The team must track down a dangerous weapon to keep it from falling into the wrong hands.
Hayley Atwell, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, Cary Elwes and Rob Delaney are the newcomers who have signed on for a share of the action.
Variety reported the disappointing ticket sales could be the result of Tom’s projects attracting an audience older than the target audience of males aged 13 to mid 30s.
2018’s Mission Impossible: Fallout earned only $60 million in its first three days.
With a budget of some $290 million Dead Reckoning Part 1 has a long way to go to recuperate costs.
The movie has received a 96-percent critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 94-percent audience score.
As more word of mouth reviews get out, this could result in a steady stream of movie goers eventually making their way to theaters.
Globally, the action flick has pulled in $82.1 million across 70 international territories through its first three days of release.
