Tom Cruise’s ‘Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning’ Secures China Release Despite Trade Tensions
In a win for Paramount, 'Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning' has landed a May 30 release date in Chinese theaters.
The Tom Cruise-led action tentpole joins a growing slate of Hollywood fare making its way into the Middle Kingdom this year, with Disney’s live-action “Lilo & Stitch” and Universal’s “How to Train Your Dragon” recently securing their own mainland debuts. These approvals suggest Beijing isn’t yet following through on its April warning to “moderately reduce” American film imports — a threatened response to President Trump’s tariffs on Chinese goods. For Paramount, the China booking represents a crucial box office opportunity for the eighth installment in the espionage franchise, which has amassed over $4 billion globally, with approximately $500 million from Chinese audiences alone.
