Deadline:
Much as he did domestically, Tom Cruise remained in control of the international box office this weekend. Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation grossed an additional $65.5M in its sophomore session to bring the offshore cume to $156.7M. The global total through Sunday is $265.3M. This weekend’s overseas tally is a 1.6% jump from last frame with 18 markets added, including great starts in India, Japan, Russia and elsewhere. Now playing in 58 territories, and on a like-for-like currency basis, the Paramount/Skydance actioner is running 33% ahead of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. Fox’s Fantastic Four reboot, meanwhile, entered 43 markets and grossed $34.1M on 8,996 screens. While some of the mature markets underperformed, there were 20 overall that gave it a No. 1 start with solid bows in Latin America and Southeast Asia. More on those below.

That surprises me a little. I thought that F4 would at least come out ahead by a small margin. I knew it wasn't going to do outstanding but I didn't expect it to completely flop.
