Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023)

1 week till release, some theaters are doing a paid early screening next sunday too




started re-watching the movies since I haven't seen them in years and years, I thought i'd fast forward MI1 a bit since its so old but damn it was great and I was never, ever bored. I forgot Vhing Rhames came on board way back then too. The ladies are smoking hot in MI1 and MI2, young Thandie Newton is bananas

MI1 is still the best one, in my opinion.

MI2 is just way too ridiculous and stylistic. John Woo at his worst.

Third one gets trashed some but Hoffman gives such an amazing performance that I think really carries the film. When he's on the plane being interrogated the way he delivers his lines is pretty chilling.

I saw the first one in the theater with my grandmother when I was 10. The fact that this franchise is still going strong is a testament to Cruise's insane dedication.

got my dolby tickets for next tuesday

Dude is 60+ and still dying for a pat on the head from L. Ron, but damn if he can't put asses in seats and put in some top notch performances.

Never liked any of them.

I was looking at booking tickets for the weekend. My local theater has 3 showtimes all day for non-Mission impossible movies, I don't check this kind of thing often but did Indy release with this kind of screen control?

Most new movies have a ton of screen time their first weekend and then drop to just a few the following week. So sounds about normal for MI to take them all.

They are going for that strong weekend release number. If you start your weekend on a Tuesday, you will get better numbers than a Thursday. Tom Cruise is a genius.

No, those will be counted separately. For the usual opening, anything short of a full Thursday can be rolled into Friday but if you have an entire Thursday of viewings it will only count for Thursday, likewise for other days. So Wednesday will be the roll up from Tuesday and other earlier limited screenings. Typically the reporting will tell you the 3-day weekend amount and the full 5-day opening as separate values.

One likely reason for the earlier release date is to have more premium screen domination before Barbie and Oppenheimer open. Plus good word of mouth can spread better when it opens before the initial weekend.

Saw it on at AMC Dolby today, I guess it must have been an early screening or something because NO TRAILERS! I missed 10-12 mins of the movie since I usually walk in late lol

loved it, I just finished rewatching all the movies and was super pumped up for more Tom Cruise running and jumping and he did not disappoint. I don't think its quite as good as Fallout, Henry Cavil and the Paris and finale set pieces were outstanding in that movie and really hard to top, but the action set pieces in this movie were really great.

Really enjoy the basic plot of the movie and how topical/timely it feels, although parts of it did feel a bit underbaked. Solomon Lane (bad guy in 5-6) is hard to top and I don't think this movie succeeded quite as well in the basic story but it was good enough.

It doesn't end on a super cliffhanger like Into the Spiderverse, but there is clearly more.

Action stans are super blessed this year between John Wick 4, Sisu, MI7, Plane, Spider-verse, D&D and Extraction 2 with still Expendables, Equalizer, Dune, and Rebel Moon still coming.

out on VOD Oct 10th, 90 day theatrical exclusive

I saw it tonight, and I liked it, but it felt VERY short. We arrived like 20 minutes late because drinking, and it was over an hour later. So a real quick movie. I was expecting it to run like 2 hours, but nope. Oh well. That said, I enjoyed what I saw.

Did you pass out during the movie? It's over 2 and half hours long.
