Mission: Impossible — Fallout Takes No. 1 Spot in Weekend Box Office




Mission: Impossible — Fallout easily took the No. 1 spot at the domestic box office as audiences turned out this weekend to see Tom Cruise in his sixth run as Ethan Hunt.
Studios on Sunday estimate that Fallout earned $61.5 million from 4,386 North American theaters. Not accounting for inflation, it’s a best for the series which has grossed over $2.8 billion worldwide and one of Cruise’s biggest too.
“Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” placed second with $15 million, while The Equalizer 2 fell to third with $14 million and “Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation” took fourth with $12.3 million.
The animated “Teen Titans Go! To the Movies” was the only film to open against Fallout. The Warner Bros. release earned $10.5 million and landed in fifth place.

Oscar Pistorius Will Be Sentenced for Murder After Dismissal of his Appeal

A lawyer for Oscar Pistorius says South Africa’s highest court has dismissed the former track star’s appeal of his murder conviction. The ruling by the Constitutional Court on Thursday clears the way for a judge to sentence Pistorius for murder at a hearing scheduled for April 18. Defense lawyer Andrew Fawcett confirmed the Constitutional Court’s decision and said: “We’ll proceed to the sentencing.” Pistorius, who killed girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in his home in 2013, had appealed to the Constitutional Court, saying another court erred when it overturned a manslaughter conviction and declared the Olympic athlete guilty of murder. The minimum sentence for murder in South Africa is 15 years, though a judge can reduce that sentence for what the law describes as exceptional circumstances. Pistorius is currently under house arrest. [ Time ]
