Tom Cruise's upcoming"Mission: Impossible" film is getting boxed out of Imax theaters by Christopher Nolan's"Oppenheimer" — and the star is"pretty pissed" about it,Belloni wrote that Cruise has been"complaining loudly to Paramount executives and others about the Imax situation, per multiple sources familiar with the dialogue."opens July 12 and has most Imax screens booked — until July 21, when Nolan's epic about J.
."The headline, for me, is by shooting on Imax 70mm film, you're really letting the screen disappear. You're getting a feeling of 3D without the glasses. You've got a huge screen and you're filling the peripheral vision of the audience. You're immersing them in the world of the film." Given Nolan's commitment to Imax and his stature as a filmmaker, it makes sense that"Oppenheimer" studio Universal was able to get an Imax exclusivity window, especially since Belloni reported the film secured its release date well before"MI7" got its earlier date.
But that doesn't seem to be much consolation to Cruise, who has reportedly gone on the offensive to secure other premium large-format, or PLF, theaters. "Imax makes up just a little more than a third of the large-format screens in the US, so Cruise has lately shifted his efforts to securing as many of those non-Imax PLF screens as he can," Belloni reported,"even personally calling around to exhibition and studio executives, per multiple sources."Subscribe to push notifications
