Mission: Impossible’s New Premiers? Yes, They’re Delayed
Get ready for a temporal twist in the world of espionage films. Paramount Pictures and Skydance, the masterminds behind the Martians: Impossible saga, have officially pushed back the releases of the seventh and eighth entries.
What Went Wrong?
A worldwide pandemic hit the industry hard. While the crew worked tirelessly on set, theatres faced extended closures, leaving the just–finished Mission: Impossible 7 and the upcoming 8 on standby.
The new schedule looks like this:
- Mission: Impossible 7 – July 14, 2023
- Mission: Impossible 8 – June 28, 2024
Why the Delay?
The companies issued a joint statement: “After thoughtful consideration, Paramount Pictures and Skydance have decided to postpone the release dates for Mission: Impossible 7 & 8 in response to delays due to the ongoing pandemic.” This move gives theatres a chance to bounce back from months of lockdown.
What This Means for Fans
- More Leaps – Thanks to the extra time, the climactic action sequences can reach new heights.
- Fresh Screen Experience – When theaters reopen, audiences can dive into a freshly polished world.
- Expect the Unexpected – With the film schedule shifting, the creative team might add something even cooler than the last film.
Keep an eye on AMC Entertainment and Cinemark Holdings Inc., as they work to get theaters buzzing again. The buzz isn’t from the pandemic—it’s from the unstoppable excitement of Tom Cruise’s latest mission.
