Mission Impossible 7’ and ‘8’ Delayed, Get New Release Dates
The Tom Cruise films will open in 2023 and 2024.
Mission: Impossible 7, the Tom Cruise tentpole, will now open July 14, 2023 with Paramount and Skydance pushing it off its September 30, 2022 date.
The studio also has a new date for Mission: Impossible 8, which will open June 28, 2024. It previously was set for July 7, 2023.
This is the latest of several moves for Mission: Impossible 7 over the past 20 months as concerns of COVID-19 continue to shape the theatrical landscape.
In April 2020, in the early months of the pandemic, Paramount pushed the project from July 2020 to December 2020. That date then moved to November 19, 2021 and then to May 27, 2022.
“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. The new release dates will be July 14, 2023, and June 28, 2024, respectively. We look forward to providing moviegoers with an unparalleled theatrical experience,” Paramount and Skydance said in a statement.
