Franchise star Tom Cruise already had a Paramount-Skydance tentpole coming in 2022: Top Gun: Maverick, which has been delayed as well but is now gearing for a Memorial Day Weekend release.
The new release date changes would give Cruise an event film annually until 2024, however, we hear the Mission moves are more about pandemic delays. The seventh installment is currently in post.
Mission: Impossible 7 was previously on Sept. 30 — which, if you think about it, isn’t a prime time for what typically is a summer franchise.
Currently, M:I-7 and M:I8 are the only major-studio releases set on their new dates.
Through six movies, the Mission: Impossible has grossed $3.57 billion. The most recent, 2018’s Mission: Impossible – Fallout hit a franchise high of $791.7M at the worldwide B.O.
