Recent sources have spoken to IndieWire about the updates to Paramount’s theatrical releases. For the fifth time, Mission Impossible 7 is getting pushed back to 2023, and with the forthcoming Mission Impossible 8 set for its release on July 7, 2023, was moved to 2024 as well.

A Paramount representative commented on the recently made changes to the Mission Impossible films, saying, “After thoughtful consideration, Paramount Pictures and Skydance have decided to postpone the release dates for ‘Mission: Impossible 7 & 8 in response to delays due to the ongoing pandemic. The new release dates will be July 14, 2023, and June 28, 2024, respectively. We look forward to providing moviegoers with an unparalleled theatrical experience.”

Paramount planned to have the seventh installment of the franchise to be released on September 30, 2022. Mission Impossible 7 already received rescheduling for July 23, 2021, to be moved to November 19, 2021; and they would again be rescheduled to May 27, 2022. Due to the pandemic and the recent grapple to maintain ongoing Covid that continues to haunt theaters. Paramount announced the delays to 2023. This is unfortunate to box offices who continue to see movie delays in recent months. Paramount’s latest release Scream 5 is doing well in the box office with its earnings of 54.9 million.

Mission Impossible 7 release is set for theaters on July 14, 2023, with no further information.
