　　The Paramount/Skydance tentpole generated $20.3 million at the Friday box office, setting anopening day mark for the sturdy franchise - and signaling that Cruise still carries plenty of starpower. Saturday's total hit $19.7 million.

　　It's the third largest opening for Cruise, following the $64.9 million launch for 2004's "War of theWorlds" and $57.8 million for 2000's "Mission: Impossible 2."

　　"Rogue Nation" also opened in about 40 percent of international markets with $65 million, led bySouth Korea's $17 million.

　　The fifth installment in the series, written and directed by Chris McQuarrie, finds Cruise facing offagainst a squad of special agents known as the Syndicate. Simon Pegg, Jeremy Renner andRebecca Ferguson also star.

　　"They have delivered a film that has such energy and excitement," said Rob Moore, Pararmount'svice chair.

　　"Rogue Nation," which carries a $150 million price tag, is one of a rare studio tentpoles that wasmoved forward rather than backward. The original plan had been to open on Christmas Day thisyear, but Moore noted that Cruise had asked during filming - which started last August - could bemoved up to avoid competing directly against the next "Star Wars" movie (which opens Dec. 18)and James Bond's "Spectre," which launches Nov. 6.

　　The overall box office for the weekend is down significantly compared with the same weekend ayear ago when Disney/Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" opened with a stunning $94.3 millionweekend.
