Mission: Impossible – Fallout earned another $6.838 million for Paramount/Viacom Inc. on Monday, dropping 60% from its $17m Sunday gross. That brings its domestic cume to $68.075m in four days, which is (give-or-take MoviePass’s implosion over the weekend) is about what most of us were expecting for the film’s Fri-Sun debut, especially after the $6m Thursday gross. The film’s $6.838m Monday and 60% drop is higher than Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation ($6.7m Monday, -56% from $15.56m Sunday) and Lucy (-58% from a $11.7m Sunday). However, its 60% drop from Sunday to Monday is identical with Jason Bourne, The Bourne Legacy, and The Wolverine among recent late July/early August action thrillers
