HOLLYWOOD - Nineteen years later, secret agent Ethan Hunt can still pack a punch.

Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation, the fifth installment in Tom Cruise's death-defying spy franchise, scaled to the top of the box office this week, according to tracking firm Rentrak.

Rogue Nation had the best opening day in the history of the series, which kicked off with 1996's Mission: Impossible. It comes in ahead of the franchise's last installment, Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol. The M:I films have raked in more than $2 billion worldwide, with plans for a sixth already underway, Cruise announced last week.

Meanwhile, most moviegoers opted not to 'Vacation' with Ed Helms and Christina Applegate. The raunchy road-trip comedy, a revival of the 1983 film of the same name, sputtered with only $14.9 million in second place.

Rounding out the top five, 'Ant-Man' continued to muscle forward with third place. 'Minions' fell one spot to fourth while 'Pixels' took fifth. Adam Sandler's arcade-game movie continues to disappoint with only $45.6 million in 10 days. (Source: USA Today)
