specifically among those that didn’t open over the Christmas season (sorry Ghost Protocol and Jack Reacher). And unless The Meg goes bonkers next weekend, it does appear that Fallout will do what Rogue Nation did three summers ago, namely open big in late July and then run the tables over the rest of the summer alongside Straight Outta Compton.
This is a terrific hold for a terrific movie, and it’s now almost inevitable that the movie will end its domestic run over $200 million. If it merely runs like Rogue Nation from this point onward (1.81x its ten-day total), we’re looking at a $224m domestic cume. Anything leggier than that, and it’ll be bigger than Fate of the Furious ($226m in 2017) in North America. And yeah, it’s probably going to zoom past Ant-Man and the Wasp ($210m) and Solo ($215m) to become the summer’s fifth-biggest domestic earner.
It's a long-shot, but it could sneak past War of the Worlds ($234 million in 2005) to become Tom Cruise's biggest domestic earner of all time. None of that accounts for inflation, but we'll cross that bridge when we get a better idea of its domestic finish. If it can withstand Warner Bros./Time Warner Inc.'s The Meg and STX Entertainment's Mile 22, it won't have much action competition until Jennifer Garner's Peppermint (also STX) and Fox's The Predator in mid-September. By the way, Monday is the 25th anniversary of The Fugitive and the 19th anniversary of The Sixth Sense. Fancy that...
