‘Mission: Impossible’ in Cruise control at box office

Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible—Fallout did not fall off with movie fans, notching a second straight week atop the box office in North American theaters and besting new Disney film Christopher Robin, industry data showed Monday.

Fallout, the sixth stunt-filled edition in the popular M:I franchise, took in $35.3 million in its second weekend of release, putting its total so far at $124.8 million, according to Exhibitor Relations. 

Critics and audiences have warmed to the film, in which Cruise again does his own vertigo-inducing, cliff-hanging, exploding-car stunts. 

 
Disney’s live-animated hybrid Christopher Robin, which tells the story of Winnie the Pooh’s now grown-up and stressed-out friend and how he reunites with his old stuffed friend, debuted in second place at $24.6 million. 

In third was another new release, action comedy flick The Spy Who Dumped Me, at $12.1 million, it’s followed by Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again and The Equalizer 2 that raked in $9 million and $8.8 million at the box office, respectively.
