Box Office: 'Mission Impossible 7' Hits Big Opening Weekend With $235 Million Globally
Los Angeles, July 16 - Tom Cruise muscles his star power as his latest summer blockbuster "Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning - Part One" scores a huge opening weekend of $234.10 million at the global box office, the biggest global debut for the franchise.
Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the 7th installment in the Mission Impossible series hits the franchise's best 5-day record with a $78.5 million launch, including $55 million between Friday and Sunday. The movie was, however, projected to reach $90 million over the 5-day weekend.
The Friday to Sunday opening of $55 million of "MI7" landed behind 2018's "Mission: Impossible – Fallout" ($61 million) and 2000's "Mission: Impossible II" ($57.8 million). Trade believes that a traditional Friday release of the latest blockbuster would have easily hit $75+ million over the Fri-Sun weekend, however, the 5-day opening is still reasonable as the movie has enough power to have a long run.
Overseas, Tom Cruise scored his biggest opening ever with $155.60 million on a 5-day opening weekend over 70 markets. The previous best for the actor was "Top Gun: Maverick" which grossed $126 million overseas opening weekend before the movie finished its run at around $1.5 billion globally.
China was the number one overseas market of MI7 with a $25.4 million opening weekend, followed by Korea with $14.3 million, the UK with $13.8 million, India with a huge $9 million, and Australia with $8.3 million start.
MI7 will have a stiff competition going forward as Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" and Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" are opening on July 21. Both movies are hugely anticipated and have been projected to score at least $125+ million on opening weekend.
