MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - ROGUE NATION Continues to Dominate International Box Office
It may have lost the top box office spot to Straight Outta Compton, but internationally, Tom Cruise is still king as Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation finished #1 for the 3rd week in a row!
After two solid weeks atop the North American box office, Paramount's Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation finally had to cede its top spot to F. Gary Gray's critically acclaimed biopic Straight Outta Compton, which debuted to an impressive $56 million domestically and continued Universal's banner year. However, internationally, Tom Cruise & the IMF are still going strong as the Chris McQuarrie-directed action sequel finished #1 overseas for the third week in a row after pulling in a solid $46 million, which brought its worldwide total to approximately $373.4 million with major releases in Italy, Venezuela, Greece, and China still on the way.
Elsewhere, Fox's Fantastic Four managed to finish #2 internationally, collecting $16.2 million over the weekend and bringing its worldwide total to $102 million. This weekend's other major release, Guy Ritchie's The Man From U.N.C.L.E., took in an estimated $12 million, with an exceptional performance in Russia. A few of this summer other major releases, such as Jurassic World & Minions, also continued to perform well. Jurassic World took in about $8.9 million bringing its record-breaking worldwide total to over $1.6 billion and Minions took in about $15 million bringing its worldwide total to over $957 million.
With the IMF disbanded, and Ethan (Tom Cruise) out in the cold, the team now faces off against a network of highly skilled special agents, the Syndicate. These highly trained operatives are hellbent on creating a new world order through an escalating series of terrorist attacks. Ethan gathers his team and joins forces with disavowed British agent Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson), who may or may not be a member of this rogue nation, as the group faces their most impossible mission yet.
