I’m assuming it will be called Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning - Part 2

At this point, they could just make M:I7 Dead Reckoning and M:I8 something else, like Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, or Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.

It wouldn’t be the first film to change title mid its box office run. Hell, historically, it wouldn’t even be the first Tom Cruise film doing that.

And exactly how much did it help??

 

The problem is that your examples of Avengers and Spider-Man were announced as two-parters, but changed before the actual promotion for the films ever started.

Idk then, they better listen to you instead. It seems to be working, right?

Voldemart is now saying 21/10 for both the movies but he put "as high as" before the numbers. So could be the high end.

I'm confused by that link. Edge of Tomorrow was released as Edge of Tomorrow and it's still called Edge of Tomorrow. Saw it on one of the movie channels recently. The Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning movie has "End of Part 1" written on the screen at the very end of it, lol

It ended up released as Live. Die. Repeat..

 

Quote

The home release's packaging downplays the original Edge of Tomorrow title in favor of placing more prominence on the film's original tagline, "Live. Die. Repeat." Media critics believed that the re-branding was an attempt by Warner Bros. to re-launch the film's marketing following its lackluster U.S. box office performance. Posters for the film's theatrical release had similarly placed a larger emphasis on the "Live. Die. Repeat." tagline than the actual title of the film.^[88][89]Similarly, some digital retailers listed the film under the title Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow.

Not in America. It has always been called Edge of Tomorrow here, both in theaters and home video. Take a look at the movie's title on Box Office websites:

Yeah I mean yeah why wouldn't it be called DR Part 2. By the time it comes out people will have caught up on Part One and it will have a much better release date and with better marketing it will be fine.

Knowing you, Barbie's feet are more than enough.

 

Going Monday, remaining calm. Hey, they put those front and center in the trailer. They knew.

Seems problematic to have a caption at the very end of the movie that says "End of Part 1" and then have a completely different title on the next movie. They should have come up with a better title for the current movie, and the later movie could have been "Dead Reckoning" by itself.

Exactly the mistake was calling it Part 1 in the first place. Changing now would only make things worse. 

[blackspider]

Assuming the 21m for Barbie sticks, that means it maintained 80% of the 26.1m on Monday.

 

Looking at other massive July openers for comparison:

 

Lion King: 71%
HP7 Part 2: 62%
TDKR: 68%
TDK: 67%
Thor 4: 68% 

 

This thing is a monster!

I have no dog in this fight, I’ll just point out it’s funny how people seem to acknowledge that it was a mistake and still want them to proceed calling the sequel Dead Reckoning Part 2 lol. One would imagine that not insisting on the mistake would be better, but maybe it’s just me.

TWICE > All these flops.

[ringedmortality]

When I saw Oppenheimer last week it was mostly millennials, at oldest GenX. But when I watched it today it was mostly boomers.

The end of the movie kind of forces them to double down on it moving forward. Big bold letters on the screen. "END OF PART 1." Pretty ridiculous decision on their part. They should have been more low key about it, or just used a different title altogether. 

[Johnny Tran]

Local theater was packed tonight.   Again just one theater but I saw tons of older skewing people looked to be going for Oppenheimer and of course lots of ladies in pink

Sort like Dune Part 1, I gather? I don’t know, with the box office numbers, although it’s obvious that it’s getting the sequel, wouldn’t be wise to change that on PVOD? It’s such a "action movie" kind of title that I don’t see the importance of keeping the name, but then again I was mad that Endgame was called that and not something more related to the Infinity Saga so what I do know lol.
