Box Office: Mission Impossible Lower Than 2018 Installment As Audiences Turn Off Summer Movies, Aging Stars

Not only is the town on a massive strike, but box office receipts are disappointing all the way around. With traditional promotional venues like late night talk shows closed thanks to the strike, Hollywood has had a lot of trouble pushing its wares. This weekend, “Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One” made just $56.2 million. “Dead Reckoning” has made a total of $80 million since last Tuesday. Box office is $85 million, driven by the purchase of ‘free tickets’ from groups and distributed to lottery winners.
