The third Venom movie followed a succession of other Marvel films in shifting back. Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse has been postponed indefinitely.
As the actor strike has gone beyond three months of work stoppage, the eighth Mission: Impossible film has been delayed by a year, heralding a new wave of release schedule juggling for Hollywood studios.
The eighth Mission: Impossible film has been delayed by a year, indicating a fresh round of release schedule juggling for Hollywood studios as the actor strike has lasted longer than three months.
The following Mission: Impossible film
Paramount Pictures on Monday changed the release date of the Mission: Impossible movie from June 28 to May 23, 2025. When Tom Cruise and his team left for an extensive international promotional tour for Christopher McQuarrie’s Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One, production on the sequel to that film was put on hold.
The final global box office total for Dead Reckoning was $567.5 million, falling short of the previous year’s Fallout ($791.7 million) and the exhilarating heights of Tom Cruise’s summer 2022 smash Top Gun: Maverick ($1.5 billion). The 163-minute action thriller received some of the best reviews of the 27-year-old film series, but Barbie and Oppenheimer quickly outperformed it at the box office.
More movies are pushed back
As Hollywood’s labour unrest has persisted, it has increasingly disrupted release plans for several of next year’s top blockbusters, as well as films this fall that wish to wait until their stars can market them (like Dune: Part Two, which was postponed until March).
A string of Marvel movies have previously shifted back, as did the third Venom film. Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse has been delayed indefinitely after being dated for March 2024.
Paramount also announced Monday that A Quiet Place: Day One, a prequel to the post-apocalyptic horror series starring Lupita Nyong’o, will have its release pushed from March to when Dead Reckoning had been scheduled to open, on June 28.
Negotiations between the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, and the studios are scheduled to resume Tuesday.
