Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One took over the box office, scoring a franchise-best $80M domestically.
considering Dead Reckoning’s hefty $290M price tag, which is on par with Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny , a film dubbed as an enormous flop. However, there are a few things to consider here. First, Indy struggled to produce numbers overseas and has made just $263M worldwide during its first three weeks of release. Dead Reckoning performed incredibly well abroad, as is customary with the franchise.
Also, Dead Reckoning is pacing 15% ahead of Fallout internationally and has yet to open in Japan, a country that contributed $42M to that film’s total. On the negative side, Dead Reckoning is pacing 66% behind Fallout in China, which dropped $181M in Fallout ticket sales in 2018. Things are much different these days, post-pandemic.
Elsewhere, Angel Studios’ Sound of Freedom continues to blow past expectations. The modestly produced thriller actually increased sales by 37% in its second weekend, hauling in a terrific $27M to bring its domestic total to $85M. Things get really interesting this weekend. Barbie could be the breakout hit of the summer, a solid, brightly-coloredthat stands out amongst the creaky Transformers and Indiana Jones offerings. Oppenheimer is the wild card here with its R-rating and questionable 3-hour runtime. This one needs exceptional reviews and word-of-mouth to blast through the competition. Although, to be fair, its budget is said to be $100M, meaning it doesn’t have to gross a billion to break even.
