The Tom Cruise-led film, “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,” dominated the box office on Friday, earning an impressive $16.55 million, as reported by IMDB’s Box Office Mojo. This action-packed spy thriller has been hailed as the “must-see movie of the summer” by critics, and it debuted in select theaters on Monday before its wide release on Wednesday.
In a surprising twist, “Sound of Freedom” climbed to the second position, earning nearly $7.5 million. This film is based on the incredible true story of Timothy Ballard, a former agent of the Department of Homeland Security, who bravely took down a child sexual abuse ring in Colombia. However, some liberal media outlets have criticized the movie, claiming that it contains veiled references to the QAnon conspiracy theory.
Taking the third spot is the bone-chilling supernatural horror film, “Insidious: The Red Door,” which garnered $4.15 million in ticket sales. Released just last Friday, it had an outstanding opening weekend, earning a staggering $32.65 million in domestic sales, making it the second highest-grossing opening weekend for the franchise, as reported by Forbes. Notably, this spine-tingling film marks the directorial debut of Patrick Wilson.
Unfortunately, “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” which held the second position last week, dropped to fourth place, earning a modest $3.3 million. Critics at Collider believe that the film’s heavy reliance on nostalgia led to its downfall, comparing it to the less successful installment, “Temple of Doom.”
Rounding out the top five is Pixar’s enchanting animation, “Elemental,” which made a splash close to a month after its release on June 16, grossing $2.6 million in sales.
