The seventh “Mission: Impossible”, where Tom Cruise struggles once morest an artificial intelligence out of control, dominates the North American box office, according to preliminary estimates Sunday from the specialized firm Exhibitor Relations.

Paramount’s opus earned $52.6 million for its first weekend of release.

Some 27 years following the first film, “Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning” has been filmed around the world and is planned in two parts. Waterfall fans will be delighted.

In second place, “Sound of Freedom”, a thriller acclaimed by American conservative circles and which tells the story of a resigned agent’s fight once morest child sex trafficking in Colombia, garnered 27 million dollars in revenue.

Its detractors accuse this film of echoing conspiracy theories conveyed by the QAnon nebula denouncing a supposed international pedophile cabal.

If the studio behind the feature film, Angel Studios, assured to stick to the truth, the main actor Jim Caviezel and the agent who inspired the story of the film Tim Ballard, both relayed some of these theories.

The latest installment in the horror saga “Insidious: The Red Door”, in which a father and son battle demons, is demoted from first to third place, with $13 million in revenue.

This is more than the blockbuster “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny”, which collected for its third weekend of release only 12 million dollars and is in fourth position.

The animated feature “Elementary”, a fantastic tale from the Pixar studio (Disney) which places immigration in the background, closes the ban on the top 5 at 8.7 million.

Here’s the rest of the top 10:

6 – “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” (6 millions de dollars)

7 – “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts” (3,4 millions)

8 – “The Challenge” (3.3 million)

9 – “Joy Ride” (2,6 millions)

10 – “The Little Mermaid” (2.4 million)
