Following WarnerMedia‘s controversial day-and-date release model, which will see all 17 of their films in 2021 dropping on both HBO Max and in theaters at the same time, Paramount Pictures will attempt to shorten their theatrical window for upcoming sequels such as Christopher McQuarrie‘s “Mission: Impossible 7” and John Krasinski‘s “A Quiet Place Part II.” According to Deadline, the pair of blockbusters will be dropped on their streaming service Paramount+ after spending 45-days in theaters. It’s definitely a sign of shortening windows and a trend that may impact the entire film industry if/when it continues. The move illustrates that Paramount is still committed to the theatrical industry, but tonight’s massive CBS-Viacom/Paramount+ presentation shows they are also looking to the future ahead.
The next untitled installment of the ‘Mission’ franchise has an impressive cast joining Tom Cruise that consists of Esai Morales, Hayley Atwell, Rebecca Ferguson, Simon Pegg, Vanessa Kirby, Shea Whigham, and original cast member Henry Czerny. Paramount has set it for a theatrical release on November 19, 2021.

While plot details are scarce, we know that Cruise’s Ethan Hunt will live to the end of the seventh film, the spy franchise, as they have a movie number eight ready to go. “Mission: Impossible 7” was originally planned by Paramount to shoot back-to-back with “Mission: Impossible 8,” but reportedly, due to Tom Cruise’s press schedule for “Top Gun: Maverick,” there will be a bit of production pause between the two massive spy blockbusters. It’s worth mentioning that it has been an extremely tough production for the cast and crew as they started shooting at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to a halt in filming almost a year ago after the outbreak in Italy put a pause on their plans to shoot sequences in Venice and Rome.
On-set frustrations were captured by the tabloids, with a leaked viral audio clip of Tom Crusie yelling at crew members not adhering to COVID-19 protocols.
“A Quiet Place Part II” stars Emily Blunt and Cillian Murphy, among others. The horror sequel follows the Abbot family, as they have to navigate a post-apocalypse setting that is populated by potentially dangerous survivors and the Death Angel, the alien creatures that hunt by sound. The film had been bounced around multiple times but recently landed a release for September 17, 2021. The studio is already pushing forward with a third installment with filmmaker Jeff Nichols attached to write and direct.
