R-rated comedy 'The Spy Who Dumped Me' and pro-Trump documentary 'Death of a Nation' are also opening nationwide.
Weekend Box Office: Mission: Impossible 6 Making More Honey Than Christopher Robin
In the showdown between Tom Cruise and Winnie the Pooh at the box office, Cruise appears to be winning.
Paramount's Mission: Impossible — Fallout is pacing to gross $30 million or more in its second weekend, while Disney's new family offering, Christopher Robin — inspired by the classic children's tale Winnie the Pooh — is projected to earn $25 million-$30 million in its domestic debut, according to early Friday returns. Numbers, of course, could shift as the weekend unfolds.
Christopher Robin started off Thursday night with $1.5 million in previews. Prerelease tracking showed the live-action/CGI hybrid opening to $28 million or more, with many services predicting $30 million-plus.
The late-summer Disney movie, directed by Marc Forster, stars Ewan McGregor as an overworked and stressed-out adult Christopher Robin, who has lost touch with his imagination. All that changes when his childhood friends — Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger and the rest of the gang — magically emerge from the Hundred Acre Wood.
Several other films are also set to open nationwide, including Lionsgate and Imagine Entertainment's The Spy Who Dumped Me. Directed by Susanna Fogel, the R-rated action-comedy starring Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon earned $950,000 in Thursday-evening previews for a projected debut between $11 million and $13 million. (The comedy genre continues to be challenging at the box office.)
The story follows two friends who become entangled in an international conspiracy when one of the women discovers that her ex-boyfriend is a spy. Justin Theroux, Gillian Anderson, Hasan Minhaj, Ivanna Sakhno and Sam Heughan co-star.
For the first time since Deadpool 2 in mid-May, Fox enters the box-office fray with the YA film adaptation The Darkest Minds, directed by Jennifer Yuh Nelson, the acclaimed helmer of the last two Kung Fu Panda movies. The film grossed $550,000 in previews and a muted debut in the $6 million-$8 million range is expected.
The story follows a group of teens who mysteriously develop new abilities and are detained and declared a threat by the government. Sixteen-year-old Ruby (Amandla Stenberg) escapes and joins a growing resistance with other teens. Mandy Moore, Bradley Whitford, Harris Dickinson, Patrick Gibson, Skylan Brooks, Miya Cech and Gwendoline Christie also star.
The fourth pic opening nationwide is the pro-Trump documentary Death of a Nation, from controversial conservative filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza, who was pardoned earlier this year by President Donald Trump after pleading guilty to violating campaign finance laws. Predictions are tough, as the doc — an unabashed screed against Democrats — is launching in far fewer theaters (1,005 locations) this weekend than the other releases.
D'Souza's last doc, Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party, grossed $4 million when expanding into a total of 1,217 theaters in its second weekend after first debuting in three theaters. Death of a Nation looks to earn $2 million-$4 million (the doc presently has a 0 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes).

Mary Trump 'energized' as uncle 'Donald's campaign spirals into chaos'
Mar 29, 2024
Donald Trump's campaign is in chaos, and his niece says she's energized.Mary Trump, the niece of the former president and a psychologist by trade, has previously been critical of her uncle.On Thursday, she said her uncle's failures are adding up.ALSO READ: A neuroscientist reveals how Trump and Biden's cognitive impairments are different"As the RNC’s fundraising falters and Donald’s campaign spirals into chaos, I am energized!" she said in a Substack post.She then continued:"When Donald dominates the news cycle, it’s hard not to feel overwhelmed. Every bad headline has a negative impact. But then I remember something crucial: There’s usually more to the story than meets the eye. I’m determined to cut through the media noise and share with you all the good that happened this week. These are the headlines we need to remain energized and hopeful that the media largely ignored."Mary Trump goes on to highlight President Joe Biden's recent fundraising hauls."President Biden’s $155 million+ war chest has just received another turbo boost, bringing the total of cash on hand to at least $180 million. (By comparison, between his campaign and the RNC, Donald barely has over $50 million — and continues to drain the accounts to cover his absolutely staggering legal expenses)," she wrote. "This is a development that could significantly increase Biden’s ability to influence the narrative in crucial swing states."This, she says, also tells us a lot about voter excitement for Biden."While critics have expressed doubts about the degree to which the Democratic base is fired up as compared to 2020, today’s $25 million fundraiser, raised with donations ranging from $250 to $500,000, should put any doubts to rest — yes, we are absolutely behind President Biden and Vice President Harris and we’re in this fight until the end," she wrote.Read the full post here.
