Paramount Pictures and Skydance said on Friday that both the seventh and eighth installments in the blockbuster film franchise will be delayed due to the ongoing epidemic. The “Mission Impossible 7”, which has no title, is now scheduled to arrive at the theater on July 14, 2023, and “Mission Impossible 8” is set for June 28, 2024.
This marks the recent postponement of the epidemic related to the seventh film “Mission Impossible”. Its latest release date was May 27, 2022.
The delay comes as the home box office sees more misses than hits when it comes to franchise blockbusters. While a film like “Spider-Man: No Way Home” has grossed over $ 703 million in the US and Canada, no other film released in 2021 has grossed more than $ 225 million in domestic ticket sales.
The “Mission Impossible” franchise relies heavily on international ticket sales, especially from China. “Mission Impossible: Fallout” is making $ 791 million in international ticket sales when it comes out in 2018, and about $ 570 million of that amount comes from sales outside the US and Canada. Ticket sales in China amounted to about $ 181 million for that business.
China has always been very selective about what Hollywood films allow in theaters, meaning that many celebrity films miss out on important revenue.
