Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning (Christopher McQuarrie, July 12, 2023) Movie • Page 35

I really think it was mostly poor timing on Paramount’s part. Ideally, they should have put it in Transformers’ slot.

It’s coming off weeks of pretty much non-stop blockbusters, with two of the biggest movies coming out the week after, taking its premium movie spots.

I assume casuals thought to just save their money and see Barbie or Oppenheimer the following week.

 

no idea how many casual people use services like A-List or Regal's subscription but I wouldn't be seeing even half of the movies I see in theaters if not for A-List. it's expensive!

 

How do subs work as far as box office numbers go? They're accurately taken into consideration?

 

honestly no idea, never bothered to find out

 

Was not expecting this to be as funny as it was

 

The car chase scene still kills me. Pom stopped dead while Cruise and Atwell do donuts. Amazing.

 

They've all had their moments ever since Simon Pegg joined the series.

 

Looking at Pom’s Instagram, I’ll be incredibly disappointed if there’s not some practical and beautifully choreographed skydiving set piece with multiple actors in Part 2

 

Just started watching the original Mission Impossible TV show from the 60’s - it’s great, haha. Same vibe and concept as the movies. Just fun spycraft

 

I've been meaning to check that out for a long time but have just never gotten to it.

 

Every “streamer” is just super problematic and turns out to be scum I feel like.

 

Did not mean to post that here my bad lol

 

to add to that

 

Good movie

 

They definitely should have moved the release date.

 

Its a shame this 'flopped' as it was super enojoyable and it was a great start to closing the franchises overall arc. Im really not sure why people didnt turn out for this one.

Its one of a few examples lately tho of escalating budgets that may push us back to a lot of cheap entry level films trying to find an audience for the next franchise.

 

I unfortunately wasn’t able to catch this. Has there been any reports for the digital release yet?

 

that's a great photo to use lmao

 

That makes so much more sense why cruise was yelling at everyone about Covid protocols on set - needed to show the severity of the virus

 

Can someone explain the article to me like I'm five

 

Someone explain to me like I’m 4 but extra dumb.

 

Basically Paramount filed an insurance claim since Covid delayed production of the movie. The insurance company gave them a minuscule amount because they said they could’ve stayed in production regardless of Covid. Paramount sued the parent of the insurance company saying that was bullshit and they ended up winning the full entitled amount. The insurance payout made the movie more profitable since releasing it so close to Barbenheimer screwed the movie
