(ANSA) - NEW YORK, 09 FEB - Covid proves to be an economic drain for 'Mission: Impossible 7'.
The next chapter of Mission: Impossible, scheduled for release on July 14, 2023, cost $ 290 million, about $ 100 million more than Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018).
According to what Variety writes, the lockdowns for the pandemic in the different countries in which it was shot have weighed on the film, which stars Tom Cruise.
Production was stopped quite a few times.
The main filming should have started in February 2020 in Venice but immediately the stop came.
A sequence had to take place during the famous carnival but at the same time all of northern Italy closed for Covid.
The troupe then moved to Rome, but the increase in infections ruined plans again.
In addition to the costs of keeping everyone safe, transport costs have also been added to numerous countries where the film is set, including the United Kingdom, Poland and the United Arab Emirates.
The various crews also had to be paid during quarantines and forced stops.
It is no wonder, therefore, that it was close to $ 300 million.
