Hollywood's Release Schedule Disrupted as "Mission: Impossible" Delayed

Hollywood's Release Schedule Disrupted as "Mission: Impossible" Delayed

 Tom Cruise's upcoming eighth "Mission: Impossible" film has experienced a big setback. In a recent announcement, Paramount Pictures marked the lingering effects of a protracted actors' strike by moving up the release date from June 2024 to May 2025. Hollywood studios were forced to change their release plans due to a labor conflict that has been ongoing for more than three months.

In the entertainment sector, the postponement of "Mission: Impossible" is a significant development that highlights the strike's effects on the entire sector. While Cruise and his crew were on a promotional tour for the previous episode, "Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One," the series was briefly put on hold.

Although "Dead Reckoning" garnered positive reviews and made $567.5 million worldwide, the film lagged behind "Fallout," its predecessor, and Cruise's 2022 smash "Top Gun: Maverick." The sequel to "Mission: Impossible" was delayed, which highlights how unpredictable the box office can be in a post-pandemic environment.

The labour upheaval in Hollywood has impacted not only the release schedules of films for the current year but also those of eagerly anticipated pictures for the following year. The strike had a definite impact on "Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse" and several Marvel films.

The cancellation of "Mission: Impossible" serves as a reminder of the entertainment sector's adaptability and perseverance in the face of persistent difficulties.

  Bangladesh, a traditional buyer of Chinese military equipment, has raised grievances with Beijing regarding the delivery of defective components and technical malfunctions in its imported military hardware. This issue is not unique to Bangladesh, as other nations like Myanmar have also encountered problems with Chinese fighter jets, according to an ET report. Experts in the Chinese defense industry argue that Beijing lacks the expertise to manufacture highly sophisticated military hardware and is not yet considered a top-tier producer of modern defense equipment. They claim that much of China's weapon systems are based on outdated technology copied from the West. Developing countries often opt for Chinese weapons due to their lower cost compared to similar systems from Western countries. China sells arms through state-run export organizations like the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), NORINCO, and CVIC. Sources familiar with the matter told ET that the Bangladesh mil...

India raises concern over North Korea missile tests at UNSC, 2nd time in weeks

 As the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) met for the second time in a month over the missile tests in North Korea, India yet again raised concerns over the impact on peace and security in the region. New Delhi has also reiterated its support for the denuclearisation in the Korean peninsula, underlining that it is “in collective interest” while also stressing that “dialogue and diplomacy” are preferred means to resolve the issue. The latest intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) test by the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) has again sparked tensions between nations with the United States and its allies calling for the country to limit its programs even as Russia and China back Pyongyang amid the likelihood of new sanctions. In the latest UNSC meeting, the United States, Britain, France, and India were among 14 nations to "strongly condemn" the latest North Korea launch on Friday, which was reported to have landed about 125 miles (200 kilometers) from ...
