Last week we brought you the news of Mission Impossible: Fallout opening to big numbers in China . In its second week in the Middle Kingdom the movie grossed a further $37M for a total of $137.7M in the territory.
That figure now means that Fallout is the highest grossing entry to the Mission Impossible franchise at the worldwide box office. Currently Fallout has grossed $726.6M worldwide from $212.1M domestic and $514.5M foreign.
Fallout is also expected to top Mission: Impossible II‘s$215.4M total at the North American box office by the end of the week. That will also make it the highest grossing entry to the franchise in North America.
As an aside Fallout is now also the highest grossing movie ever starring Tom Cruise. Not bad for an actor in his fourth decade in Hollywood!
