Paramount’s Mission: Impossible III debuted with $48.025 million, a solid opening yet well below industry expectations and almost $10 million lower than the franchise’s previous instalment, according to studio estimates.
Paramount’s Mission: Impossible III debuted with $48.025 million, a solid opening yet well below industry expectations and almost $10 million lower than the franchise’s previous instalment, according to studio estimates.

Industry analysts had expected the movie to open in the range of Mission: Impossible II, that had debuted with $57.8 million over the weekend (Friday to Sunday) over Memorial Day weekend in 2000, and Cruise’s War of the Worlds, which premiered with $64.9 million from Friday to Sunday over fourth of July weekend last year.

Cruise’s antics in the past year or so, publicity over his romance with Katie Holmes and the tabloid blitz regarding their daughter’s birth in April may have left some movie-goers burned out or disenchanted with the actor.

Traditionally reserved about his private life, Cruise abruptly became an open book, jumping up and down on a couch while professing his love for Holmes in an interview with Oprah Winfrey and spouting his scientology beliefs, including rants against psychiatry.

Mission: Impossible III generally earned favourable reviews, some critics calling it the best in the franchise and many offering high praise for Academy Award winner Philip Seymour Hoffman, who plays Cruise’s nemesis. Along with potential Cruise backlash, the long six-year interval since Mission: Impossible II may have dulled audience’s appetites.
