Christopher McQuarrie’s Mission Impossible 5 to be released in IMAX

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE fans got some good news last month when it was announced the fifth installment in the franchise will be in theaters in July instead of on Christmas Day. Here's some more great news about the upcoming film: It will also play on IMAX screens worldwide when it opens this summer. This isn't a huge shocker since MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: GHOST PROTOCOL was partially filmed with IMAX cameras and had an early release in the large-format theaters.

Tom Cruise on MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 5's IMAX release:

IMAX is so important in giving the audience the best experience of the film we have made. I am very happy to have this partnership on the next ‘MISSION'.

Ugh, why do I have to live two f*cking hours away from the nearest IMAX theater? Although I didn't love MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: GHOST PROTOCOL like some people, I still thought it was a great film, and I'm very interested in seeing what director Christopher McQuarrie will do with the franchise. When do you think the first MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 5 trailer will be released? It's gotta be soonish, right?

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 5 hits theaters on July 31, 2015.
