Tom Cruise's 'Mission: Impossible 8' Release Date Postponed To 2025

Los Angeles, October 24 - Paramount Pictures' spy action thriller Mission: Impossible 8, starring Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise, is no longer coming out in 2024 as originally scheduled after getting postponed to 2025.

Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the sequel to "Dead Reckoning Part One" (2023) was supposed to be released on June 28, 2024, but has been postponed by nearly a year to May 23, 2025, according to Variety.



The movie was forced to halt production amid the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike and won't be completed in time to open next summer, just like many other tentpole movies, including Marvel Studios. "MI 8" will directly follow the events of "Dead Reckoning Part One", but it will hit screens with a different title, from the original name "Dead Reckoning Part Two".

"Mission: Impossible 7" or "Dead Reckoning Part One" was opened in theatres in June 2023 amid massive expectations. It was the most critically acclaimed and audience favourite movie of the summer of 2023, but despite that, it grossed just $567 million globally. The hype of the movie was swept away by the global phenomenon of Barbenheimer ("Barbie" and "Oppenheimer") which opened a week later and emerged as box office blockbusters.

Meanwhile, Paramount Pictures' "A Quiet Place: Day One", a prequel to 2018's post-apocalyptic hit, will land on June 28, 2024, instead of its previously scheduled date of March 8, 2024.
