Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning posted a franchise best opening weekend, but it also marked the first time the series missed this record.

Tom Cruise returns with his death-defying stunts and commitment to high-octane storytelling. The actioner directed by Christopher McQuarrie, received over five-minute standing ovation after a successful screening at the 77th Cannes Film Festival.

Impossible' actor and procuer wrote a heartfelt note thanking everyone involved in the movie-going experience.
