Mission:Impossible III

The Tom Cruise franchise movie Mission:Impossible Fallout is still pulling in the crowds at the world box office this week as it holds of competition from Chinese films Hello Mr. Billionaire and Along With The Gods The Last 49 Days.

This weeks global gross for the 6th Mission:Impossible movie is $111 million from 57 countries which brings the films total gross globally to $329.4 million.

This means the film has nearly made as much as the lowest grossing of the series Mission:Impossible III and halfway to the top grossing film in the series Mission:Impossible Rogue Nation.

China's Hello Mr. Billionaire holds strong at number 2 this week with $65 million dollars from just China, this brings the films total gross to $289.9 million.

Highest new global hit of the week is Along With The Gods The Last 49 Days which takes $37.6 million from just 5 countries.

Disneys Christopher Robin is also new this week at number 4, it takes $29 million on its global debut from 19 countries while Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again drops to number 5 with $28 million from 54 countries bringing the films total global gross to $230.5 million.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is the highest total grossing film on the global box office this week with $1.2 billion and is still on release in 64 countries.

On the Uk box office this week we have the latest X-Men film taking over at the top on its debut week of release ending Captain America's 3 week run.

£7.3 million was enough to see X-Men Apocalypse reach the top of the chart, this is fairly average for an X-Men movie although it is lower than the previous entry X-Men Days of Future Past.

Interesingly the Wolverine movies have fared the same for debut grosses meaning that the average gross of a X-Men universe movie is in the £6 million region.

Last weeks top film Captain America: Civil War falls from the top quite hard to number 4 with a weekend take of £1.3 million bringing its total to £34 million.

Highest total Grossing movie on the box office this week is The Jungle Book at number 3 with £41 million.

It was a close run thing this week between Captain America: Civil War and The Angry Birds Movie making its debut but in the end the Marvel film won.

Civil War now makes it three weeks at the top and this week adds £2.7 million to its gross which has now soared to £32.1 million.

The film is now the 5th highest grossing of the year and before it finishes its run it should beat Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice and Deadpool, currently at 4 and 3 respectively.

The Angry Birds Movie is the highest new film at number 2 which on its debut takes £2.1 million.

Aiming squarely at kids but also appealing to adults that hooked on the game the film loosely follows the plot of the games.

The film should do well over the coming half term but will have limited appeal after that.

Longest stay by a film on the box office this week is Zootopia with 8 weeks and the highest grossing movie is The Jungle Book at £39.3 million after 5 weeks.
