‘Mission: Impossible – Fallout’ sets record for biggest opening week in history, Tom Cruise’s action shines once again
Starring Tom Cruise, ‘Mission: Impossible – Fallout’ has set a new record for the highest opening week revenue in the history of the series, causing a box office storm worldwide.
After its release in North America on the 23rd, it surpassed the record of its predecessor ‘Fallout’ with a revenue of $63 million over the first 3 days. Following its early release in Korea, it added $127 million from regions outside North America, achieving a total global box office success of $190 million (approximately 259.9 billion KRW).
In Korea, it surpassed 1 million viewers in just 5 days after its release on the 17th, recording over 1.83 million cumulatIVE viewers.
Breaking both the highest pre-sale volume and opening score of the year, Tom Cruise’s unedited action and large-scale filming have been met with enthusiastic responses from audiences.
The film depicts the story of protagonist Ethan Hunt and his team facing a life-threatening crisis that threatens humanity, standing out as a blockbuster action film that is dominating the box office.
Meanwhile, with a production budget of $400 million, continuous success is necessary to reach the breakeven point.
In the North American box office, Disney’s ‘Lilo & Stitch’ took the top spot, with these two films contributing to the highest ticket sales in 10 years as the two pillars of the box office.
