Release Radar – July 14th, 2023

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One leads the way after Tom Cruise got into it with theater chains over the dedication of IMAX screens, as the already early July 12th release date got moved up two more days with “early previews” on July 10th. So, Tom gets a 7-day opening weekend for his baby to dominate the box office. That said, there are still quite a few alternatives this weekend. I am not going to do blurbs for them because I’ve got a packed travel schedule, but I wanted to do the rundown anyway. Cheers!
