Winnie-the-Pooh and _Christopher Robin_ couldn’t catch up to Tom Cruise and _Mission: Impossible — Fallout_ at the box office, as Cruise’s sixth, stunt-filled Mission: Impossible movie topped the charts for the second week. Paramount Pictures’ Fallout brought in $35.3 million to bring its two-week total to $124.8 million, according to final figures on 6 August. That was enough to easily outpace Disney’s Christopher Robin, which debuted with $24.6 million in ticket sales. Made for an estimated $75 million, Marc Forster’s live-action Winnie-the-Pooh revival stars Ewan McGregor as a grown-up Christopher Robin reunited with the beloved characters of the Hundred Acre Wood. The R-rated action-comedy _The Spy Who Dumped Me_ starring Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon , debuted in third with $12.1 million for Lionsgate.

Hunt is hunted by assassins and former allies in his efforts to prevent the terrorist organisation from provoking this global catastrophe. On the other hand, Christopher Robin stars Ewan McGregor as the titular character, whose mundane life is interrupted when he is unexpectedly reunited with Pooh, Tigger, Piglet and the other talking animals of the Hundred Acre Wood.
