Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning Will Premiere At Cannes

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning has just secured a May 14th premiere date at the Cannes Film Festival.

The final entry in the Mission: Impossible series is looking to make a big impression on the world. And by "big," we mean they have secured one of the more lucrative premiere spots. According to Deadline, Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning will open during the Cannes Film Festival. The movie will premiere on May 14th ahead of its May 23rd wide release release date so expect reactions to drop as soon as that premiere ends over in France. Opening in Cannes has proven to be contentious for some films in recent years. There have been a couple of times now when a studio has pushed for a Cannes premiere only for the film to get mediocre reviews, and that reception suddenly dominates the conversation for days or even weeks leading up to the release date, killing any momentum the film might have had at the box office.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is probably one of the better examples of this. Warner Bros. just saw a festival opening backfire on them with the second Joker film last year as well, so you need to be confident that you have a solid film if you want to open at a festival these days. Festival Brain is very much a thing that is where deadlines and emotions are running so high that reactions tend to be very extreme one way or another, regardless of quality. So Paramount must be confident they have a winner with Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, which is even more interesting considering this is a direct sequel to a film that wasn't exactly beloved. This is a gamble, but at least if the premiere is bad, they only have 9 days before the wide release.
