The postponement comes as the domestic box office has been hit or miss with major blockbuster features. While a film like "Spider-Man: No Way Home" has generated more than $703 million in the U.S. and Canada, no other film released in 2021 has garnered more than $225 million in ticket sales domestically.
The Mission Impossible franchise has relied heavily on international ticket sales, especially from China. "Mission Impossible: Fallout" tallied $791 million in global ticket sales when it came out 2018, and around $570 million of that total came from sales outside the U.S. and Canada. Ticket sales in China accounted for around $181 million of the film's gross.
China has been more selective about which Hollywood films it allows in theaters, meaning many blockbuster films are missing out on significant revenue.
