Blockbuster Fallout for “Mission Impossible”: Friday Box Office $23 Million, Will Beat Last Two Installments

Share

The fallout from the new “Mission Impossible” is pretty, pretty good.

The new movie made $23 million last night in combo with Thursday previews. It beat the last installment, “Rogue Nation”  by $3 million.

If “Fallout” can clear $55.5 mil for the weekend, it will be the biggest “Mission Impossible” movie ever. This chapter opened in the largest number of theaters you can find in the US– 4,386. That’s about 400 more locations than “Rogue Nation.”

“Fallout” exceeds “Ghost Protocol,” which had a limited opening and platformed up over its first two weeks.

Meantime. “Black Panther” hits $700 million today. Amazing. Bravo!
