  1. Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation grossed $9.4 million (-39%) from 64 overseas territories this frame, bringing the international cume to $328.7 million and the worldwide total to$511.187 million. Top holdovers include France ($1.4M/$18.4M cume), Japan ($1.3M/$36.1M cume), Germany ($980K/$12.4M cume), UK/Ireland ($820K/$31.2M cume), and Brazil ($700K/$8.8M cume). 

     

    Rogue Nation opens in its final territory China on Tuesday. The film had its premiere in Shanghai on Saturday with Tom Cruise, co-star Rebecca Ferguson and director Christopher McQuarrie in attendance. Cruise also met with Alibaba CEO Jack Ma whose Alibaba Pictures co-financed Rogue Nation. The film should be on the same level as this summer’s blockbusters Avengers: Age of Ultron and Jurassic World and early predictions are saying $200M+ is possible. 

  2. Love It - watched it a million times by now & will probably watch it a million more - I just love it!!  I graduated high school in the early 80s - this was usually how kids were defined - Stoners. Jocks. Nerds, etc. - but it was not so severe that you were just stuck with your group - we did intermingle.  John Hughes teen movies all seem to focus on this aspect of adolescent. 

  3. The book is over a thousand pages long.  I'm wondering why Cary thought they needed his childhood memories to flesh out the characters or plot line  Oh yeah -- he needed to update it.  Still, the studio ideas on the other end sound less promising

    The best parts of the book & miniseries are when they are children - take that out of the movie & what exactly is left??  I loved the fact that these misfit children found each other & together they could conquer Pennywise & the bullies.  Just sounds like a complete mess so far!

  4. I think mine was 3.5m so not much better.  :P

     

    I'm sorry I doubted you Bob! It's also based on a great book that's rather popular so it looks like it's fans came out.  It's a shame that  Redford couldn't get financing for this before Newman became ill.

    That is a shame cause I know they were always looking for something to do again together - great pair!!  I do like Nick Nolte though - curious to see how they play off each other.

  5. Estimates for The little prince : 300 000 admissions

     

    The little prince number one for this weekend

     

    Maybe only -10%.

    So Deadline is wrong because this was posted yesterday:

     

    M:I5 is still No. 1 in France with a cume of $16.5M; Brazil also held the top spot with a total $7.9M

  7. its not doing franchise best everywhere. Even Korea it has dropped form MI4. OS minus China below MI4 is definitely not great considering how much the OS markets have expanded. Just look at how some of the recent blockbusters like Furious 7, Jurassic World or Minions did. Minions increased quite a bit despite having way worse exchange rate than DM2.

     

    That said I am not saying numbers are bad. Just that legs have been unimpressive and some of the key growth markets in Latin America have ignored this franchise despite generally supporting action movies.

    You do realize that the 2 films MI5 went up against in South Korea were monsters at the box office right?  The fact that this film grossed $40 M against them is pretty good actually IMO.  I think you are also forgetting that MI4 was a holiday movie - those have legs forever if they are good!  As for FF7 - that was all Paul Walker & nobody will convince me otherwise.  Jurassic World, having just seen it I honestly have no idea why that is making so much bank - I found it rather ridiculous but obviously the rest of the world doesn't think so.  Latin America - they have different taste is all I can say but yes they don't seem to flock to Tom's movies.  I honestly don't get the complaining - it's not like it is bombing around the world.  I think some people just like to complain or be disappointed - I'm not one of them.
