Paramount has confirmed the home release dates on social media.

I preordered Dead Reckoning through iTunes, Apple added it to my account on Monday night around 11pm. We watched on Tuesday. What a terrific film! One of the best of the year.

I'm glad we waited until digital release, now it's only 8 months until Part Two rather than 11 months.

5 out of 5 stars.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, as I agree with your assessment of the film. However, I would not count on Part Two keeping its current release date. They shot Part One and portions of Part Two simultaneously, but haven't finished Part Two yet. There is additional filming for it that needs to be done. This was originally intended to take place as soon as they finished the press tour for this film. However, the SAG-AFTRA strike has prevented that from happening as scheduled. The strike began the week Part One opened.

Paramount is holding the release date and has not announced a change yet. But I don't know if they'll be able to finish the film in time in light of the delay in resuming filming.

I loved Part One and am excited to see the rest, but I would prefer they delay it if that becomes necessary. I don't want them to rush out a subpar conclusion just to make the release date. It needs to be just as good as this installment. I'm not sure how much more work there is to do on Part Two, but it remains suspended. Given that the AMPTP has just called off talks with SAG-AFTRA again, and there is no end date in sight for the strike, I suspect a delay is going to happen.

Yah. It’ll definitely be delayed.

If they continue the release strategy they used for this one, Paramount will release Part 2 a week before the next Avatar movie.

This was awkward.

Nah - it'll come out the week before "Oppenheimer 2: Even Oppenheimier"!

OP2: Even Oppenheimier! Part One

 

[Jake Lipson]

To be fair, I don't think anyone could have predicted just how big both Barbie and Oppenheimer were going to be. However, it does seem clear that Dead Reckoning was severely dented by opening in proximity to them both. That being said, I hope Paramount is a little more careful next time when selecting the date Part Two will open.

The next film has been delayed to May 23, 2025.

Paramount Pictures has delayed the next “Mission: Impossible” by an entire year, from its original date of June 28, 2024 to its new spot on May 23, 2025. Like other films of its size and scale, the eighth “Mission” movie was forced to halt production amid the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike and won’t be completed in time to open next summer. It’s a fate that faces many big-budget tentpoles if the actors union and studios don’t resolve their contract negotiations in the coming weeks.

It will also get a new title despite still being the second half of Dead Reckoning Part One's story.

“Mission: Impossible” will arrive on the big screen with a new name. Paramount and Skydance are dropping the second half of its title, formerly “Dead Reckoning Part Two,” though the sequel will directly follow the events of 2023’s “Dead Reckoning Part One.”

‘Mission: Impossible 8’ Delayed to Summer 2025, ‘A Quiet Place’ Prequel Moves to Summer 2024

Tom Cruise's latest mission won't be hitting theaters until 2025, as Paramount updates its release schedule amid the SAG-AFTRA strike.

I think changing the title at this point is awkward. I suppose they don't want to imply that people who didn't see "Part One" need do homework before seeing the next film. I would have given them different subtitles in the first place. However, now that "Dead Reckoning Part One" is out in the world with "Part One" as part of the title, it's going to be weird and potentially confusing for its followup not to be named "Part Two."

Deadline adds:

"Mission: Impossible 8 will get a three-week run in Imax and will be filmed with Imax digital cameras for the Imax format. Do you hear that loud and clear, Christopher Nolan and Universal?"

BFD on digital IMAX.

People sought out "Oppy" because it was 70mm IMAX 1.43:1, not digital IMAX 1.90:1.

 

[Josh Steinberg]

Some of the IMAX digital cameras are capable of 1.43:1 - the production simply has to utilize that capability if they so choose.

 

[Sam Favate]

Not surprising. But I agree that not calling it “Part Two” is awkward.

Maybe studios will realize that the Part One/Part Two titles are not a good idea. We already expect film series to carry some elements over between films. Drop the One/Two designations.

Good to know - I was unaware!

Is that what "Dune" used?

I wonder if they'll replace the current master on iTunes with the one omitting "Part One."

I bet they will.

But have they kept track of all the people who've bought a physical disc copy, so that they can sneak into our houses and swap them out for a new, altered disc?
