It can’t just be because of the pandemic. 

Paramount has lots of problems,  but could also be the movie

Like, why though?

These are never coming out lol

Is 8 even filming yet? I'm guessing it'll will once Cruise is done with promo on Top Gun Maverick. 

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Paramount wants reshoots which I think will happen alongside filming of 8.

[Macleod]

There are lots of things probably at play, here.  I suspect it's more Paramount stretching its slate out and somewhat due to COVID-extended issues, rather than problems with the movies, themselves.  

 

Paramount's supposed STAR TREK was already pushed to DEC. 2023, last I read, right?

Going to guess that The Flash moves up to Sep 30 or Oct 6 now. Only reason it hadn't was because MI7 was blocking the date.

September 2nd would be good too. Both It movies and Shang Chi were released on that weekend

So stupid.

Bruh why...

It's possible. The filming was chaotic even for a MI movie because of the pandemic. Par is cursed. Top Gun 2 sandwiched between Dr strange and Jurassic and now this.

It's likely that the COVID-related problems that have been impacting production is just forcing studios to think about the long term and move things to next year to take advantage of open spaces regardless of whether it's finished or not, kinda like how the WGA strike ended up having a major impact on the 2008-2009 movie schedule.

DL article still thinks the new release date is Wednesday before Father's Day 🤭 , they are clearly off a month

[EmpireCity]

I don't buy the pandemic reason at all.  

 

Paramount has no reason to release Mission Impossible 7 essentially 6 weeks after Top Gun: Maverick is finishing up its run.  

 

They want to make these world wide events and promote the shit out of it everywhere.  Hard to do when smashed up against another Tom Cruise movie.  

[CloneWars]

I remember there was once a time it was extraordinarily rare for a movie to get delayed. It only happened a handful of times each year. Since the Pandemic, it seems just about every week something gets delayed.

[John Rambo]

This has to be the worst news which i heard today! As a cruise fanboy guess i'll have to settle for this delay shit!!!

We're getting movies in the same franchise released 6 weeks after they release, but releasing a new Tom Cruise 6 weeks after his previous movie finishes its run (not even 6 weeks after release) is going to somehow make MI7 less of an event or harder to market?

 

With the attention span people have today, Top Gun 2 would've been old news by the time MI7 releases.

So between Maverick (May '22) and Transformers (June '23) Paramount don't have a big premiere. More than anything I'd bet on that Viacom-Comcast merger (Deadline reported some talks already happened) or Redstone selling at least Paramount and its streamer (to Apple?). The CW is already for sale (Viacom owns 50%) so if PAR has strong Q1+Q2 to make them look good... Yeah, I think that's why they moved TF and MI.

this sucks so much: the batman , John wick 4 and mi7 were my most anticipated action movies...

so after making a big deal about big movies on Paramount plus, none will appear until 2023, a mess with Maverick possibly having a window on EPIX first

Well, what big movies? They only have Sonic 2 and Top Gun 2 + MI8 and TF7 (likely to bomb anyway) in post-production and looks like the only movie Paramount could shoot this year is A Quiet Place spin-off (budget probably anywhere between 20-30M). This studio basically doesn't exist anymore so I'd bet Sheri Redstone sells it soon.
