Serious overruns! Mission Impossible 7 cost $290 million to produce! And there are also media reports that Atang Ge will bid farewell to this series (the finale) after "Mission Impossible 8".
The serious overrun of "Mission Impossible 7" was mainly affected by the impact of the epidemic and the continuous suspension of work and re-production, which was 100 million US dollars higher than the production cost of "Mission Impossible 6" in 2018! The film was originally scheduled to start filming in Venice in February 2020, but the crew was locked down by the epidemic as soon as they arrived, followed by a trip to Rome and was blocked again. The film also traveled to the United Kingdom, Norway, Poland, the United Arab Emirates and other countries, during which it was stopped 7 times because of the epidemic. Budget problems peaked last summer in particular, when co-producer Skydance Pictures refused to pay the excess $50 million (Rain's budget was $240 million), which was borne by Paramount Pictures.
The suspension not only affected the filming schedule, but also made the release schedule have to be postponed. "Mission Impossible 7" has been postponed from September 30, 2022 to The North American release on July 14, 2023, which will further increase the cost of publicity. Although the film was released in September last year, the reason why it was postponed was because the company hoped that the release dates of "Mission Impossible 7" and the final "Mission Impossible 8" would not be too long apart, and hoped that the filming of "Mission Impossible 8" could be completed before the release of "Mission Impossible 7". Previously, it was said that these two films would be filmed in sets, and the screening period was one year apart. Now "Mission Impossible 8" is set for June 28, 2024, and filming is scheduled to start in South Africa.
