Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning began its box office run by breaking records, but it's now fallen off the pace to break a major record.

Audiences chose to accept their final Mission over Memorial Day weekend. Paramount’s Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning — the eighth and final installment in the Tom Cruise-fronted franchise — opened opposite Disney’s live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch for the combined biggest Memorial Day weekend box office haul in history.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning has set a new record with its "excellent" debut at the US box office. The eighth (and possibly final) instalment of the action series hit US cinemas this Friday, collecting $63 million during its opening weekend.
