Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning – Part One gets a new teaser video

While everything seems set for the premiere of Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One next month, Cruise is reportedly not happy with its release date. A new report suggests that the actor isn't happy that the upcoming movie will only be on IMAX for less than two weeks. Universal Pictures has secured a deal with IMAX for every screen in North America when the film releases on July 21st.

Tom Cruise is like, I am only getting one week in premium format theatres, that's gonna affect the box office and this is the guy who brought everyone back to the cinemas," Film critic Jeff Snieder said on a recent The Hot Mic podcast.

"I don't know how long Nolan has that IMAX engagement locked up for. Well, what you could technically see is Mission: Impossible return to theatres in IMAX after the Oppenheimer run. If it's a three-week or four-week contractual run, you could see it in week five, which is six weeks after the release of Mission: Impossible."

Dead Reckoning Part One was initially set to release on July 14th but Paramount moved it two days earlier to get more IMAX screen time. Snieder adds that Paramount should have released the upcoming Mission: Impossible sequel on the Fourth of July weekend to give it enough time on IMAX.

We will find out next month whether the conflicting IMAX schedules would affect the performance of Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One. Our guess is that audiences will still turn up in huge numbers even if the movie has a short run in IMAX theaters. The recent performance of Fast X indicates that audiences are keen to see how major movie franchises end.

Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One is coming to theaters worldwide on July 12, 2023.
