Atang Ge's "Mission Impossible 8" or the final chapter The epidemic has led to a sharp rise in costs

The Hollywood blockbusters "Mission Impossible 7" and "Mission Impossible 8", which have been postponed several times, are undoubtedly the films that many fans are looking forward to. However, for the fans of the film, this may be the last two "Mission Impossible" films. According to Variety Magazine, due to the impact of the epidemic, the shooting cost of "Mission Impossible 7" has risen sharply, and director and lead actor Tom Cruise is ready to use these two films as the finale of the entire series.

"Mission Impossible 7", which started in Italy in February 2020, encountered new crown pneumonia and had to stop. For the next year and a half, the film stopped intermittently, finally ending in September 2021. In addition to the rising costs caused by prevention and control and downtime, there are also problems in the global supply chain, and various costs such as the use of wood for scene construction are also increasing. The production cost of "Mission Impossible 7" has now risen to $290 million.

The cost of $290 million means that even if you don't count the publicity costs, the film needs to reach more than $900 million at the global box office before the producer can save the capital. The "Mission Impossible" series currently grosses about $3.5 billion worldwide, but no film in the entire series has reached the global box office of $1 billion, and if Mission Impossible 7 really invests $290 million, it will be a great challenge for both Atangge and investors.
