Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol has soared to the top of the Australian box office chart in its first week of release.
Tom Cruise's action blockbuster knocked DreamWorks' animated family movie Puss in Boots from the top of the standings in the last set of sales figures to be released before the Christmas weekend, taking over $4 million across 414 screens.

Elsewhere, there is little change from last week's chart, as last week's top six each drop one place.
There are two new entries - family drama Dolphin Tale sits at number eight, while French social comedy The Women on the 6th Floor enters the chart in tenth place.
Immortals, Moneyball and Midnight in Paris all drop out of the top ten this week.

1. (-) Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol - $4,121,596
