Uneasy memories of box office duds “The Mummy” and “American Made” were soothed for Tom Cruise recently. “Mission Impossible Fallout” scored $61.5 mil US and $153.5 mil worldwide.

The latest installment within the series had the greatest opening weekend yet. Plus, at the very least this time around Cruise can get back in China right after August. “The Mummy” made $91 million there, but “American Made” wasn’t even released there.

Of course, “Fallout” can attribute a number of its extra success that it opened in US locations than each alternate film in 2010.

Meantime, this can be a summer of documentaries. “Mister Rogers: Won’t You Be My Friend” just crossed the $20 million mark. A lot of other docs are booming. Nonetheless the Whitney Houston doc, “Whitney,” continues to be? disappointment. Perhaps her fans needed to see great performances along with the inner workings behind the curtain of concerts, and the studio. They got something quite different.
