Beating Oppenheimer’s Record

By the end of Day 2, Mission Impossible 8 has officially outpaced Oppenheimer‘s two-day collection. Nolan’s epic biopic had earned $135 million globally in its first two days, which was considered phenomenal for a drama-heavy historical film. But Cruise’s action-packed espionage thriller has now set a new standard for franchise films in the post-pandemic era.
