Mission Impossible 7 Won't Be In IMAX For Long, And Tom Cruise Reportedly Isn't Happy
The battle between Oppenheimer and Barbie heats up as it becomes a triple threat match with Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt joining the showdown
This means that Mission: Impossible will also have to struggle against Barbie, which opens on the same day as Oppenheimer, and then every subsequent blockbuster for the next month.
Looking at this summer's schedule, every week through mid-August, starting with Fast X's release two weeks ago, and aside from the aforementioned Oppenheimer and Barbie, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One will also have to compete with Disney's Haunted Mansion, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, Meg 2: The Trench, and Sony's Gran Turismo. All of these come out within one month of Dead Reckoning. It's going to get crowded and Ethan Hunt and company might not be the kings of summer as Cruise probably anticipated.
Given the fact that Dead Reckoning, which has a Part Two scheduled to premiere next June, suffered a string of delays Cruise's anger or disappointment might be somewhat warranted, that's still something we're all dealing with as movie fans in general.
