Mission: Impossible Wins Uk Box Office Battle
Interestingly, the Mission Impossible movie franchise accumulated over $2 billion since its debut in 1996 and has produced four super-hits so far, with an average collection of $500 million per movie.
Paramount Pictures Vice Chairman Rob Moore has expressed his delight as he ratifies the recent revelation on a sequel for Christopher McQuarrie’s “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation“. Opening weekend audiences were 62 per cent male and 81 per cent over the age of 25. Taking these factors into consideration, we strongly believe that the movie is favorably positioned to cross the $500 million mark and eclipse the performance of the previous release from the series – Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol – which collected roughly $694 million.
No Russian movie was able to make top-10 this weekend. The $30 million film earned $14.9 million over the weekend and $21.2 million since opening Wednesday. “Vacation”, starring Ed Helms (“The Hangover” films) and Christina Applegate (the “Anchorman” films), takes the family on the road for another ill-fated adventure.
Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation has become the weekend’s top grossing movie in Russian Federation a week before its official release, thanks to preview screenings.
Critics were not kind to the raunchy comedy from first-time directors John Frances Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, and audiences as a whole didn’t seem too thrilled either.
Southpaw was up to third from fourth last week, taking in £1.1m, while Ant-Man and Minions dropped to fourth and fifth respectively.
