NEW YORK CITY: After a globe-trotting publicity blitz by star Tom Cruise, 'Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One' launched with a franchise-best $80 million over five days, though it came in shy of industry expectations with a $56.2 million haul over the three-day weekend, studio estimates show.

The Paramount Pictures release's debut was boosted by strong overseas sales of $155 million from 70 markets. But while a $235-million worldwide launch marked one of the best global openings of the year, 'Dead Reckoning Part One' couldn't approach the high-speed velocity of last summer's top film, 'Top Gun: Maverick.'
