Our Take on Mission: Impossible 8 trailer release
This trailer could answer some big questions after Dead Reckoning’s poor performance
Reviews for Mission: Impossible – Dead Account May be glowing from critics and audiences, but the film was not a massive box office success due to its high, COVID-inflated budget of $290 million. The marketing for the upcoming eighth film, therefore, really needs to grab the attention of potential audiences, making the new installment one that cannot be missed in theaters.
After the underperformance of Dead account, It is possible that the story for the eighth film will have pivoted from what was originally planned. The Mission: Impossible 8 The trailer will seemingly address this, providing a better idea of where Ethan’s story goes from here and whether it will be the final installment in the franchise. In any case, it’s likely that audiences only have about a month to wait until the trailer is released.
