Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning officially drops Part One from title for streaming release on Paramount+

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One will make its streaming debut on Paramount+ later this month, but it will officially be dropping “Part One” from its title. Dead Reckoning will be available to stream on Paramount+ in the U.S. and Canada on January 25th, and will debut in additional international markets beginning next month.

The title change shouldn’t come as a big surprise. The next Mission: Impossible movie was originally titled Dead Reckoning Part Two, but after the first movie was perceived to be a box-office disappointment, Paramount rethought its approach. When production on the new movie was forced to shut down due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, the studio pushed the release from June 28, 2024 to May 23, 2025 and announced that it would receive a new title.

I can’t imagine that the title change is going to thrill those with OCD tendencies who already own the movie on physical media.

Although Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning received rave reviews and grossed over $567 million worldwide, it did underperform compared to previous installments of the franchise, especially when its soaring budget was factored in. Paramount is obviously hoping that giving the sequel a new title will help its chances at the box office upon its release next year.

In Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team embark on their most dangerous mission yet: To track down a terrifying new weapon that threatens all of humanity before it falls into the wrong hands. With control of the future and the fate of the world at stake, and dark forces from Ethan’s past closing in, a deadly race around the globe begins. Confronted by a mysterious, all-powerful enemy, Ethan is forced to consider that nothing can matter more than his mission – not even the lives of those he cares about most.
