1. Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (Paramount) $56m 3,956/$14,156 avg. (debut)
2. Vacation (Warner Bros.) $15m 3,411/$4,354 avg. (debut)

5. Pixels (Sony/Columbia) $10m 3,723/$2,793 avg. (week 2)

Meanwhile, A24's dramatic biopic The End of the Tour, which follows Rolling Stone writer David Lipsky (Jesse Eisenberg) during his interviews with David Foster Wallace (Jason Segel), enjoyed a strong bow for a limited release, earning an average of $32k across four theaters.
