Tom Cruise and Jason Statham, whose movies have grossed multiple billions of dollars worldwide, have been locked in a box office battle for a decade.

Impossible – The Final Reckoning posted the biggest opening for a US film in the country this year, defying trade and geopolitical tensions between Washington and Beijing.

In its fourth weekend, the film continues to draw steady footfalls, especially in metro multiplexes. While collections slowed in the third week, a recent midweek boost indicated that the action thriller still enjoys strong word-of-mouth and audience interest.
