'Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation' Scores Highest Opening Numbers in Franchise History


Tom Cruise brought in $20 million this Friday with the opening of Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation.


The fifth movie in the franchise -- which was produced by Cruise -- is expected to make just over $50 million for Paramount this weekend alone, with Friday's opening marking the biggest in franchise history.




In the latest movie, Ethan Hunt (Cruise) and his team take on their most impossible mission yet: Eradicating the Syndicate, an international rogue organization out to dismantle the IMF.

Cruise himself has earned more than $100 million in 17 of his 35 movies, and he recently revealed the secret to his box office success.



"Every day on a movie set you learn. I feel myself to be really a student," Cruise said. "Just when you think you've climbed the mountain, you realize there's another mountain to climb and it never gets boring. I feel very privileged to do what I do."



The first four films in the franchise have brought in more than $2 billion combined, with nearly $700 million coming from the previous series entry, Ghost Protocol.
